Sounds like you have a bit more lawn to cut than I do. Most of the time I use my hydravac. Leaves a really nice looking lawn. It does add 20-30 minutes to cutting the lawn. The 16HP Vanguard engine in my 4016 just can't keep up most of the time with my RM48 deck and the hydravac. On my bucket list is more HP... May be a newer Ingersoll or a new engine in this one?

Re: Holy mowin
so the mowing is done here for the year. I mowed and sucked up the leaves today, that's it, I'm done. The few leaves left in the trees the wind can take care of. Today brings me to 64 hours of mowing on the 4118 this year. Time to get ready for snow. and get some seat time in the deer stand.

Re: Holy mowin
Tim - That's a lot of mowing this year. Looks like you have about 13 hours in mowing/leaf cleanup.

Re: Holy mowin
I've never really kept track before, but I know it's more than last year.
I did the leaves multiple times this year and the grass kept growing. We didn't get frost till a couple of weeks ago. The trees all dropped their leaves at different times and over a longer time than normal. In some ways it was kinda nice, yesterday was the only time I had the deck plowing a pile in front of it.
Last year I cleaned up a few early, the rest all fell at once. A very windy day and they were all gone and I didn't have to do any work.
