[@JDRTRM]

Nice machine ! I pile them deep and thick here in my yard lots of oaks trees , with acres and a marsh way out back . Then I grab the plow quad and push them out . When they get deep and heavy blowers don’t touch it . Works fast and easier for me .

Nice rig, I can see where it would be efficient on large properties

[@mirabify]

I was looking for better ways for leaf collection too and just realised this year that I can do exactly what your machine does with my Ferris Stander. But better cause it chops the leaves at the same time. I go back and forth till all the leaves are to one point of the yard. Then leave for city pick up or haul if I have to.

[@Fencearmor]

Wow, what a time saver! Nice video!

Got that right!

[@statestreetlandscaping6955]

Hello Jonquil, I found a cost effective solution that may not work best for you or anyone else, but it works best for me. For $5500, I bought a Turfco tow-behind blower and hitch it up to my 0-turn mower. The advantage is that I can mow AND blow at the same time. I saw how this was done on a golf course and I was talking to the groundskeeper and he said that was the way to go especially on those wide-open properties. Keep making that bank!

[@ROARINGLION11]

This thing kicks ass. Saw them in Turf Depot a couple of weeks ago. I want one. 30 minutes WOW ! That's $400 -600 bucks in 30 minutes depending on how you price it.

[@davidhorne2326]

[@jeffreyanderson1851]

David Horne would it work to pile the leaves up and then mulch them to remove the volume, then blow away the mulch?

[@davidhorne2326]

Jeffrey Anderson that would be better. Mulching works great, but it tends to pack down when it gets wet and will another out the grass.

[@roybdaman]

Nice, how about rigging up a leaf blade you can mount on the front of that blower and push those high piles. Use the power of the motor to move the piles of leaves THEN blow the remainder with the blowers. Lots less time the way I see it.

[@charlesmagicien207]

Brilliant idea

[@Sirenchaser-vt4lx]

My Street sweeper has those things

[@mtnpckr]

I’ve got a slightly smaller walk behind model, ordered thinking it was a rider. It works great but my yard is over 2 acres and very steep so I switched to using no a lawn service right after I got it. So it just sits in my outside bldg with my other unused equipment.

[@artemartem1134]

depending on where you are I'll buy it from you

[@IvanHernandez-kz5uq]

Amazing how much power it has.... that's like having 5 or 6 backpack blowers running together towards one spot..

couple quick tips. my first year with hurricane. slower you go pushes further. when leaves get built up to about 1-2ft, use mower to plow them to desired location.....- 18 years of back pack blowing. hurricane makes me smile. cleanups ive been doing for decades now have huge profits

[@jonquillawnlandscape8491]

Morgan Smith can’t see myself without it now. Game changer!

[@morgansmith3650]

its fun

[@Bryan-wq9vq]

What do you do with the leaves when you don't have a Woods next door to push him in

[@jasonslaughter2811]

Thats what you call year round service not bad do you bag them afterwards

[@artemartem1134]

you cleared that lot in approx a half hour - thats insane. People just want to shit on this for no reason. I've seen people shit on garden tractor mounted snowblowers too because they're too slow or don't throw snow far enough or whatever. They have no clue the effort it takes to move snow(or in this case leaves) and being able to do either while sitting down or standing still is a game changer.

[@henrytaylor69]

cool machine does great job getting them into pile but when do you pick them up.

[@TheDIYMoneySaver]

I can’t get over the hate for this machine. If it makes your job more productive and more importantly...fun then do it. That’s a tough business to be in, and anything to make it suck less; I’m in. Smart move if you have the scratch and lawns to justify it. I’m with you on this one.

[@jonquillawnlandscape8491]

The DIY Money Saver a lot of hate! People just don’t understand the long view on the value of this machine.. most are just closed minded people

[@TheDIYMoneySaver]

“Think about how dumb the average person is; half of them are dumber than that”-Carlin

[@GrimmReapa]

The thing would be better if you could adjust the blower height. Once they pile up it becomes hard to move them because it blows too low... or just never let them start to pile.

[@keithgentry9904]

JMO but the fellow with back pack might do better running a zero turn equipped with a leave plow. Once leaf pile becomes as big as a car it’s more effective just to push them if you have a wood line like you do here, then use blower to disperse them into woods.

Does that thing come with nozzles you can add to the chutes for more force into the leaves?

No. No extra force is necessary. This thing is a beast and will save a lot of walking!

[@DavidC1]

I think if you remove some of the restrictor plates in the front where the leaves get stuck and mess with the throttle cable to make sure you can actually run on true full power you can get a lot more power out of it.

[@Sirenchaser-vt4lx]

[@smartass6071]

When the leaves get piled up it works better if you get closer to the pile. It blows through the pile and pushes the pile faster.

[@stephenconcannon4124]

That’s insane! Worth the money if you have the customer base.

[@Henry.donath1]

I do agree with your concept. Less labor and more powerful equipment. You can own and pay off equipment, but you can’t own your employees

[@xlandscaper]

In my opinion that is an absolute waste of 10k. I use 2, 10hp little wonder ground blowers. At around a grand each they are a lot more cost effective and my productivity is way better. With a crew of 4 guys, 2 on backpacks and 2 on the ground blowers/rake my productivity way surpasses what you demonstrate in this video. That thing is heavy, cumbersome, and won't go where the other ground blowers can go. For the 8k In my opinion I'd rather spend it elsewhere, but to each his own.

[@jonquillawnlandscape8491]

Firefitindivr this unit is not for small yards. Yes it’s expensive but you have to think long term. I’d did this property full acre in 30 min. Very high production and very nice profits for just 2 guys. Saves huge on labor and it shows up on time everyday and gives 110% daily. Where are you located? You do a lot of leaves?

[@xlandscaper]

Jonquil lawn & landscape Yea i am in NY and do roughly 180 fall leaf cleanups annually with property sizes ranging from 1/4 acre to 10 acre estates along with larger commercial establishments. Once a mountain of leaves is formed we don't mess around, it's either tarp/push the pile or suck it up with the truck vac. We have lots of work and need to complete 5-6 cleanups daily to beat the snowfall. We too can bang out a wide open 1+acre job (depending on how dry) in less than an hour. Time is $ and 2 wheeled blowers preform great and I didn't spend a small fortune.

[@40ozheineken]

Yeah Little Wonder's are nice and after watching this I agree he wasted money. But if he's happy with his purchase, I guess that's all that matters in the end.

Gavin Black your machine simply can not go where regular ground blowers can go. 8500 cfm sitting on a trailer is the equivalent to 0cfm in my book

[@tjlomin1466]

The walk behind blowers get tougher to push each year I get older

[@mingogomez3752]

My question is how much do charge for a job that size??? If you had a previous price, did you lower it or keep it the same as last time without hurricane??

[@bmwhp4128]

Going too fast. Once the leaves were airborne you didnt let the CFM push them. Too much back and forth for no reason. Slower is sometimes faster.

[@jonquillawnlandscape8491]

BMW HP4 agree. Rookie mistake when I posted last year.

[@aguyandhiscomputer]

16:20 I found cutting small paths with a plastic rake as you blow stops it from making a wall and blowing back at you.
