well, new to me.... I've been waiting for a decent used blower to show up locally, and one did.
I added the front hitch and wheel kit, and it works quite nicely. It became much more stable when I put a five pound weight on the rear. One has to think about where one is going and not get too close to mulched areas. Frankly I'd like a remote for the throttle so I could go to idle when needed.

Boy, it sure beats walking. And it did a really nice job on the very long paved driveway I tried it out on. Blew leaves, twigs, acorns, rocks, just about everything went flying. Definitely not a machine to use in suburbia... hmmmm, that was a nice picture window:ashamed:

Nice job. I have a similar leafblower that I used to tow around attached to the sulky on my Gravely Professional 16 walkbehind.

Although, I think you really need a Gravely sweeper attachment. ;)

That looks like fun. I wonder of you could buy a 10' (or so) throttle cable, zip tie it to the hitch, run it under the seat and attach the handle to the fender in a way it would be easy to remove should you need to separate the blower from the mower?

I bet you could really stoke a brush fire with that thing!
