Does anyone own a lawn vacuum, the type that looks like a push mower? How well do they work at picking up acorns from grass? I've heard that they have a hard time picking up leaves from anything other than concrete. What has been your experience. I need something to pickup oak leaves and acorns from my yard.
Answer
The success of a vacuum depends on the amount of the suction. The more leaves that are trapped in the head or hose, the less pull you are going to have. Also, the pull of the vacuum is best on light things that have a good surface area. As a result, you probably wouldn't get the results you want on acorns.
In my days in commercial landscaping, we never used a lawn vac. We either used a backpack blower or a push blower that looks like a vacuum cleaner. That was done for a few reasons.
Getting the area clean in the more efficient time was always key. Vacuums hardly ever fill their bags totally. This means that you have to stop multiple times, take the bag off, dump or bag it, put the bag on, and repeat the process.
When you use a blower, you can sweep across an entire side of a yard into a central area. Depending on how large a pile you want and how big a yard is, you could get the leaves into one pile. If you use a blower, you can direct a wind of over 100 mph onto an acorn. It will definitely along into the pile. If it doesn't, a vacuum wouldn't done it.

What is wrong with my riding lawn mower?
DH
I have a polan pro riding lawn mower and it starts up fine but then in about 5-10 min it slows down so much that it shuts off gradually so when i drive it shuts off. What should i change/check/fix? any tips will be greatly appreciated.

My lawnmower is doing that, too. I need a new gas cap because the gasket fell out, turns out the gasket has a valve in it that lets the gas tank breathe. When it doesn't, it creates a suction that stops the gas flow. For now, I've got to loosen and retighten it about every 2-3 minutes, just about when it starts to 'cough'.
