- Part 4 is the conclusion of this build and includes the first test gathering leaves and grass from my yard. I then describe the changes and upgrades to the build and made it a toolless install and removal. It takes about 5 minutes to install and remove the entire system with one person.

I will be making one of these. Thank you for your work and showing the areas to be cautious. Too much of this world would expect you to show the math and be responsible for someone putting their hand into the blades. We both know it is what it is. I hope mine turns out as good. Hope all is well.
That's what a "shake down" is all about lol. This build has it all.
Enjoyed the series,
Lee
Thank you Lee and you got the (Shake Down) right. It was trying to jump out of the mount. LOL!! Going to install a kill switch on it too. Glad you enjoyed it brother. Take care.
Good build, Good presentation. Excellent results.
Ha! I see I am not the only one with a winch on the front of my riding mower. Nice work on the leaf vacuum.
Really inspiring Stephen. I enjoyed everything you've done and shared with us.
Keep up the great work & keep making videos bc they are better than any TV shows 👍
Thoroughly enjoyed this project Stephen, well done old chap!
Thank you Bryan. It was a lot of fun for me also and a good learning process. Take care buddy.
Great job Stephen! Ive enjoyed every series youve done. Cant wait to see the next project!
Thank you Dave. It was very fun and educational for me. Glad you enjoyed it too brother. Take care.
Stephen -- great fun to watch you build this - thanks for sharing! My best to you and your family. Dennis
Thank you Dennis. Glad you enjoyed this project. We all are doing great. I hope the same for you all also. Take care my friend.
Hi Stephen enjoyed the whole build, some good engineering there. You should be proud.
Thank you Philip. Glad you enjoyed this project my friend. It should clean my yard for a long time. We will see. Take care.
Congratulations for this beautiful achievement which inspires me a lot.
Fixing the evacuation duct seems urgent to me, because at this price, it is worth protecting it. A simple iron rod would do.
From France.
Nice build. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week :)
Very interesting work. Impressive how well the system picks up debris.
Super clever winch system. Thanks for posting this.
Interesting build and a great job engineering it. I would suggest running a ground wire kill switch from the blower motor to somewhere on the mower where you could reach it real quick if you ever have problems again and need to shut down the blower. Looking forward to more adventures!
Thank you Kerry. I will figure some way to kill the motor. That little incident I had was pretty scary. The design of the housing will not allow any of the vanes to be thrown at me but the unbalanced impeller could destroy the motor. Thank you for your suggestion and I will come up with a kill switch of some kind. Take care.
Awesome build Stephen
Thank you Donald. Glad you enjoyed it buddy. Take care.
another great project Stephen really enjoyed it.
Thank you Ron. It was a fun build. Glad you enjoyed it my friend. Take care.
Great build Stephan.
Thank you Jack. I am glad you enjoyed this project sir. Take care.
GREAT JOB on building this. I just bought a Kubota BX 2380 tractor/mower. I am going to build something like this but hang it off my 3 point in the back. I am going to power the blower with the PTO. It will entirely hang off the 3 point and not be a trailer. The tractor is pretty heavy so even if I had a lot of lawn clippings in it I don't think weight will be a problem. I am going to make the cage part removable like you did so I can use the back end as a kind of pickup bed for hauling stuff around. Love how you built the dump system.
Thank you Robert. Glad you enjoyed this project. Sounds like you have a great plan. I would really like to know how it turns out. Take care.
Good job!😀
Awsome job. Only afterthought suggestion for you to still do or anyone else building one including me when i copy your idea. Have a metal collar that the bolts go through. This way you can tighten right down to deck as tight as you want and theres no stress on the fiberglass. Could use anything, a nutsert or even nut with the threads drilling out if your cheap like me.. 👍
Awesome video series!!
I've seen a couple of blower fans and all had a full size backing plate to stiffen up the blade. but very impressed with your ingenuity first class build.
Nice job!
Great job, really enjoyed the series. Thanks 😄
Thank you Ann. Glad you enjoyed this project. Take care.
With all that dust in the air I think a face mask would be worth considering. Nice idea the whole set up.
Formidable série de vidéos. Moi qui cherche à construire un ramasseur de feuilles, je suis bien renseigné par votre expérience. Merci !
Great Job Sir! You might want to build a deflector for your catch box to aim it down though!?!!
If you drive in a clockwise direction, there would be less chance of the hose coming off as it's currently configured. Might consider changing the mount on the rear of the tractor to something flexible like a spring.
Wow! That was quite a project. You’ll have people lining up begging you to build them their own.
Thank you Daryl. It really does work as well as I hoped. Glad you enjoyed it my friend. It was a good challenge and a lot of fun to build.
That is amazing!
Looking GOOD!! Sounds like you need some kind of "Kill Switch" at the tractor for the motor for a quick shut down if anything like that happens again. I know, easier said than done!
Thank you Chris. Glad you enjoyed this project. You are correct and I am now trying to figure out how to get that done. Great suggestion and thanks again. Take care.
Cotter pin the motor mount bolts or safety wire the nuts together
I like it. The blade failure is dynamic movement. Just remove the impeller, put it on a small shaft. Drill holes in heaviest blade on bottom. Spin until all blades balance. Fifteen minute job. Just great job.
Thank you Frank. I have just bought some new bearings to do just that. Glad you enjoyed this project and Take care.
It’s some nice work. I’d make that back plate 14”, or you’re going to have it happen again. To improve your welding, slow your hand speed down, increase your wire feed and amperage a little bit. You’ll see an improvement and better penetration.
Thank you sir, for your advise. I will give it a go. Take care.
What kind of dump trailer is that?
Я так понял у вас лопать вентилятора отвалилась и улетела? Плохо приварили сваркой поэтому улетела или не отбалансирование был?
Change the angle of the blade so you get a vortex and add gussets so blade could mulch too.
Amazing job! I’m interested in doing something similar off of my Kubota but I’m wondering if it is possible to do without the vacuum/motor. I’m most interested in grass clippings. It’s a large, powerful deck and it certainly throws grass a long way without the shield on. Any thoughts on that?
Thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed this project. I honestly could not tell you how that design would work. However, I have seen people using it on normal riding mowers with really nice results. Give it a shot. It may work great for you and, if not. You will have learned something new. Best of luck with your build. Take care.
Looks good to me buddy. I wonder what made you come up with this idea????
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed this project. I needed a system similar to this. Commercial versions are way too expensive and only have trashcan size receptacles. This build is my version of some commercial ones I have seen.
vibration is the fault its because you made the fan but i like your set up and i am going to make what you got cheers
You might want to place a strip of sheet metal the width of the exit to the top of cage to help deflect the output of the blower down in to the cage.
Thank you Horace. I thought about that and I have some 16 gauge I could use. Thank you for your suggestion. I can make that happen.
You could weld a ring around the side opposite of the motor the strengthen up the blades and maybe put some toggle clamps for the cage oh and some filter material cause that thing was putting out some dust
Thank you Jerry. That is a great idea and when I build my new one I will do that. Thank you again. Take care.
@@StephenOgle be sure to show that video if you've not already built it
I know you probably going to add a mulchure after the blower and add a adjustable reflection hood at the end of the hose so less spillage occurs. Part 5
Golly that there leaf gitter worked!
Throw a tarp over the cage to keep the dust down and you got it made
That is a good idea Dale. Thank you. Glad you enjoyed this build. Take care.
Personally I would have tried to put the impeller on the top, not the bottom as you have, as the way you got it,
It will require cleaning,
How much to come do my yard this winter? 😂
Lol! I will have to check my schedule. Glad you enjoyed this project. Take care.
Great job first. I think your problem is the impeller is not balanced, get it balanced and you will done !!!!!!!
Thank you Ronnie. When I get the new one built I will take it to the machine shop in town. Maybe they can help me with balancing a little better than my crude way. Glad you enjoyed this project and thank you for your suggestion.
Make a kill switch wire to kill vacume motor
A kill wire is a great idea. Thanks. I will install one.
That blade could have killed someone even you.
Omg way too much dust coming out the catcher git containe that better thumbs down I have craftsman steel pull behind box from late 70's / 80's and I'm not putting all that dust in air.
