LOU from Wi. 11-20-2009 16:41:47 174.124.70.187 817839 Report to Moderator	Just acquired a (almost new) mow-an-vac with extra hose to hook up to our lawn tractor. Time to up date from a sweeper unit. Got way to many leaves to rake-sweep not to mention old age has a heck of a lot to do with the situation. Son found it from a friend of a friend.price was more than reasonable so couldn"t pass it up. No more sweeping and raking our acreage. Now the storage shed just got revised upward in size for more stuff to shed come spring building time. Does any one have this kind of unit(agri-fab) and whats the opinions ? LOU [Reply]   [Send Email]

Found out real quick that the higher the mower deck and leaf pick up function still functioned the better the vac operated. The grass which was cut tended to gum up the deck and hose surfaces which retarded the flow of leaves to the basket.Chopping leaves worked best when dry and frost free also.Make sure the air filters on the vac and tractor are working ,lots of dust at times. Good luck.JH   [Reply]   [No Email]

Expensive in the first place, is cheaper in nthe long run.   [Reply]   [No Email]
