Homemade Leaf BULLDOZER cut fall clean-up by 70% !! #amazing

What happens here

Jay, who helped build the custom leaf box on the dump trailer, explains its features. He points out the roof vents, which are crucial for equalizing air pressure. Without these vents, the air from the vacuum would have nowhere to escape, causing back pressure that would hinder performance and potentially damage the system. He also mentions the back door seal, acknowledging that some air inevitably escapes there until the box fills up. The custom box, made of plywood, cost around $300 (which he notes would be more now) and is mounted on a Sure-Trac dump trailer.

Goal: Detail the design and benefits of the custom leaf collection box.

Tools and materials

  • Custom Leaf Box Custom Built — Collecting and transporting shredded leaves
  • Plywood — Constructing the custom leaf box
  • Roof Vents — Allowing air to escape from the leaf box, preventing back pressure
  • Sure-Trac Dump Trailer Sure-Trac — The base for the custom leaf box

[Applause] [Music] [Applause] hey did you help build the lease box too yeah i both believe boxes about okay so i noticed on the top you have some roof vents yep is that so that as the air is coming out as the air as it's blowing in that air has got to equalize otherwise it would just bind up and nothing would perform right that's correct yeah i just want these guys to know because if the air goes in one place it's got to come out somewhere else and air vents actually help filter the leaves out and you got them up on the top yep yeah so with the inside those they do all right they do get clogged up quite a bit um i try to clean them out every now and then but uh the more that we try to seal it up the harder it becomes it starts pushing harder in a lot of spots and letting stuff out more yeah so i try to give it a few areas the roof um to get out obviously there's nothing that you can ever see about the back door and that's where we kind of lose our the most until it loads up enough that the whole back door is filled and then at that point in time we don't lose any more and everything and all we're looking at is a sure track dump trailer yup that you put a box on yup a plywood box how much that box cost you oh probably 300 bucks with plywood costs you know it's back in the day now now it's probably like a thousand yeah and that's how a lot of guys get their mowers on fire too oh yeah we've had that happen almost once oh really yeah it was it was scary it was back when we had ctrs and i was on the mower running in the back it was actually the place we're going to next and i was running on the back where i was running in the backcourt on that and yeah all of a sudden bradley looked at me and he's like get off and he gets in there with the pool real quick and just starts going to town why was she smoking yeah it was it was really close to becoming a problem wow [Music] [Applause]
