Wheel Barrow Leafrack
You can move a lot of leaves with this "leafrack" Larry Brown made a few years ago to put on a garden size wheel barrow.
"You fill the leafrack by tipping it for-ward and scooping up the leaves," Brown says. "We can really haul a lot of leaves in it."

Wheel Barrow Leafrack FARM HOME Miscellaneous 18-6-40 You can move a lot of leaves with this "leafrack" Larry Brown made a few years ago to put on a garden size wheel barrow.
"You fill the leafrack by tipping it for-ward and scooping up the leaves," Brown says. "We can really haul a lot of leaves in it."
Brown made a frame for the leafrack out of short pieces of tubing, which bolts to the side of the wheel barrow so it sticks out approximately 1/2-in. past the lip. Stakes made out of lightweight tubing fit into the wheel barrow corners.
To make a cage, Brown wove chicken wire around the stakes and extended the wire about 3 in. down inside the wheel barrow. He made a door, which can be opened from the right or left, out of tubing for the front of the rack. It fastens with 4-in. spikes.
For improved flotation and stability, Brown mounted Brown a wide flat wheel from an old combine header on the front of the wheel barrow.
