Default I'd mention my new leaf blower, but...

......I wouldn't want to encourage any green-eyed monsters!

It is a blowing fool!

Of course, part of the deal is that I have to do the work myself and not
hire folks to do it for me. Oh well, that's life!

That's a nice one. Next one I buy is going to be a backpack one,
that's for sure. My current gas powered blower has about had the
cause!

Make sure you check the prevailing winds before you blow the leaves into
the neighbor's yard

The kid across the street who does lawn work just bought that one -
loves it. Because of my back problems, I had him clean up the lawn
this week and man that thing can move some leaves.

Back when we still had horsies, cows, sheep and stuff, I had one of
these.

http://www.trac-vac.com/index_files/Truckloader.htm

I had it mounted on steel frame which hooked up to the FAST three
point hitch on my Super M. I could clean out a stall in nothing flat
with that thing. Then, when leaf time came around, it was mounted on
my then Kubota lawn tractor - clean the lawn in nothing flat.

Gotta love lawn and garden equipment. :)

We pay a few dollars more in taxes and the county picks up our leaves three
times each fall. This year the first pickup was Nov 3rd, and hardly any
leaves had fallen. The next two days saw the oaks begin a rapid color
change, and now the leaves are coming down.

A lot of the commercial guys use this Echo, so I figured it would do a
pretty good job. It *is* a blowing fool.

Echo makes good gear, but I've never been over impressed with their
chain saws. I've gone through a couple and they never ran right -
constantly clogged filters, ran rough and not a lot of raw power.

I have a Solo 36" bar chain saw now that is unstoppable. It's a
Husqvarna clone made in Germany, but that thing will saw some wood.
Like freakin' butter. I've got two bars for it depending on what
needs cutting.

Can't use it for a while though - which is too bad, I've got a huge
oak that has core rot which I'd like to take down this Winter.

Oh well...

My chain saw never starts, and I'm too cheap to get it fixed. So, I do what
any homeowner should do - borrow my neighbors. This guy is a two stroke
freak with almost every yard tool made. And he's religious in their care.
My biggest oak, in the center of the back yard, has wood borers eating out
the core also. I had my trees under control when I could buy Lindane, but
that got taken off the shelves several years ago. The stuff smelled like
Double Bubble chewing gum, which is probably why it was such a danger to
kids.Now it's just watch and weep.
