Ed: Well, the pics didn't post in the order I described but I guess they're self explanatory.

Thought I'd post pics of my homemade leaf vac. 1&2 shows attachment to deck that Marlboro 180 wanted to see. 3&4 shows restrictions that have to be removed for max air flow. Ed: #4 shows the shredder plate removed since it covers half of the opening. I failed to get a pic of it in place. 5&6 show intake and exhaust attachment to chipper. 7,8&9 show tlr interior,gate, and overall pic of the rig.
Thanks for looking,

Is the whole top vented, or just the piece in the rear? I'm still trying to figure how much area I need open for the one I'm building.

The sides and top are all sunscreen which will let the air thru but hold the small particles. Never had any restriction problem w/ it.The trailer will dump but w/ the fabric it won't so I unload w/ a manure fork.

I wonder if I can get my Shop-Vac to do that?
