Hurricane Blower Vs Toro Multi-Force Leaf Blower

[@jons2304]

I just purchased a used hurricane z3 this machine is a beast! I upgraded from a walk behind little wonder. Don't get me wrong I've owned the little wonder for over 10 years and it was a great and powerful machine. But nothing else compares to the hurricane. I feel like a kid on Christmas morning every time I use it.

[@ziggybrothers]

Awesome! I bought one new in 2015 and used it for 5 years then sold it and bought another new one. Keep up on your maintenance and it will be a life saver

[@phattygoodness7347]

Hurricane sucks. Their customer service is suspect and their hydros, as well as solenoids for the deflectors, fail regularly. When they work they work great...but that's the problem. Buy the Scag Windstorm. Much better. I have both and we rarely use the Hurricane anymore. It's too temperamental.

[@COC785]

The Toro is insane with the air volume. Being able to rotate the nozzle all the way up and down is the game changer.

[@ethanthelandscaper8919]

We have 2 x3's hurricanes, they are alright, we mostly use them for cleaning up places after we mow. They are ok in leaves. The two we have had are electric nightmares, with control boards going out and chutes not wanting to open. We like them because they fit on the trucks with all the equipment. We had an old scag turf tiger we striped down and mounted a Buffalo turbine to, that thing was a beast, the turbine is twice the size of the toro, right now we have it mounted to a skid that we put on our steiner tractor. Blows the x's we have out the the water. Thinking about taking it off the skid and mounting it to an old scag vride.

great info !!

[@GxxdGonzalo]

Thank you for the information because .it took me a while to understand which machine do you need for your company 🤩🤩🤩

[@RootedLawnCo]

This was a good comparison video. Looks a ton of fun running either machine! I like the versatility of the Toro.

[@ziggybrothers]

Thanks ! They are both a ton of fun to use I see myself using the Toro for lawn maintenance and with the mulch dump bucket for most of the year

[@NorthBoroughsLawnCareLLC]

This is a great video. I just purchased the little wonder. I love the force the Hurricane has and wouldn't mind adding that to my collection but it would definitely be overkill for the jobs I do in Suburb-hell.. lol. Again, great video.. (Not even going to talk about the Toro.)

[@JonsDailyHustle]

This was a great comparison, now I'm interested in the stand on blowers lol

[@srv3111]

Just finishing my second fall season on a Scag Windstorm Such a fantastic machine-37 hp vanguard -Forget those 3 doors to open and close on the hurricane 👎 the Toro is not even in the game-The nozzle direction system on the Scag is unbelievable - makes fall clean ups fun again!!!🍁

[@ziggybrothers]

Nice!!! I am running the toro next year for mowing and for the mulch dump bucket. I sold the leaf blower attachment for it already

[@richardrushton6635]

Seems to me the Toro might be underpowered But you can knock down a pile of leaves because of the adjustment of the snorkel when leaves a sticks get mixed in so there is no need to get off the Toro because you can blow off the top of pile of leaves I used a hurricane a Z3 and it blows at a low center of force and piles the leaves quick when you are cleaning a large property

[@anthonydalesandro145]

The pro Force gives you the ability to lift up your nozzle to not shoot mulch all over. Also parking lots the pro Force you can minimize dust. Yes the hurricane has more power, no it's not as agile.

[@mikesmith-ek1il]

You close down the shoots and idle the motor.

[@firstname6208]

Just purchased the fb1000, those big ones really didn't fit my biz or box truck. Sure better than a back pack alone. Even more versatile with the 8010. Saves at least 30 minutes minimum every parking lot. I am more concerned with the exhaust system. Seems the left cyl head is taking a lot more heat than necessary. Should have made a dual inlet muffler. Everything has tradeoffs. You learn to live with them, sometimes they let you go to the races.

[@jeremygordon4483]

It seemed to me like the Toro was moving the pile easier. But I do agree that the Hurricane has more power. But I still like the Toro better for overall volume of leaves being moved.

[@richscott2952]

I work at the mower shop and if you do not keep the Hydro area clean between the two rear wheels you will burn out the wheel motors , we need to change that oil often take the panel off and blow it out with a long stick metal blow gun ! hard to believe how many leaves gets back in there

[@ziggybrothers]

On the hurricane or toro?

[@jons2304]

I'm curious to know the details about this as well.

[@mikeskoczylas1571]

@@ziggybrothers the hurricane!! i have heard of many of them doing that as well.

[@martinrodman8272]

With the Toro you can plow snow,blow leaves,Dump mulch and cut grass. Toro all day.

[@mikesmith-ek1il]

Jack of all trades but master of none.

[@TheJuice401]

Is it worth getting a Toro multi with a blower attachment for 16 K New cash or buy a mower and Scagg windstorm separate for probably 20 K

[@Ramijojoba]

Question to the respected forum For agricultural purposes, to move seeds that are on the ground using a blower Which of the models tested is more suitable Thanks

[@Modelo646]

Don't know exactly but my best guess would be the Hurricane, because it has more power and can blow from front, right and left.

[@JsCrazyCutzLLC]

Great video 👍'ed video and subbed

[@ziggybrothers]

Thanks for watching !

[@CTSCAPER]

That Z3 is sweeet!

[@ziggybrothers]

Thanks! I love it

[@darrelmyer935]

I don't know if you can make it out in this picture, but there are 4 piles of snow that come nearly to the window of the truck. We had gotten 11 inches of snow in a day and a half. Snow Joe went through it.

[@Evergreenlandscapingandengine]

Awesome vid man, I love both of the machines I was curious if you could compare the toro to a new billy goat P2000 blower if you could get your hands on one

[@ziggybrothers]

Thanks man! Yes I’ve been seeing them on some landscaping crews in my area and I would love to give it a try It looks perfectly ideal for getting into smaller gates were the big hurricane blower can’t fit

[@Evergreenlandscapingandengine]

@@ziggybrothers absolutely, that’s part of why I mentioned that machine, looking forward to seeing a vid in the future if you can get your hands one one 💪

[@xzibit8614]

What are your throughts on the z3 vs Ferris fb3000?

[@ziggybrothers]

It’s the same identical machine just with different colors/ stickers and logos

[@xzibit8614]

@@ziggybrothers ahhh. I saw the z3 spec’d at 8500 CFM and the fb3000 spec’d at 7500 CFM so I was confused

[@preciselandscaping1732]

Nice setup

[@ziggybrothers]

Thanks!

[@vinceschannel8927]

Nice video!

[@jackeisenhardt91]

I have heard that on the hurricane you only get max cfm out of one of the three chutes being the one on the right side. is this true or no?

[@ziggybrothers]

The middle chute has the least amount of power and I use it primarily for driveways The left side can adjust to any setting you want . For example. I’ll have it more shut in the spring time to do spring cleanups . There is also a pin you can hook up to keep the airflow all the way open and have a baffle in the halfway position at all times. Or the right side which is either opened or closed. Has a ton of power that way too but it’s open full

[@chrisgiguere2261]

I would definitely agree w that but it's really no big deal just flip it around

[@benjaminleslie3155]

but what about the scag windstorm?!

[@ziggybrothers]

I demoed it a year ago And 100 percent does not come close to the hurricane blower

[@richscott2952]

It’s a fine unit , the one plus side as you can pull it into the trailer without the blower running so it doesn’t put dirt in the air inside the trailer and super scag reliable The upside to the hurricane is you can get a leaf plow on it ,blow plow blow

[@tompc54]

@@ziggybrothers big ups

[@genarolechuga4019]

How much that cost?

[@NHWilderness]

A bungee cord on the toro at the base of the handles pulls them 2gether and it won’t shut off

[@douglaslawncare2843]

Hurricane or scag windstorm?

[@ziggybrothers]

Scag windstorm. We were originally on the hurricane train but we bought a scag to parallel our hurricane and we never went back. Now we sold the hurricane last season and bought another scag

[@douglaslawncare2843]

Thank you! I was leaning Hurricane at first but looking at both units at the dealer the scag seems like the better choice. Thank you again!

[@rontopping2048]

Briggs and Stratton purchased hurricane company. Which is also Billy goat company

[@kyoss13]

I hate the Z3. We have a Z3, an X3 and a Scag Windstorm. The Scag is far superior and it’s not even close. The Z3 having the impeller directly off the motor is the only positive in my opinion. The electric brake goes and the actuators always have issues. Too many electrical and moving parts.

[@Bdigital9482]

I wonder how the z3 compared to scag’s windstorm would be.

[@ziggybrothers]

I demoed the windstorm last year and compared to to the hurricane they both have their pros and cons but power wise the hurricane wins

[@garyp1930]

larger tube on toro more volume but less mph

[@rontopping2048]

We own the hurricane x3 and Toro grandstand multi force. I don't believe we will purchase the blower for Toro. Hurricane is better for tighter areas and will blow leaves in park with no operator, jumps curbs better

[@chrisgiguere2261]

If u can't use the Toro like a Deadman then it's no good for me that's for sure n I have a hurricane z3 n like somebody else said the hurricane is an absolute beast

[@johnschauder]

Only 2 years ago the Multifirce was $10K…now it’s about $15k

[@farmerbrown3768]

Thanks! I was wondering what price point was.

[@michaelhoffman1951]

not a fair comparison! the blower is designed to do one job but the Toro can do multi jobs. 35 hp vs 26hp , not right.

[@ziggybrothers]

Thanks for your feedback!

[@Jszul2318]

It is a fair comparison, I'm debating both of these and I'm comparing them as we speak. Good video.

[@tompc54]

please

[@MrDaniel3105]

You can leave the toro run and get off of it with all the Saftey in place

[@thomasguerrero7289]

😖😳

[@ChadHitson]

That’s like comparing a big block to a small block !! Not a good comparison. Put the hurricane up against the scag and do a review

[@ziggybrothers]

check out our channel . we did a review of scag vs hurricane a couple years back

[@DT-ge8gd]

Disagree with your choice. Not accurate. Lot of physics involved here... that is weighted towards the Hurricane. Without going into explanations of everything, when you have the exhaust nozzle that close to the ground, and blowing almost level to the ground... you get a far greater force on ANY object laying in front. (as apposed to blowing at a downward angle to start with...) And the leaf blowing part I feel they were both equal anyway. The TORO is a far better and more useful machine.

[@ziggybrothers]

thanks for your feedback!
