Two completely different machines. The "fancy" one is designed to move a larger amount of leaves as it produces almost 3 times the output of the backpack blower. The backpack blower is designed to more portable and get into tighter areas. I used the wheeled unit to help move the larger pile of leaves. Ordinarily, using just the backpack blower it woukd take me much longer to complete the job. Thanks for commenting. 🙂
the wheeled blowers are meant for large open yards. This yard is a little small to use one of these blowers. It's so small that you could stand on one side of the yard, and the blower will blow the leaves to the other size in one motion.
@@Ca31_Buff yep they are made for bigger jobs, not necessarily bigger yards alone. Working by myself this blower provides me with the "extra push" to get the job done much faster than it would if just used the backpack blower. Time is money... 🙂
I see 2 blowers that were both used poorly or incorrectly. Operator error and being new to the machines make for alot of messes in the timing of the job.
I will be glad to break your video down for you to compare, moment to moment, andl hope it will help your timing just a bit. You do a initial walk around and l can not see evidence of wind but l am sure its there and you will be fighting it just the same. I assume it is blowing from the back to the front and toward the side with the ivy bed but can't tell if its gusts or a steady wind. The walk way is clear enough l wod have walked the push to the back faced it down the sidewalk , Started the bp and blown the back deck/steps off then the bed going toward the back lawn. Nkw start the push, set the aur to go down the breezeway and used the updraft around rhe house to funnel it to the front.( its light leaves if you had to fight it) and you always work toward your destination. Then as you did work the ivy down toward the shed.( did you blow them into the pile you fought with where the fence and shed was mounded or was it nature? Either way set the push blower ahead of the end to move everythong out as you blow toward the shed to limit what makes it to corners. Than youdid nehind the shed. Once you was blowing behind the shed you should have already placed the blkwer on the stone pavers oppisite side of the shed to prevent all the leaves from walking up the ivy.
But first you gi back up the beds and blow out the bush/ bushes ( second mess in a cleaned bed = mkre time on job) Then you use the 800 to move the bulk of the pile across the back a bit ( this is work for the push) i get it is fast with the 800 but time is money as well
Basicly as you came up the first bed toward the shed the push should have moved more leaves away from the shed and later ivy. Always do high stuff then the ground because the ivy ring in the front of the shed at the corner now re pollutes the clean areas for a few seconds and the mawn needed to be clean up yo the corner as you was rounding it so wind didnt cause the redo of the crrumbs.... .. now os when you should have mkved the push to the paver stone square and walked a much smaller amount out from around rhe shed.and into the grass side of the lawn.
Then you need to blkw shirtest pissible direction out if the ivy as tiy work tiward the grill. At one point you actually blow directly toward the wall. You nesd the leaves out of the bed where they will float.not walked down every inch of the ivy. Push blower to move them down tour blower moves them out to the lawn .... every leaf tou push out in the grass is ine less tour really fighting (yes every inch of ivy needs blown out) but its easirr to blow 10 leaves per sqft out them 20 saft of leaves, over.
what type blower is that --looks like self propelled
Hi, yes it is self propelled. Its the Little Wonder Optimax. 13 hp, 2538 cfm @160mph. Its a beast.
@@NorthBoroughsLawnCareLLC Thanks
Seems to me that the fancy blower on wheels isn't as good as the hand blower.
