I tend to agree about mowing first. In areas with lesser leaf volume that often is all that is required. The chopped leaves are very beneficial to the soil so you are retaining as much of that as possible for your grass. It also helps to keep the leaves from smothering the grass.
We use the turbine blower on our poultry farm Mostly for blowing out the ceilings and floors but it makes a handy leaf removal tool just be sure you don’t have it pointing down when you use it or you’ll lift the whole attachment off the ground
Thanks for stopping by! You shouldn't have trouble with pointing it straight down. There are even special fins designed to direct downward wind toward the front when pointed straight down. What is your weight transfer set to when you're running the Blower?
Have you considered getting the Ventrac turbine blower? I recently watched Ventrac’s side-by-side comparison between their turbine and the model you use. The turbine moves leaves so much more decisively! And further with each pass.
I like having these tools out in a more secluded area where I do not have to worry about some Karen bitc..bit..bi. b... fussing about the noise I make or how I blew away her pretty leaves. I hope you are so blessed too.
Happy veterans day from a fellow vet, all be it Air Force. I've been looking for a used Ventrac for a while here with no luck. Trying to start a business with one... But being a disabled vet, VA disability isn't much to work with. Do you know where I can possibly find "inexpensive" Ventrac attachments and or tractors? Thanks in advance and love the content.
Thanks, Aaron. I was just doing my job but I've been asked to talk more about my years in the Army on my channel. I don't know if I should. Anyway, Ventracs aren't cheap. Even used they're STILL not cheap. I would recommend using the Ventrac groups on Facebook to find used equipment. There are several group dedicated to this
