Leaves are Falling

I'll say this much - we get a lot of leaves and having to do multiple properties (between family members, inlaws, rentals etc.) this Backpack Blower I just got a few months back is amazing! Had the BR600 previously before it was stolen.
With the 800, I can literally can do several yards in one day easy and will blow logs, sticks, pine needles and any other debris across the yard if needed. Also use it to blow the moss right off the top of the soil in some areas when I focus it a bit more.

Hard to find these days - but if you are looking for a solid leaf blower, would suggest taking a serious look at Stihl's 800 CE Magnum. Best part is you can stop and start it back up without having to take it off your back.

Most will think I'm crazy. The ones that won't are clearly the ones who use a backpack blower

Nonetheless - I'm still left with the job of having to remove the leaves. For a few of the properties, I just pay a small and worthwhile fee for our landscaper to bring over his vacuum and suck away the piles while the other properties get 'tarped away' into the woods.

I'm still eyeing and mulling over buying a 'leaf vacuum' (actually called a debris loader - https://www.billygoat.com/na/en_us/p...html):liplick: to put on a dump trailer - just trying to make the financial justification in my head...
