What is the going rate for one of these leaf collection systems ? Just average condition, but in working condition. Has some rust. Grenade range ?

Thanks for your input.

I would peg it at six to eight hundred IF...... it is 100% complete, in good repair and not a bucket of rust.

Wow, had no idea they were that high. This one has some rust at the bottom of one of the panels on the trailer and is missing the large vacuum hose. Other than that it's complete and functional.

The hoses are a normal wear/tear item. The rust is minimal and easily addressed by anyone with an angle grinder and a wire cup brush.

As for value, I think a brand new set up would be well over 2 grand today IF you could actually buy one. The geniuses at Ingersoll apparently can't even maintain a steady supply of hydraulic motors for these vacs and so they are currently unavailable as an attachment.

I see the cart, the high sides but I don't see the roof for it. I see the vac unit but I don't see the boot that bolts onto the deck along with the baffle. Where are those items?

What is in the pictures is what comes with the sale - but it's $150 so it sounds like I better just grab it.

Right now, there is a minimum of 4-5 guys checking your profile for your exact location, and then scouring CL to find out where that deal is. That is an awesome deal, even if you didn't need it. Buy it quick.

Thats an awesome deal, my tractor came with most of those parts, but no hydraulic parts, and a gas engine that doesn't work. I want that in the worst way. You're lucky you're in Ohio, lol

Cat385B - it was actually listed on ebay, I bought it. I still can't tell from his description if the chute (?) that attaches to the deck is included, but at worst I have to get the hose and chute. For $150 I apparently couldn't go wrong.

Will save HOURS and HOURS each fall picking up leaves. I have dozens of trees and spent many hours with an Echo backpack blower getting rid of them.

screamineagle66,

I have 2 of these units and they are excellent for leaves and grass collection. You got an incredible deal!:woohoo1:

You will also need a rear PTO valve to run it if you don't already have one on your tractor ...

:trink40:

 

[screamineagle66]

I do have the PTO, also have 3 point. Is this going to mount with the 3 point arms on, or will they need to come off when using the vac ?

It was listed on CL for $250, good deal.

Along with the boot, you will also need a baffle that funnels the clippings into the boot. At least that was the subject of another thread by a fellow member here. (who should chime in soon) More knowledgeable members can tell ya what (or if) you need in that department.
