Hi all,
I am getting ready for some fall cleanup, particularly leaf collection. Due to my back issues and a recent bout of pneumonia, I am severely physically compromised. My recent hospitalization has all but ruled out all but the cheapest of options. I have been looking at leaf blowers (not the handheld type) and especially something like a truck loader. From what I can find on the internet, all of these type of options cost thousands that I do not have. I do own a troy-built hand held blower-vac that I thought of converting into a poor man's truck loader, but I wonder what others might have in mind.
I do have some lengths of 4" black piping that might be slit enough to fit the suction end of the blower but I know that it will not be a nice sealed fit. I don't know if this will be an issue, but I would appreciate any input.
