Re: (ET) Leaves and an E-12

I live in New England and its getting to be fall. Which means tons of
leaves in my yard. I was just curious if any of the Elec-trakkers out
there with a leaf problem found a way to use the tractor to pick up the
leaves? Do those lawn sweepers that you can pull with a tractor
actually work? Is there a bagger option for the Elec-Trak?
I wish there was a bagger. I used to have a Craftsman tractor with a
bagger option. For the fall I would replace those wimpy little trash
cans with a pair of 55 gallon drum liners. Worked pretty well.
For the Elec-trak, I have reduced the leaf collection area to the front
of the yard. I use the electric sweeper to collect the leaves, dump them
in a central location, then bag the results manually. It works pretty
well actually; I like the power sweeper.
I would recommend that you put duct tape on all the corners near the
ground. This will help to keep wear to a minimum as I am not sure if you
can get the bin separately anymore.
