I bought the echo 9010 this Fall. It helped huge for Fall clean ups, but I will not be using it during lawn mowing season, much too heavy and bulky. I have the br 600 and 800 as well. The 600 is best for blowing off grass I find
From the perspective of your drone, it seems like the capacity of your loader is much smaller than the amount of leaves you’re picking up. I think if you get a larger capacity and larger suction hose you’ll cut the vacuuming time in half!
Blowing leaves is far less effective when they’re ‘plowed/pushed’ into the leaves. By blowing while walking backward, you clear the space where the leaves will be headed. By pushing the leaves, you pile them up faster crating an air current ‘curling effect’ that doesn’t move the leaves forward…rather upward. This is why the leaves take so long to move away from the pine tree…there’s no current over the top of the ground. The air gets pushed up. Spend more time clearing leaves walking backwards and…blow together, there’s a greater current/volume of air created when the blowers are used in tandem (One blower blows across the top of the leaves while the other guy blows into the mass of leaves). When the leaves aren’t moving horizontally and begin to curl, space needs to be created for the like to move to…you’ll find the leaves move freely and with volume.
How do you guys feel about this push towards battery equipment, I just read an article that leaf blowers are being banned altogether, I don't understand what these people are thinking when they pass these ridiculous laws,
I like the way you did this and agree with most everything you said. I have the BR800X and 8010 and am looking at adding either the RM 8560 or the Husqvarna version, the 580 MK III. They are about equal to the 8010 in force and have much nicer tubes to swing around. BTW- Are you a member on Lawnsite?
Tarps tarps tarps. Spend less time blowing piles around, get done faster, that raises your hourly. I love doing big jobs like this; my 8010 and my 9010 both knock serious amounts of leaves around. There is also _definitely_ a difference between the 8010 and 9010, and they both have the advantage over the 800.
@@mickmouse92 leaf plows ( or machines that have the front end for pushing without a plow ) are alright when you have multiple people skilkfully and cleanly pushing leaves in a wave forward. If it's a solo op or two or even three people, tarps can contain and pull a massive amount of leaves to the destination without leaving a messy trail behind. Not to mention it's cleaner in between obstacles, through gates, over landscape features like ivy or pachysandra....I like tarping so much, I might still use tarps even if I had a crew of five, six, plus working for me, instead of leaf plows.
A few outfits on youtubes use a combination of rakes and blowers ( for instance, It's HIS Turf, and to a lesser extent Spencer's ) ....I use blowers and my boots, like 95% of the time for my cleanups, even when I load up the tarps. Might be even more than that-- I rarely use a rake for leaf cleanups anymore.
Enjoyed the video Randy. You're right, Lots of leaves. Good job. Thanks
Stick together once you're moving the big pile towards the truck. Agree 💯% about echo tube. They have got to address that. Nice job!
Wow what a job that was. Great job you guys.
Definitely another solid job and very fun video to make.
Great video, tons of leaves
Great job!

I’ve been doing this for years and your spot on. Amazing how many people beat their heads against the wall doing it the hard way all day long.

Can you guys make a detailed video on your trailer setup?

A leaf plow is golden when moving piles toward the loader.

cant you thin it out with the mower instead of blowing piles with the back pack blower like that
80 per hr per man?
I use my blowers to feed debris loader as well

Smart ❤👊🏼
The pb9010 is a beast if the tube is to long for you the tube is sections take one out....
🍻
it's 25 yards for your trailer Size ruffley ok.
What didn’t you just push to the road and suck the front yard? Doesn’t look like a busy road
U had made this video frm top
Por que no cortan esos malditos arboles y ya se acaba el problema de basura
