The Monster Leaf Bag is an accessory for riding mowers. It replaces the 2 or 3 grass bins already available on most ride-on mowers and greatly increases the capacity of leaves that can be collected in a single load. To keep costs low, it does not include the grass catcher bins or chute assembly. It is compatible with Sears Craftsman, John Deere, Toro, Husqvarna, MTD, Scott and most other riding mowers and garden tractors. This product is an alternative to raking, leaf blowers or yard vacuums. Leaves are chopped into mulch and are ready for the compost pile. If you bag leaves, mulching reduces the number of paper recycling bags needed.   It is ideal for the homeowner doing fall cleanup or yard care in the lawn or garden. Keep your landscape beautiful and enjoy the following benefits:

  • Hundreds of satisfied customers.

  • Designed for years of use.

  • Made of extra heavy duty, rip & wear resistant 8 mil thick woven poly material.

  • Clear huge areas of leaves before stopping to unload.

  • Up to 10 times faster than raking.

  • Easy to install - just 2 minutes or less.

  • Folds small for compact storage.

  • Mulching reduces leaf volume up to 50% for composting or bagging.

  • Replaces the two or three grass bins on most yard tractors.

  • Collect up to 5 times more volume of leaves than grass bins.

The Story…

In the fall of 2001, I was collecting leaves with my ride-on mower in Bedford, MA. My home has about a half acre of lawn and a half dozen mature oak and maple trees. Collecting leaves with my ride-on mower was a familiar but frustrating task, because the two grass bins filled up so fast! Every hundred feet or so, the bins would be full yet again, so I’d drive to the unload spot, stop the mower, empty the bins, and restart the process a total of 20 times to complete the yard. Each time repeated a cycle of stopping and restarting the engine. And, each time my frustration further increased because the bins were mostly full of air, and actually produced only an insignificant pile of leaves. I tried raking, but this was even harder work and took more time. I considered a vacuum trailer machine or a lawn service, but both were expensive. Also, the vacuum trailer is an infrequently used, hard to store item. I knew that there had to be a better way.

What if my mower had a monster sized bag instead of the two small bins? A bag that could hold up to five times the volume would mean that I’d have to unload only four or five times instead of twenty times. That would be an excellent solution, as every extra trip unloading bins is wasted time. Having a knack for design, I knew that I could make it easy and fast to use. Leaves are light, so a large bag could be handled by the average homeowner. I’d design it to fold up into a small package, since it would only be used a few times each year. Inspired, I made my first prototype. It worked, but needed improvement. One year and a few prototypes later, the Monster Leaf Bag was working so well that my friends and neighbors asked to buy one for their yard.

Because of the excitement, and the positive feedback I received from all who used it, I decided to transform the Monster Leaf Bag into a commercial product. I continued making improvements, and in April 2003 I received a US Patent. I then spent three years exploring a wide variety of options for getting this product manufactured. It was a challenge finding a vendor who could provide the high quality and affordability that I wanted, but I was successful. Now, after signing a contract, spending more money than I could afford, and waiting an additional four months for manufacturing and shipping, I had my first supply of Monster Leaf Bags available for sale.

Due to increasing popularity, I have been reordering each year to provide homeowners with an affordable solution that is practical, simple to use, and easy to store for one of life’s vexing chores: the annual removal of leaves from your lawn. Please let me know how the Monster Leaf Bag works for you.
