Fall cleanup without the right tools = a LEAF Burrito

Wrong tools, no problems! Leaf vacuum? NOPE- just get some tarps, a trailer and you can haul as many leaves as you need. Today we are cleaning up a 5 acre site with barely no equipment.

Heres the best prices on Amazon tools:

ISO tunes

Winter equipment-Best cutting edge ever:

just found your channel, videos or whatever ya call it lol, couple months back .first time saying anything .first and foremost, you are definitely right about, use your mind always ways to complete a task other than what the standard way to do it (not right tools improvise, something goes different than planned use it to your advantage ).wanted to say it is also refreshing to see you and your guys all get along good together and work well together (two leaf blowers side by side clearing off a trailer and neither just covered or blasted the other lol ) respect of others i say ... enjoy the videos and much respect to each of ya .merry Christmas to all and happy new year .here's to a safe, enjoyable, profitable year .

Stan man... that's too funny LOL ;)
You know those "ag-bags" (big 3/4-ton+ bags used to hold seeds/fertiliser/etc that they can't get rid of after one use) I use those big bags for leafs and lawn-clips (hauling em for my compost pile etc)
But I'm doing "burritos" only to empty them into my bags.
Wait for it.... 5yrs ago, I stop by a guy and asked him if I could have his leaves. He said "Sure!!"... I went back a few hours later to help/pick/grab them... as he was >>mowing-racking them... toward onto a 18'x18' tarp that he had laid in the middle of his yard (with 2"x6" lumber all around laying/holding so the wind would not flip it over etc) His lot is just about 22000sq/yrd.... about 3 burritos.
I had brought my big-bag as I usually shovel leaves in there, but that time, all I had to do was to fold and roll the "burrito", and funnel/empty it in the bag.
Been doing that burritos trick ever since, along with my ag-bag, loading em up while in the trailer though, and it does not take 2hrs to empty the trailer (I've put up to 400pnds of leaves in a bag ounce) The heavier and hard the bag is loaded, the easier it is to roll down (it's like a flat tire yeah)
Get those big bags man. Ask any farmer around. They'll be glad to get rid of em ;)

Nice log bumper on the jeep, matches the house.

I prefer actually Rual King, Tractor Supply and then Home Depot in that order. When we did take down a 40' Palm tree I used my Ladder and bought quickly form Home Depot a 100' nylon rope so I can cut it so I won't loose my Saw and also cut a loop out of it so I was strapped to the Palm when I cut the head off which my helper held to the other end because we had to lay it down within 10' between 2 houses.

Loosely tie two front corners off tarp together and then wrap a strap around knot and attach to your truck. Much more efficient. Mower will work too or attach to a tree and drive forward. I don’t always have mowers with me in this situation. Nice work!

[GarrettWilliams]

Great video love it. Don’t ever let the haters get to ya! Might make a few people happy if you stopped making videos but think of how many thousands would miss em

[ultimatelawncaretyleralbre]

Upside is you can cover up your trailer for the winter 😎😅

[philiplogemann]

Should have tied the top bit of the burrito to the mower and pulled it off the trailer with that, it would have dumped the leaves as it flipped around with out any leaf blowers

[andyr]

What we do, when making leaf burritos, is use many 12'X16' tarps because they can be handled by two men. We leave them all full so that we can unload them fast and easy!! The way we do clean ups (now that I have a zero turn mower) is use the mower to push the leaves right up the ramp! Works great! HUGE TIME SAVER!!. Then unload them with a shovel and backpacks. Looks like this property may not be suited for that method.

I think it is great that you use the Socratic teaching method by asking questions while you are teaching your employees how to do things.

[kjbrimm]

I don’t shop much at either. But when I do need something I’ll go to Home Depot before Menards

[nicholask]

I like Home Depot because they treat U.S. Veterans amazingly!

[jimbobaby]

i do the same thing only no trailer just the truck and smaller tarps piece of plywood to compact the leaves like a garbage truck

[michaelb]

I have a boat trailer that I converted into a utility trailer. I then put a dumpster bag on it to haul leaves, dirt....

[stevevoytovich]

I just bought a cub cadet 42in zero turn and have all the other power tools blowers, whackers, saws and such. I'm younger and trying to start a landscaping business. Do you have any tips for me? I know it will take a while to get going and to not give up if you miss bid a job because that's how you learn! But any good tips would be THANKS STAN!!! Love you're vids!!! I learn slot from them. So thanks again for that!!

[cdngamereh]

gj man love the videos.. i was stuck like this one day but owner had a ton of leaf bags.. i would def buy a 100$ tarp instead.

[Lakecenterlawncare]

Same as you, Menards 80% Home depot for tools. Love the rear log bumper on the Jeep!

[killerar]

You can really see the power difference in the Stihl blower here... Way better comparison between the machines with a leaf pile than just surface leaves

[brandon]

Menards looks so cool I wish we had that in Canada. It's like a cross between home depot and Canadian

Been trying new skid steer plows for this year. Have to say, you have to get your hands on an HLA blade. Absolutely amazing! Can't really wear the wings down the same as the snow wolf but also just... Amazing
