Best John Deere Attachments for Fall - Leaf Removal

The fall weather often brings a sense of calm and a feeling that things are starting to slow down. However, homeowners with trees will know that sometimes the work is just getting started. Leaves can quickly cover your entire lawn and create hours of unwanted cleanup work. Fortunately, those with John Deere home equipment can find a wide range of fall leaf removal attachments that make the job faster, easier, and more efficient. From mower baggers to leaf blowers, you’ll have plenty of options to get your lawn looking pristine again. Today, the experts at James River Equipment will discuss some of our favorite leaf removal attachments and discuss the types of John Deere equipment that work best with them. 

John Deere Bagger Attachments

One of the most common attachments for fall leaf removal is the John Deere mower bagger. This attachment goes directly on your John Deere mower, allowing you to collect leaves and other debris as you mow. Available as a two-bag bagger for most residential equipment and a 3-bag bagger for commercial use, this attachment can collect and store large volumes of mulched leaves. Their easy attachment and re-attach design makes going through multiple bags a breeze. With a John Deere bagger, you’ll spend less time raking and more time enjoying a clean, well-kept lawn.

John Deere Leaf Collection Systems

For those with large lawns or needing a sturdier attachment to get the job done, you can opt for a John Deere collection system. These sturdy attachments can handle everything from fallen leaves to pine needles with their PTO-driven high-powered blower and 20-bu hopper. With its electronic dump-from-seat function, you can empty the hopper without even needing to get out of your seat. This heavy-duty attachment is compatible with both John Deere tractors and mowers, making it the perfect choice for homeowners with big yards or commercial landscaping jobs. 

John Deere Leaf Blower Attachments

Sometimes, the most practical solution to clearing leaves is to blow them into neat piles before collection. John Deere leaf blowers offer ample power to clear large amounts of fallen leaves quickly. Leaf blowers work fantastically in combination with baggers and collection systems, as they allow you to isolate the leaves to one area before you bag them. From driveways to large lawns, the leaf blower’s powerful airflow can save you hours compared to traditional handheld or backpack blowers. This makes the John Deere leaf blower attachment an excellent choice for homeowners with larger yards or properties that experience large amounts of fallen leaves, ensuring quicker cleanup with less effort.
