Hi
Just wanted to share my mod I did to make a cheap Debris blower when hedge cutting the roadside. It worked really well. In fact better than the contractors blower that we have used before.

-second hand mcculloch blower
-plastic drain pipe and heat gun shape it.
Total cost £120

I put this on the blower on the front right step with the control up in the cab. The duct then ran under tractor to the rear and is bent and shaped on the end. 5 litre can of fuel lasted all day.

I can't be the only one thinking that if you combined the quick-likely blower modification and the quick-likely oil cooler you could make a heck of a flame thrower?

I got plenty of funny looks from passing tractors and 4x4s. Wondering why my tractor sound like a mix between a air raid siren and a scooter.... But I have had positive remarks how there was nothing left on the road.... I still hate every motorist when I do hedge cutting
