I looked through my pics and this is what I could find tonight. Our Maintenance crew foreman may have some better ones with it in action.

Basically, It's a 16HP Giantvac (soon to be upgraded) on a homemade box. The box is made from 2" angle and sheathed with plywood. We use it in the summer months as well to vaccum grass clippings. The rear has split swinging doors with a tractor trailer type latch. There is no bottom (saves weight), and can be taken off in a hurry if need be (we hang it from a frame like our vee-boxes).

Here's another shot. It holds about 12 cu.yds. when full.....and the vaccum really packs it in.

We also have a LESCO 16 HP truck loader mounted on our other maintenance trailer. The good part about this is you can fill multiple trucks without a lot of downtime. We sold the truck in the pic, but we kept the slide in dump (it's in a k3500 srw now). We have a box that goes right on the dumpbody, and also use a k3500 with a rack body to blow into.

vacuum system looks great .I too have a vacuum 13hp billy goat truck loader. I will be putting it on a trailor next season, as I find it leaves me no place for blowers ,fuel etc. took a parcial load to the dump the other day and the weight was 17780 lbs
how do you like your walker mower for leaves? does the hopper fill up to fast or does it mulch them well? should I go with the 20 or 25 hp? liquid or efi? how is the maintenance on it thanks craig
