Replying to: rsholland (Nov 06, 2009 1:32 pm) Yeah Bob, I shoulda known you'd ask Interesting... the operator's manual only lists the 3,500 lb GTW rating. The GLK is pre-wired to accept a 7-wire harness but the manual directs you to check state and local laws for their trailer brake requirements. Good luck hauling those leaves. Speaking of which, I better head outside myself and get started on the yard. -Frank Replies to this message: rsholland (Nov 07, 2009 6:41 pm) ateixeira (Nov 08, 2009 6:39 pm) rsholland (Nov 08, 2009 7:19 pm) and 6 more... p0926 (Nov 09, 2009 5:44 am) and 2 more...

Replying to: p0926 (Nov 07, 2009 8:38 am) No unbraked tow rating? That is odd! 6 trailer loads of leaves to the landfill today. I'm beat...

Replying to: rsholland (Nov 07, 2009 6:41 pm) You gotta build a compost pile like I did. Over time (lots of time), you end up with rich, dark soil. I made an herb garden for the wife, which we'll start planting in next year. I'll show you next time you come over. I have yet to tackle the leaves this year. We had TONS of acorns, the most ever. Wonder why?

Replying to: ateixeira (Nov 08, 2009 6:39 pm) You gotta build a compost pile like I did. Got one. Besides, hauling all those leave to the back woods, from the front yard, is even more work.

Replying to: ateixeira (Nov 08, 2009 6:39 pm) Well after a weekend of raking, our yard is leaf free for the moment. However, I figure only about half the leaves have fallen so I can plan on another weekend of leaf raking in the not too distant future. I read that this was a banner year for acorns. Certainly all the neighborhood squirrels are having a good time gorging themselves. -Frank Replies to this message: ateixeira (Nov 09, 2009 7:57 am) xwesx (Nov 09, 2009 9:51 am)

Replying to: p0926 (Nov 09, 2009 5:44 am) So long as they're not gorging on my cars' wiring harnesses, I'm happy! Replies to this message: xwesx (Nov 09, 2009 9:51 am)
#14478 of 14557 Leaves... by robr2 Nov 09, 2009 (8:12 am)
I put some into a compost pile, but the rest I have to put in kraft paper bags and the town picks them up and hauls them to a central composting pile. I typically put out about 80 bags over 4 weeks in the fall. I got a new attachment for my lawn tractor - the monster leaf bag. It lets me pick up about 4 times what my bagger can. It's a time saver - I mulch the leaves first and then vacuum them up with the tractor. www.mosterleafbag.com Replies to this message: xwesx (Nov 09, 2009 9:55 am) hammerhead (Nov 09, 2009 10:46 am) p0926 (Nov 09, 2009 11:43 am) xwesx (Nov 09, 2009 1:14 pm)

Replying to: ateixeira (Nov 09, 2009 7:57 am) Just wait a year or two.... with all the food this year, you know their population is on the rise. When food is in short supply, all those extra mouths will be hungry for a little electrical buffet!

Replying to: robr2 (Nov 09, 2009 8:12 am) I have a hand rake. I could get a second one if anyone wants to help! But, the leaves here left long ago. I hauled some lumber home on top of the Forester yesterday, which was the first time I used the rack on this car. It was fun being able to look up through the moonroof to check on the load! After I arrived home, I drove the car through the yard and parked next to the entryway to unload. I figured, just for kicks, I would try driving the car up the slope I traversed a month ago (before the snow fell). It was a little trickier this time, due to the ~6" of snow and slick conditions, but wouldn't you know it.... that car managed to make it through that ditch and up the hill!
