Jpeg lawn maintenance
Little wonder 8hp
you havent heard of any problems with the brig? and ya it looks new. it was my buddy he had a landscaping biz but he had some things happen and had to sell everytyhing so he told me 300 for the blower. has not run in 2 years tho.
Yeah I have one of those over-rated pieces of junk, in many cases the pioneer manufacturer of a device
is usually also the leader, so we can safely say that Xerox is to copy machines what Bobcat is to skid steer loaders,
but that is not the case with the Little Wonder, many companies out there make a far better blower,
a "little" Wonder is exactly that, they are over-rated junk in my opinion.
Considering mine runs and I only paid $200 for it I'm not too upset but I would never pay
no $300 for no puny 8 horse Briggs-powered blower that doesn't even run.

Oh....
That's come some ways in fixing the problem...
You see that front tire, yours is a lot wider than that 80's model,
also the bracket holding it is far sturdier...
The older ones the skinny tire isn't wide enough to keep the unit from digging down and tearing up turf,
so the only way to get it to work right is by pulling it...
And the bracket's way too flimsy on the older units as well, the chute isn't adjustable
any which way but by stopping and making manual corrections and there were a few other things...
But I think for $300 that's a tolerable expense for the condition that unit appears to be in, that's not a bad deal considering
they sell new for $800-$1000 or so... Now depending how it holds up and how you end up liking it you might end up saying
it was a pretty sweet deal but I'll let you decide, either way it's certainly not a rip.
There is no way I could disagree any more. Not about your experience with your $200 unit, but about the LW's in general. I own one I've had for years, and it's been a great unit, and there are just farrr too many others on here and whom I know that own them - problem free and performing well. The one here for 300 bucks...Great buy.
Listen man, you got a great deal. Little Wonder is a quality brand. I own a lot of different LW stuff and I'm extremelt happy with all of it. Tony
Thank you guys i am going to buy it this week i will take money and pay him i cleaned it up and i am happy with it it starts first pull now. Thanks for the replies.
What? You didn't buy it yet? I changed my mind, it's a bad buy. What's his number by the way? he he he
You don't want that old thing. Even with the improved wheels and brackets how long can you expect it to last based on mine? 200, 300 years? And apparently I've been using mine wrong. I'm not tearing up any grass with it regardless of which way I push it.
I did not know there was a kit for it do you know what they run ?
I am buying it this week it is in my garage right now.
Yep getting it this week.
Bought mine about 3 years ago and really don't remember, I want to say somewhere around $140-160 tho...?? Product number 9050 http://littlewonder.com/lw-blowers-optimax.asp#swivelkit :drinkup:
