    Nice work. :yes: Gotta do some leaf cleanup myself, if I want to have grass next year... I keep putting it off - was hoping the wind would help me out more than it did!

    Maybe if I sprinkle enough coffee grounds on them, they'll turn into compost! :rofl: :lol:

    That 150 must have some guts, I know how fast and deep the leaf line gets in a short distance, wish I would have went back pack way.

    Looks great! I worked on leaves today also and had to resort to the front end loader to shove the huge windrows of leaves. Took 6 hours to clear the yard :hair:

    HD, how did you make out with that poplar that you posted about last week? I think it was a 'tree ID' post

    I cleaned up some leaves as well but it sucks when your neighbors don't clean there mess and the wind blows it on your property. You did a nice job cleaning

    After spending an entire fall once working for a landscaping company blowing leaves with 3 guys using BR600's, as well as a Billy Goat blower, I vowed to blow as few leaves as possible in my life. Now I block off the discharge chute in my mower and just chop them up. It takes less time, makes the yard look just as clean as blowing them, and that natural fertilizer makes my grass that much greener the following year!

    Yeah they plow cuz it's a county road now, and blacktoped instead of dirt, but some of the guys just go straight and don't do the turn around

    It's still standing , I'm not in a hurry on that , more leaves to do in the back yard and it's much worse than the front
