    Has anyone seen the new Billy Goat blowers with a 16 H.P. I heard they go for about $3,000. Does anyone have one?

    I have a 9 hp Honda Little Wonder. Super power, I don't see much need for any more power, and we have some huge leaf cleanup jobs here in Virginia.

    The Billy Goat is self propelled.<p>Sure, the Little Wonder 9 & 13hp are the best, most powerful in their class, but pushing and pulling them around is fatigue inducing.<p>I would be inclined to get a 13hp Little Wonder and mount it on a &quot;Blower Buggy&quot; from JRCO.<p>Use the blower to blow and your mower to propel it.

    Lazer, that is exactly what I plan on doing with my 9Hp L wonder this year. I have plans on doing some &quot;stone type&quot; modifications to make my own to put on the front of my ZTR.

    Forget about picking up leaves.<p>Just buy a set of mower blades.<p>http://www.shreditblades.com/

    Stone, Have you used the shredit mower blades? If so how well do they work? And are they worth the $50 (each) price tag?<p><br>
