Questions & Answers
There are no questions yet. Ask the first question.
It can blow a lot of air but poor design for use off pavement. This is my second leaf cleanup season with it. From my experience it is poorly designed for use off pavement.
On yard, soil, tree areas the 1″ wide solid rubber tires sink into the soil making it more difficult to push and pull. It does produce high CFM of air but only by an intake which is facing forward on the unit. So, it constantly sucks leaves to block air intake requiring constant removal. Perhaps intake at the rear or better yet a snorkel keeping it clear of the leaves blowing around?
Regarding the tires, perhaps balloon/terra type tires to help keep it from sinking into the ground? Next, it is 3-wheel which, on uneven ground, causes it to want to tip over. The front, 3rd wheel pivots, another front pivot wheel as some mowers have, wouldn’t hamper maneuverability and make it more stable.
Overall I would say, if your purpose is to clean solid surfaces of concrete, asphalt etc. it will do a good job. If for “off road” use on lawn or wooded area it’s a poor choice.
Would I purchase again knowing I may have motor issues, good question
I bought this a few years ago, don;t remember the price. Right out the box, I couldn’t get it started. Eventually I figured out the directions to push the primer bulb 10x to start didn’t work. I have to pump it 20x and then when it starts I need to keep pumping the primer bulb till it warms up a little. Once I figured that out, it runs fine.
