Jim_M 178 #1 Posted September 4, 2009 Electro 12 with a 7-2611 blower unit and a home built trailer. I just got it all put together yesterday and it seems like it will work just fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rollerman 290 #3 Posted September 4, 2009 Jim did you fab the trailer up yourself? Leaf pickup will deffinatally be a breeze with that setup. The Harley looks good too. :scratchead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim_M 178 #4 Posted September 4, 2009 Actually the trailer came with the blower. Whoever built it did a nice job, but I need to put some bigger/better wheels on it eventually. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Iron 1 #5 Posted September 4, 2009 Nice fabrication of trailer, I don't see a vent screen, I assume it is on rear?? A screen catches loose debris as well allow the blower to blow into the trailer without backpressure-which decreases suction power. I'll have to get mine set-up again. :scratchead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

whfan74 2,015 #7 Posted September 5, 2009 Jim, I like the set-up! Personally I love the look of that tractor.........looks familiar! :hide: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim_M 178 #8 Posted September 5, 2009 Scott, That tractor turned to be a real good runner. I thought about giving it a quick paint job, but I kind of like the faded red on it, gives it a little character. Besides, leaf pick up gets pretty dusty. Red Iron, The vent is in the rear so it will blow all the dust behind the tractor. Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They blow dust and ground up leaves everywhere, most of it goes down the back of your neck. :scratchead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim_M 178 #10 Posted September 6, 2009 It's a dirty job, I know. This one should run a little cleaner than my other one though, the vent is 3 feet further from the driver's seat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrabHorse 1 #11 Posted September 6, 2009 Nice setup there, looks like it will do a great job! Is that blower kind of rare? Although I was never actually looking for one, I've seen some other types out there, but I don't recall having seen one like that before. How is the pto drive setup, it is driven of the tractor right? Just guessing it is a hydro tractor only setup double pulley off the trans? Also just noticed you might be needing to upgrade the trailer wheels sometime? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Iron 1 #12 Posted September 6, 2009 That's good to keep the vent as far away from operator. Mine's on top, but with a "hood" to direct the flow straight back. I know the vacuum creates lotta dust. I usually run my vacuum one day after I mow, that way, the "drier" clippings don't clog up the vent screen as quick. Otherwise, have fun manicuring your lawn!! :scratchead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
