Building an aftermarket Dump Bed for your truck

That sounds like a really great idea in a pinch. What kind of leaf vacuum did you use?

Billy goat. Like the one you posted

Do you remember the HP? That one is an 18hp w/ electric start and backup pull start.

I don’t remember but that sounds about right. I’ll find out

16hp. It was plenty. Leaves, acorns, small sticks, dirt wet leaves and small rocks no problem. If you blow all the leaves on to concrete and they are dry, 3 dudes can’t rake the leaves into the nozzle fast enough.

To be clear, with the set up I told you about is not a set up to drive around someone’s yard and suck up leaves. You will still have to have a strong backpack blower or something and blow the leaves into a pile, then vacuum

Looked at dump bed kit for new PU in 2000, regretted not doing it. Have you seen the dump bed inserts, but 2x cost of dump kit with OEM bed.

Looking at Echo 8010T supposedly best for wet leaves and a push blower, by the time it’s all said and done , leaf season will be over

The billy goat push blower is good but you won’t use it nowhere as much as you think you would. I would hold off on buying one of those.
