I have a cheap homelite backpack blower. It does the job, but I'd like to buy another one. Something with a little more power and keep the homelite as a backup.
leaves are beginning to turn colour and I want to start signing jobs for yard clean-ups.
What kind of leaves are you blowing? I have an electric Toro & it blows them over to my neighbor's yard just fine .
I am on a small lot & those leaves have to be dry, as I blow them into a pile & then it vacuums them up for mulch. It is lite & quiet vs. the gas powered ones.
If you're doing yard clean up jobs, you want max speed for max profit. Just pick a nice Stihl backback blower. The bigger, the better. My 340 does great, but I mostly use it for blowing grass clippings with my lawncare business.
