3 PT mount leaf blower

[Tazbota]

Neal,
Great idea. I like the idea of building some type of blower, as it allows one to exercise their brain cells and save $$ at the same time. Thanks to everyone for the idea's, websites and feedback on this topic. I think it's time to brainstorm a blue print for a "Custom" blower.

Great idea and a tip of the hat to your ingenuity. What does the neighbor do with the leaves?/w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

Fortunately, my closest neighbor is about 1/4 mile each way from me but I sure do like it, since I have about 1500' of driveway to clean. Haven't tried it on leaves yet, but will do so this fall. I have seven 70' tall pecan trees in the yard.

Not sure about the ingenuity. About four years ago I saw where a farmer had rigged up a paddle blade blower on his tractor pto to blow out the feed troughs on his cattle operation. I liked it when I saw it, but took 4 more years to figure out I had everything I needed in the scrap pile to do the job. I believe that is a little on the slow side.

Theres a company RAD made in canada makes a 3pt debris blower/leaf blower, range 20 hp to 40 hp, not a bad looking unit, i think around 2,000.00. i saw 1 at the dealer i buy from here in connecticut. If your interested i'll give you his name or find out if theres more info on the on the company.

we have a blower at work made by Olathe. I don't know too much about it, other than we use it on a NH 3930 (45 PTO HP) and a Kubota L3250. We also have some walk behind blowers made by Lesco I believe.

Hope it is not too late to throw my two cents in! I saw another question about leaf equipment that reminded me of this thread and I will direct you to the same source:

I have seen the Giant Vac 3pt blower in action. It is second only to a typhoon for leaf removal.

Notice Neal's house (or garage, anyway) is mabe of brick. I s'pose the house made of straw, and the one made of sticks, would just get blown away, when he huffs n' puffs.

He's a smart little piggy.
