Nice job. Looks like you'll be back 1 or 2 more times before its all said and done. Thos trees were still nicely loaded.

Looking good. Wish all my lawns were that flat. Gets real tiring pushing the little wonder up hills all day.

Question about those blowers... Whats the point of them if they only blow one way? It seems like a BP blower would get the job done 10x quicker.

You want the leaves OUT of the beds not in them

One man and a little wonder on a large open lawn can make extremely quick work of leaves. No backpack can compare to a little wonder blower with a decent sized engine on a wide open lawn. once you use one you use one you will understand.

Thats probably why I didn't know. They just seemed like slow and painstaking.

I didn't know. I had never used one before, so I don't really think that mine was stupid.

Just don't cross the line of fire cuz those little rigs got some real wind power.

Looks good, efficient setup.
We've got lots of leaves dropping early this year, gonna kind of split our cleanups in half. Done a bunch already of the early droppers, but the silver and norway maples, and oaks still have most of their leaves. Hopefully we'll get 'em all, got rain and snow in the forcast for the next 5 days.

Hahahahaha I'm sure it could blow me away. If you had a few of them you could have an indoor skydiving place of your own

Ya, but I have a customer this year that wants all the leaves in her beds, not just a light spreaded layer she wants them piled in the beds!

Thats why i asked i knew some people like them in beds.. And reason i asked other questions one his pics hes in very far corner looks like blowing into hay or weed of some sort, maybe im wrong.. And just cause you have the big truck with the vac doesnt mean he has to use it on every lawn some customers want diffrent things, Thats why i asked :)

Looks good Dstosh.

I would have just mulched them though. Is the customer paying for multiple suck jobs? I'd be on that place weekly to mow, and adding ~$20 for leaf mulching. Lap mow blowing in till there is a nice windrow, then back over the windrow with OCDC down, disperse, and if I'm feeling nice, I'll quick stripe the lawn afterwards. Now, if they waited till all the leaves drop, then yeah....you need the blower and sucker.

Because the push blowers blow 10 X more leaves than a backpack.

I witnessed someone that stepped in front of my 11 HP Little Wonder windstream and was blown off balance and fell into some bushes!

Those pictures are two different job sites. The first set of pics are from a house where we just blew the leaves off the lawn into the field next door. I actually didnt even have the leaf loader and dump truck on that site. (It wasnt even ready yet) We then ran the mower over the lawn to get rest of the leaves and tidy the lawn up a bit.

I told that customer that their clean up would be arround $100-$120. For that particular day I got $25 for the lawn and then $25 for the clean up, and it took less than 45 minutes. We usually run the mower over the lawn, If I have to weed wack, I charge for mowing.

Thanks for the comments, I will have more pics up soon.

Who needs a leaf Plow?



This also went by when we were working, I can only imagine that it is parts to a wind mill? One of the other parts went by and It had two police escorts.

Few More. We like using the little wonder for big open areas and then the back packs for in tight arround trees and flowerbeds etc.

It would be nice to have this weather in three weeks when 98% of the leaves are down.
I'm sure i'll be cleaning up with rain,snow, and blowing winds.
