Super Blower

Maybe sometime in the future as there isn't much to try it on now. And then I have to figure out how to upload a video!!!

I wished I'd have seen this last fall. There was an old blower in a pile of junk behind the barn from previous owners that I sent to scrap. A great idea if nothing more than "just 'cause I can"

Nice build

I built one of these 2 years ago. Mine is 540. I think I'm gonna look for a bigger tractor or install a gear box to speed it up a bit mine works but doesn't blow as hard as it should. But I need to figure out how much faster I can go before it becomes a negative air.

Add a smaller fan to the opening to help feed the ambient air into the blower? Kind of like compound turbos on a diesel. Could be either belt drive off the PTO or possibly 12v - ford Taurus fans move lots of air.

Great Idea. I'll keep that in mind!!!! My friend owns a salvage yard. I'll tell him to find me one. Any specific year??

Mid 90s if memory serves. I'll have to dig thru my notes to confirm

Tried out the blower today and it works great. What used to take me 2 hours raking now takes me about 20 minutes using the "Super Blower". It will blow leaves 50+ ft. I blew them into a large pile and then hauled them away. I use engine speed to control the distance I want to blow the leaves. It is kinda fun to use.
