3 pt. leaf blower

[sandman2234]

Something to consider before this project hits the fab bench, is the air intake. I have a pto blower for my Steiner 525 and it has a slotted area all the way around for air intake. If I am blowing in heavy leaves, I tend to suck up some of the leaves on the bottom side of the intake, thereby restricting my air intake. It requires me to stop the blower for a second, which releases the leaves by gravity. Mine still works fine even with the restricted air flow, but it is something a good design would have considered. Blowing off parking lots makes this a waste of typing, as it only comes into effect when I am blowing large amounts of leaves across the yard (read as a foot thick, etc)
