So glad to see someone else has the need, desire, passion to clean up leaves. My neighbors think im crazy but boy my yatd and driveway sure looks good when done! Wish Santa drops off one of Buffalo Turbines under my Xmas tree. Great video as always. Thanks Autumn & Doug!
I just randomly discovered this machine on reddit today, and decided to find some videos of it. The ones the actual company released are terrible. 30-second video clips with no sound or information; your video is so much better. This thing is pretty cool. I'd love to see it do snow removal in this longer video format.
OK, I thought when you unloaded your old blower and said you wanted this ride-a-long that you were just being a spoiled brat wanting a new toy (I know I would). Maybe that's a part of it but in all honesty you were spot on with your expectations of this ride-a-long. That thing rocks and when you have as much area as you have it's really an essential piece of equipment if you want to get the job done in a reasonable amount of time. Good purchase, Doug!
Easiest question Doug ever answered in his life: “Would you like that in the 26 or the 40 HP model?” Makes me wish I had more property just so I could get one!
Great video. I was considering a billygoat until watching your video. I was not aware the buffalo turbine had a ride on. If you have a chance, I asked a few direct questions on your Instagram page.
17 THOUSAND 😂😂😂😂 that’s over twice the price of a brand new fully loaded exmark with all the bells and whistles, warranty, insurance and extra blades/batteries. Holy crap
Hell for 17,000 I can buy a few backpack blowers and pay the neighborhood kids to blow leaves for about 5 years 😂. Shit, I could a hire an actual landscaper to do it at that point lol
After manually raking for 4 hours yesterday, this is a dream. Not a big enough property for this to make sense$$$, but cleaning the yard up in 30 minutes sure looks good 👍
That looks like a great blower and like so much fun! Congratulations Doug! I love blowing leaves too but I just have a Stihl BR800C and an Echo PB8010T for my small city lot with large trees.
Doug, you have more toys than anybody I know. The interesting thing is that you really know how to use them well. I saw the one that you sold to Mike Morgan but boy this is a lot better. Anyway, stay safe healthy and warm. Bill H from Cranberry Township
Good Afternoon Doug, that was an excellent boots on the ground demonstration episode, of course you added a little Dougification Factor in with the modification, well done. Now that will answer the question of “ How Many Leaves Could Doug Blow, If Doug Could Blow Leaves”, your Property is Beautiful and I can definitely see the savings in the labour and the final WOW Factor. I would venture to guess it would blow an applicable amount of snow off the driveway in the winter also. 😀👍👍👍
That is killer Doug! That makes it so much easier to move leaves. Thanks for doing the bike trails too! My only suggestion, if you are not carrying a mask with you, I think it would be a good idea in case the wind shifts on you. Thanks Doug!
That is definitely the “next level”! BTW - you are responsible for my wife’s cold coffee this morning. Got lost in the video and forgot to tell her that it was ready… that’s my story & I’m sticking with it 😂.
Awesome machine. You could probably come up with your own gutter attachment contraption to really get a jet bast up and into the gutters - but that could cause a mess too. Probably better to just do the leaf filter system.
That thing is definitely impressive. I think you should have called me for the road trip to buy the other one instead of Mike though lol. We’ll have to get down there one day for a visit to check out some of the equipment you have amassed! Love it.
That thing is a beast. For a rail trail I’d rather have something between the standard nozzle and the straight ahead one. Since you have to go up and back I’d rather go down one side and be able to blow the leaves further off to the side of the trail and into the woods. Then do the other side on the way back. Either way that looks like a ton of fun.
Better then a backpack absolutely, however it's exponentially more expensive then a backpack blower. Kinda like saying a fighter jet is better then a cesna 172 🤣🤣🤣
That's awsome...I through they would have an attachment for the nozzle for a smaller diameter to have more air velocity but any it's doing an excellent job
Nice informative video on the Blitz.. I have the buffalo 3 point blower for leaves and it works great. I can see the advantages of the Blitz with changing the angles slightly when blowing which is difficult to do with the tractor rear mount. I bet it can get the job done in close to half the time. I have a question though, how much more effective is the actual leaf blowing volume with the 40 hp versus the tractor mount you had.? It appears from your video they are somewhat similar in how much volume and distance it blows the leaves?
I didn't realize they could float the sports balls like that lmao. I've built quite a few of them and test every single one that leaves the shop. Very fun and snappy machine!
@OneEyeCustoms Yes. I'm a lead production assembler. I assembled like the first 60 of those machines. But I'm currently onto building our newest kb7 model mostly right now
The 26hp engine will blow the same amount of leaves as the 40hp engine. They crank rotates at the same rpm creating the same air flow. There's no extra load on the blower to need extra power. Remove the suspension and add a couple of weights.
Just spent 10 hours picking up my leaves! I've been looking at a Ferris stand on blower. I got a Ventrac last year with the leaf vac. I love the "just mulch them" comment. Those people don't have 12" deep leaves! I hate them all in my shop.
Oh, and that front-direction nozzle is the bees knees. I often thought when looking at those side-direction blowers it would be nice if they blew forward to get through narrow paths or between structures, etc. Nice tweak for that unit.
Would be nice to have a reversible option for vacuuming and mulching...Like a snowblower for leaves. Or a vacuum that multches and then blows them aside
Doug, guess that's why your channel is called....One eyed customs! You seem to find a way to improve or 'customize' products and equipment!... Good stuff! I like it, but I gotta use a lawn rake and a tarp!😂
Cool machine. I have the Scag windstorm, and as impressive as the Windstorm is, This looks to be even more powerful. I can't find any specs on the Buffalo Turbine. Do you know the CFM or windspeed?
Once you outgrow that machine, you can get yourself one of those jet engine blowers they use to dry NASCAR tracks after a rain. 😅 I am wondering if a nozzle that has air inlets around the perimeter would increase the volume of air blowing out by drawing additional air in with a Venturi.
Hi Doug i wanted to get something like that and try to clean up my community are there machines like that for sale i have a ton of leaves in my neighborhood that need blowing and a bunch of leaf blowers won't help the process
That is one nice machine, and I watch Mike at OWTM's and he loves the one you sold him. Does the turbine blow all the time or can you shut it off if not needed while riding? Stay safe.
The sales guy sold him this based on how easily he's impressed by buttons and levers.
I live in a condo, but I still want one.
Proud dealer for Buffalo Turbine in Western Canada here at Van-Ed Equipment. With units in stock available for purchase, and rent!

Excellent presentation. Thank you.
Great video.

Going to need to see a winter video now with how well it blows snow off your driveway.

That gravel driveway looks alot more soothing to the eye than solid urban jungle concrete slab
That Machine is Awesome !!!
That machine is incredible. Super maneuverable and the power that thing has is something. Looks perfect for your property.
Easiest question Doug ever answered in his life: “Would you like that in the 26 or the 40 HP model?”
Makes me wish I had more property just so I could get one!
Terrific vid neighbor. This was a great introduction to leaf blowing on an industrial scale.
Great video Doug and Autum love the trail attachment idea.
I don't need one, but I want one... 🤣
Great video. I was considering a billygoat until watching your video. I was not aware the buffalo turbine had a ride on. If you have a chance, I asked a few direct questions on your Instagram page.
Doug and Autumn,another excellent job and video also no raking needed 😮😊❤
Pretty sweet if you have $17,000 to blow leaves 😮
17 THOUSAND 😂😂😂😂 that’s over twice the price of a brand new fully loaded exmark with all the bells and whistles, warranty, insurance and extra blades/batteries. Holy crap

Fun video! That’s a well thought out machine! Never seen one before. You do have a lot of leaves do I see why this is a must have. Thanks for sharing!
So fun thanks for the video Doug! Keep it up
Great video. Very cool machine. Fun to watch, and educational. Really liked the custom nozzle.
After manually raking for 4 hours yesterday, this is a dream. Not a big enough property for this to make sense$$$, but cleaning the yard up in 30 minutes sure looks good 👍
Really cool, Doug:) Thanks for sharing!

Wow! You sure know how to make every man in America jealous! That is an amazing machine. I think it need at least two of them!
@@ArmsFamilyHomestead they are absolutely worth having at least one!!😂
Thanks for watching!!
Pretty sure it would do the trick around the farm.
@ it would for sure and I live in solid oak timber. Leaf season is the biggest pain in the neck!
@@ArmsFamilyHomestead I have a contact at Buffalo Turbine if you are interested.
Awesome man. So cool. Looks like it works awesome. Yes Mike Morgan is in love with your old one. Stay safe .
I just got the 3-point version for the back of a tractor this year. You are totally correct - It is INCREDIBLE.
How much
I got it gently used but I think they are 7-8k brand new
@@jayprettyman2634 oh hot damn
That's a fine piece of equipment and an excellent use-case for it.

Cool piece of equipment, I watch Mike’s channel too and that 3 point blower does a great job as well.👍👍🇺🇸

Awesome toy Doug, you Mericans get all the good stuff !! Watching from Ireland 🇮🇪
Doug and Autumn, that’s sure easier than trying to rake that large property. Love your videos
What a great machine. Love the front blower attachment you devised.
Awesome machine. You could probably come up with your own gutter attachment contraption to really get a jet bast up and into the gutters - but that could cause a mess too. Probably better to just do the leaf filter system.
Great video Doug. I caught that little laugh at 7:00. Was that your wife filming? She's probably thinking that revenge will be sweet. LOL
@@dennismahonchak3228 yes it was her, and I couldn’t believe she stayed standing there!
Love the custom novel! I hope you got a piece of the accessory!

I’m here anytime!!!
@OneEyeCustoms
Ok,
Wife and I will be there around dinner time😲🤔😁🤪
Have a Jesus filled day everyone
Greg in Michigan
Such a cool piece of equipment, I love my pto blower but my neck hurts from using it all day yesterday! This thing is next level!!
Wow serious out fit looks like fun 😊
That's amazing. I bet Autumn enjoyed the leaves blowing into her face 😂You definitely needed something like that with the size of your property.
That thing is a beast. For a rail trail I’d rather have something between the standard nozzle and the straight ahead one. Since you have to go up and back I’d rather go down one side and be able to blow the leaves further off to the side of the trail and into the woods. Then do the other side on the way back.

You’re absolutely right. And it’s a blast to drive!
Good lord, that is a beast. love it.
As always Doug had the biggest, baddist leaf blower around. 😊

@@MrFanatical1 I believe they are close to the same volume. But the Blitz is so much faster as far as maneuverability!
Nice property, i wouldn't like to be the one who maintain this huge piece of land.
That’s a great machine Doug. What makes it especially nice for you is that you have natural wooded areas to blow into.
Amazing!
By the looks of your property, you got a lot of money to buy something like that. Good for you.
That thing is an absolute UNIT!
Man, I want one! I could give my neighbor so many leaves. :)
#jealous
Now that would be a fun prank to do! If you are ever in the area, make plans to stop by!
I didn't realize they could float the sports balls like that lmao. I've built quite a few of them and test every single one that leaves the shop. Very fun and snappy machine!
@@jeremyarmbruster6498 so you work at Buffalo Turbine?
Yes they are a fun machine to run. Almost threw me off a couple times. Lol
@OneEyeCustoms Yes. I'm a lead production assembler. I assembled like the first 60 of those machines. But I'm currently onto building our newest kb7 model mostly right now
What is the easiest way to get a paper copy of the machine manual. I like having a manual to write in.
Any thoughts??
This video kicks ass.
Nice!

Yes, grinding them up with the mower only works when you only have a small amount of leaves.
Oh, and that front-direction nozzle is the bees knees. I often thought when looking at those side-direction blowers it would be nice if they blew forward to get through narrow paths or between structures, etc. Nice tweak for that unit.
Nice unit!
Tim the tool man Taylor would be proud of you.
🤪🤪🤪
Lol
A portable hurricane!
Nice video
Awesome! I need something like that for snow. Wonder how it would handle that? A riding snow blower would be worth its weight in gold!
Autumn going in to get the shot 😂
Would be nice to have a reversible option for vacuuming and mulching...Like a snowblower for leaves. Or a vacuum that multches and then blows them aside
Hey neighbor Doug. Bet it will work good on light powder snow
Someone in the Buffalo turbine marketing department needs to figure out what and Buffalo looks like
Doug, guess that's why your channel is called....One eyed customs! You seem to find a way to improve or 'customize' products and equipment!...
Good stuff!
I like it, but I gotta use a lawn rake and a tarp!😂
Yeah but I can buy 17 leaf blowers for one of this model. But I must say, pretty cool. Outdoors with the Morgans demonstrated their power..
That would work great keeping the brush pile burning
It sure would, hope to try it some day
Made in the USA...Right on!!!
You missed a leaf… 😝
Cool machine. I have the Scag windstorm, and as impressive as the Windstorm is, This looks to be even more powerful. I can't find any specs on the Buffalo Turbine. Do you know the CFM or windspeed?
They do not publish the CFM… not sure why
@@OneEyeCustomsis it because it has less cfm and mph than the windstorm? Seems weird if it had more they wouldn't be bragging it up 🤔
Once you outgrow that machine, you can get yourself one of those jet engine blowers they use to dry NASCAR tracks after a rain. 😅
I am wondering if a nozzle that has air inlets around the perimeter would increase the volume of air blowing out by drawing additional air in with a Venturi.
Gave you a sub from Upstate New York
Thank you! Hope you enjoy!!
You going to try this on snow as well? Great video. Definite blower envy here!
Great mMachine😊
Hi Doug i wanted to get something like that and try to clean up my community are there machines like that for sale i have a ton of leaves in my neighborhood that need blowing and a bunch of leaf blowers won't help the process
That thing makes me want to grow trees just to blow leaves. Looks like fun
lol, you would cut them down for firewood.
Diesel or gas , h.p. ? Please
Good job on a fine vid
40hp gas. I wish they offered it in diesel.
@OneEyeCustoms thanks,
Iam thinking most kids would offer to run it for free ,
Or maybe for lunch money
I think I’d like one just for the levitating balls!!
- Next month with light snow fall a true snow blower?
That thing would probably blow gravel back into the driveway after snow plowing in the spring.👍👍👍
@@bioniclife it sure would!!
I used something similar when I worked at my local golf course.
Cool machine, but I'm pretty sure that it would cost more than what I paid for my last three cars , combined! Lol!
When did Michael Keaton get into the leaf business?
4:17 PD stands for Power Delivery, so a USB-C that only charges, no data connection... the one Android uses or newest iphone (finally lol)
Thank you!!!!!
Is this the 40 or 26 HP version?
@@rhettvaughan1937 it is the 40hp gas. I wish they had it in a diesel engine.
Literally
That is one nice machine, and I watch Mike at OWTM's and he loves the one you sold him. Does the turbine blow all the time or can you shut it off if not needed while riding? Stay safe.
In all the time on mine. It’s the only thing I hate about it.
One extra thing to do, just before blowing your leaves, pull up under the tree and turn your nozzle up and blow what you can out of the tree..
