Anybody using a “Leaf Vacuum”?

[JimDeL]

I bought an Agri-fab unit, connected to my A-C rider. No need for it but neighbour has 10-12 million maple leaves to deal with, and I'm bored.

Bought a used Agrifab vac for $300, used it for 4 or 5 years, and sold it for $500. It worked well as long as the leaves were dry. If they were the least bit wet they'd clog the 6" hose.

Bought a DR "Pro" series vac and have been happy with it over the past 12 years.

Definitely a time (and work) saver.
Yeah, they're noisy. I wear noise-cancelling earmuffs most of the time when using my DR.
