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
well, I did a cheaper version of a walk behind blower, took my Stihl hand held blower and tied it down on my dolly, now just pushing and pulling dolly accross the yard. Works like charm.
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.
The DR Walk behind blower makes it to where you DO NOT NEED TO WALK BACKWARDS AND DRAG IT IN ONE DIRECTION the DR BLOWER CHANGES DIRECTION AND HAS 180 DEGRESS air flow at up to 200 mph. Left, right or anywhere in between. It also has vertical air flow up to 50 degrees. I'm getting the self-propelled model with electric start. The brake system is an accessory, but I plan on getting that as well, so I don't go running down a hill to catch the blower. This will be our third DR piece of equipment we will be buying. We have a chipper that does up to 4-inch branches/small trees, and two DR trimmers, one has the beaver blade on it and the other has just string. Both are self-propelled and both have electric starts. All of our lawn equipment gets NON-ETHONAL gas, (93). We also own two Toro "commercial grade" walk behind lawn mowers and I bought a 2002 John Deere Gator for my husband, he loves it, takes the chipper around the yard and holds all his equipment in the back. I am 66 years old, and my husband is 69 years old, and we bought three lots and put them together to make about 2 acres. He's retired now, and we do all our yard work except for the BIG old hard wood trees. I don't care what you say about DR, as long as you keep up with your equipment and put non-ethanol gas in them and know how to work on engines, things like that, you'll have no problems. I will spend $2,000.00 on a blower that doesn't make me pull it backwards. I don't buy cheap; you get what you pay for...I've had everything for about six years now. It's all about up keep.
Sounds like a good testimonial for DR equipment. I’ve heard it’s a good company. I solved the problem of pushing my leaf blower. I mounted it to the rear of my garden tractor which was my intention all along. I’ve included a link to my video about it and I’ve got another one on the way.

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¢
Even though it's not a billy goat I would say Props To him for having Creativity that's pretty good as long as he just keep doing his property and not try to do other properties to start a business with
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.
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.
That's a great idea- simple, cheap and flexible. I have a lot of fire breaks to keep clear and this will do it. Thanks!
Thanks for checking it out

That’s impressive still going after all those years. Thanks for watching
I mulch my leaves with my mower.
Great video

Good thinking. Thanks for watching
Thanks Very nice video and great ideas.

I move my leaves around every fall and have no problem with them coming back in the yard lol.

Where is the walk behind part?
For 7HP it's not blowing very well.
I just noticed that you're blowing leaves over the area. You already cleaned period what are you thinking

Not a bad idea. Thanks for watching

Yeah I read some of those comments but I took a chance. About 25 hrs on it and so far so good. Thanks for watching
You should have bought a blower for your tractor instead man
