Leaf blowers

[Pheasant Surprise]

80Volts would give you a tingle in the wet ......

Moisture?? Now?? Where??

 

[ED.D]

Have a small dewalt blower that uses the drill batteries and a similar Milwaukee version that also uses the generic battery, both are used for blowing the baler down or the rake, mowers etc even used them for cleaning the radiators out when mowing! Have a larger husky cordless in the van on the pipeline job and they’re more than capable. At no point have I regretted Not going for a petrol.

I got the ryobi after we got block paving. Easier than getting big stihl backpack from farm work shop.
Gets plenty of jobs. Moss rolls off house roof everyday in this weather and needs blowing off patio.
Clearing after strimmer or hedge cutter.
Open car doors and blast it out.

Put extra bubble bath in kids bath. Then blast foam all over them . Fun but gets you in trouble with the wife.

Do not try blowing the cobwebs out of farmhouse ceilings with one, unless you like sleeping in the dog house. Clean ceilings but ancient dust everywhere else

Take cyclone off a dyson and blast it with a blower. Amazing how much filth blows out.

Brilliant! I’d give your post 2 likes if I could!

More like relationship counseling really, isn't it ..............

You'd never think a blower would be so disruptive to one household.

 

[chickens and wheat]

just got an ryobi cordless pole hedge cutter , wondering what mischief I can get up to with that

 

[tomlad]

I have a husky backpack blower on permanent loan from a mate
Very good
Only pain is wen u switch off by mistake drop to idle ... off bugger
Taking it off to start ...
Stihl ones dealer was showing me had electric start !!
That would be useful

 

[Mursal]

Ryobi backpack has an electric start as well, but to be honest once it starts we're happy.

 

[tomlad]

I think inards of my trigger is dodgy . Easy to idle -off . B#llocks
It isnt new tho .

I have a gravel drive and yard bounded all round by lawn or hedge. Think a blower would be good for clearing up grass and hedge trimmings after mowing, striking the edges or trimming the hedge. A rake only does so much no matter how long you spend at it. I already have a pair of makita batteries and some tools. Would also seriously consider their chainsaw if and when my old Husky expires.

the only reason I asked, is if you were going to use it for blowing off baler/combine/ grains store etc rather than leaves

What sort of money are these handheld leaf blowers, I'm contemplating purchasing one for the garden. Is battery power really enough? I was thinking two stroke personally.

No bother at all.

Mate got a chinezim backpack ebay few year ago
Surprisingly good tbf , but with owt cheep 'for the money '
110 130 ish delivered.
I nearly got similar then another mate lent me this husky.

Ryobi are approx £50 before battery, youd want a 4ah battery as a minimum to get round a combine.
1.3 ah batteries dont give quite the same airforce anyway

Yes, they do a couple and if you really want to go to town a 9Ah battery, but it also works with their other batteries.

Honda 56v cordless blower specs:

Air volume

• Low (m³/h) 420
• High (m³/h) 650
• TURBO (m³/h) 810

Air speed

• Low (mph : m/s) 44mph / 20 m/s
• High (mph : m/s) 74kmph 33 m/s
• TURBO (mph : m/s) 91mph 41 m/s

For comparison a 2-stroke handheld Stihl BG56CE pushes out air at 143mph / 64 m/s. So appreciably faster!

No idea on air output/volumes for the baby Stihl. Can’t find it published.

The Honda with 4Ah battery weighs about the same as the 2-stroke Stihl around 4.5kg.

Anyone found any better spec for a handheld battery blower?

Milwaukee above does 120mph

 

[Pheasant Surprise]

Milwaukee above does 120mph

Thanks. Just trying to get a measure of air volume out and speed if possible. The Milwaukees air output is 450cfm / 765m3/h, so a smidge less than the Honda at 810m3/h. Much better air speed from the Milwaukee though.

Ryobi are approx £50 before battery

What you could do with that .............
