    I love the analogy of trigger control of the blower with trigger control of drawing and shooting a pistol. That was some good draw form, Pete! Love it.

    Is it weird that watching leaf removal is soothing to me? I get the same feeling from watching grass being mowed. God bless you Pete.

    Everyone should link up Team Jaxx unless you are passionate about another charity. I have been doing it for a few months now and have generated about $5.00. They don't donate a lot so if we all join together this will add up quickly. I trust Pete and his family to help others with the money generated from this.

    Pete you're missing out on a good opportunity of leaf mold for your garden. Mow the leaves down and pile it up in your garden area to breakdown. Really good compost for your garden soil.

  • @paulscott6998
    @paulscott6998 4 роки тому +1

    Was just wondering Pete if you could blow some or all of those leaves into your garden in the fall and mix in some grass clippings and kitchen scraps to make some great soil? Might mulch them all together to make it decompose even faster?

    So I have a question for you my friend. This is my 1st time watching one of your videos. I would like to know what is the Backpack Blower that you are using, and what is the Attachment. A lot of bloggers will have a link in the description to the equipment they are using. But if you can just let me know, I definitely would appreciate it! I need to purchase the proper tools to do the job, and your advice on how to do it was Excellent!!

    Hey Pete, wouldn't be easier to gather the leaves up onto a tarp after you got them out of the beds and drag the tarp to the woods instead of blowing a big pile for a quarter of mile? Of course, that big ole blower does look fun. 😃

  • @marchoffman5307

    Hey Pete... Wish I had twice the yard I currently have so I could buy some of the cool tools you get to play with. I was thinking you were going to backpack blow those leaves a 1/4 mile to the woods out back then realized you have that ride on. Loved the "Over Under Double Barrel" shot back into the camera!!

    I know this is older video but that Echo looked like it was working good but that big one now that is a blower!! I got to get a good blower. I think all the leaves from a 10 block area come to my back yard. I'm not joking well a little but if I don't go out and blow them every so often they would be over knee high easy. I just have a little hand held blower and it takes forever and never get it cleaned out real good but it is 500 plus CFM and most of the back back blowers don't seem to be much more till you get to the top end of the line. One guy told me CFM is CFM and if you get a back pack blower with 500 CFM it will not work any better then the one I have. Is that true or is there more to it with the back pack blowers that make them much better before I go out and spend $500 plus on a blower. Anyone that knows thank you!

      @albuquerquegroundsmaintena3818 4 роки тому

      Hahahaha. Fair enough. Here in Albuquerque we have quite a few properties that have many huge cottonwoods amoungst other trees and for us, it's easier and alot quicker for us to just mulch the leaves into lawn. Otherwise my guys would be at each property for HOURS on end and would never finish their routs for the day.
