When autumn rolls around, nothing is more helpful than a leaf vacuum to clean up those leaves in the yard.
It is like having a vacuum cleaner used outside for the leaves.
They act like an indoor vacuum cleaner by picking up the leaves and storing them in the vacuum until they're ready to be emptied.
Some of the types of models also chop up the leaves and turn them to mulch which makes it even neater to clean up those leaves.
There are leaf vacuums, or catchers, as they are sometimes called, that have as many as three bags attached to them at once to catch the leaves.
They may have a mower deck as large as 60" and also have a PTO drive.
Many of them actually look just like a lawn mower.
Billy Goat makes leaf garden vacuums that look like an old-fashioned lawn mower, but it does the job as a modern style.
One large heavy nylon bag is attached to the back and is strong enough to hold many leaves before needing to be emptied.
The housing adjusts to four different heights to accommodate the user.
A remote hose can also be attached to the vacuum to reach those hard to get places.
The leaf vacuums even come in the hand-held portable models.
These are convenient to use, and are usually a combination of a vacuum and a blower.
The blower can be used first to blow the leaves all into one spot.
Then the vacuum could be utilized to pick up the pile of leaves.
This is a neat, efficient way to clean up the leaves in the yard.
It is especially practical for those hard to reach places under and between the bushes.
This type can also come with a duster bag.
