You like that blower?

Roy that tractor has been relocated to the farm up in Missouri, I got all I can do done here about 3 years ago. At the farm the boys needed it more than me, they care care of the place . I went and got me another tractor for the house and all it does is cut grass

Blower works great for blowing out the garage and driveway
Never blew leaves.

It puts out a lot of air 56 volt. Charger has a cooling fan and a lot of light indicators

The only reason I could see for myself to use a battery powered blower would be to blow the bees out of a super out in the field.

For 30 years I used a Toro back pack blower for leaves. It worked great. IIRC, it moved 210 cfm at 200 mph. It was a beast.

My EGO 56 volt blower does not have what it takes to blow a yard covered in leaves

That’s what I se a blower for mostly. Blow off the grass after mowing and the garage and barn, leaves I got one of leaf catcher thingys for the tractor

I have seen a blower used to blow the kitchen floor off onto the deck.

I have an attachment (extension tubes really) for my Stihl gas blower that blows out the eavestroughs. Very useful and better than climbing onto the roof or hanging from a ladder at my age. Have to do it when things are fairly dry or you get covered in gutter muck.

Thats a great idea. Now I am going to look up if they have 2 story extensions.

The only problem with an extra long extension is trying to hold the blower steady while that jet of air blows out of the end of a long plastic tube. It’s then that you appreciate the strength of the wind coming out of that blower.
