ABSTRACT:
A grass and leaf collector and compactor attachment for lawn mowers consisting of a chute adapted to be mounted at the side of a mower hood to receive mower cuttings ejected from the hood in the lower end thereof, and chute angling upwardly into a hopper also adapted to be mounted on the mower, and one or more paddle bars extending generally longitudinally through the chute and having paddles secured transversely thereto at intervals along their lengths. The paddle bars are driven in vertical orbital paths by suitable connection to a ground-engaging drive wheel of the mower, so as to impel cuttings received in the lower end of the chute upwardly through the chute into the hopper. The hopper is at a sufficient elevation above ground level that its contents may be dumped by dropping the floor thereof.
