Walk Behind Leaf Blower 

I always believe "buy once, cry once". I have a 8hp Giant Vac that I bought in the early 80's...I only use it in the fall but it is still going strong 45 years later

I mulch my leaves with my mower. Great video

Thanks Very nice video and great ideas.

You are just moving leaves around, and the next slight breeze of wind they will be right back. You really need to suck them up and mulch them and then make a pile of them where the wind won't blow them all over the place again. The compost from the pile of leaves would be great in a garden.

Would not a push mower do the same thing? Even if you do not wish to mulch them the mower itself acts as a blower. I even use my rider as a blower sometimes.

I just noticed that you're blowing leaves over the area. You already cleaned period what are you thinking

Nice invention and modification to the blower......but......I think your backpack blower has a lot of advantages. It's more precise.. Using *far* less gasoline that an 8HP blower. As a modification, hook up a 3 inch flex hose with a taper to the blower (make it more like backpack blower) then drive tractor and get more accuracy with clearing leaves. Just my 2¢

For 7HP it's not blowing very well.

I bought one of these a few years ago and it was a disaster. The impeller flew off after a few hours of use. They sent me a replacement impeller that was "newly" engineered and spent half a day fixing it. Same thing happened. An impeller coming off at that speed is scary and it sounds like the world is coming to an end. I could not return it. Ended up taking it apart and using the engine on a leaf vacuum. Awful product.

You should have bought a blower for your tractor instead man

The fin is made of pot metal and it will enlarge at the keyway split in half and come apart. Risking your life period it only takes about 15 minutes pretty. What a total piece of trash period you'll die using this thing.
