That's good to know. I haven't tried it on acorns yet. I've seen wheel kits available for other brands of sweeper paddles. I mentioned it to ECHO to consider.
Mark, I have tried blowers and all other types of gadgets and the paddle is the only thing that got the acorns out of my lawn and it does not rip up the grass.
We don't have those seed pods in my area. Have you checked out the Garden Weasel? Those are great for picking up acorns and possibly what you're dealing with.
It really works great for getting the stones back in the driveway after snow plow season. Other times, you're right in that you have to weigh your options vs using a rake.
I see you both pushing it and turning it over and pulling the paddle broom. Which is it easier? How long will it run upside down when running backwards? Thanks
I'd probably stick with a leaf blower for that type of work. Otherwise, the ProSweep has bristles that would work well. If you search my channel, you'll see a comparison video that I made.
My local John Deere dealer sells those round things for acorns. I just looked them up and they're called the garden weasel. They work very well for acorns. I believe this pro paddle works very well too.
@@MarkThomasBuilder Thanks. Sometimes I overthink things and a nut gatherer never even occurred to me. This will definitely do the trick. As for the PAS system, I'm loving it. this is my third summer with it and every attachment has been a great investment. Cultivator is next on my list. Great video BTW!
How well do you think it works on chainsaw chips in grass. Need something even better than my Husqvarna 580BTS for cleaning up after a tree cutting job. Getting a Echo PB8010 backpack blower Wednesday but thinking this might even work better.
Saw a video on TH-cam yesterday with a paddle sweeper like this that runs on a lithium battery. the guy was talking with viewers as he ran it over his lawn,and I could easily understand what he was saying. This thing is bad for two reasons. Pollutes and you have to have ear protection.
I had no idea what this tool was. Yeah, I watched the video like a deer in headlights. There is simply no way, ever I would use that. I could have just raked it into a trailer behind my tractor and been done with it, no gas, noise and it looks heavy. I know this because I do this every year on my property. Takes no time at all nor is it labor intensive. Now, that's just referring to the Pine cones and brush. The street sweeper part seemed useable. I wonder what else your followers have used it for.
Rob Lambert I think the biggest benefit is sweeping gravel driveway stones off the lawn after the snow plowing season. It’s good for light snow as well. I’ll make another video this winter.
So if it's not as good as a rake then how is it better than a broom? Raking grass is much harder than sweeping a finished surface. Your comment seems illogical.
markthomasbuilder I would use it to clean up leaves, pebbles, etc. Also what are your thoughts on the pas 230? And do you think it has enough power to run it
The Pro Paddle doesn't spin as fast as I was expecting, which means it's geared low enough to go through everything without slowing down. It's definitely fast enough though.
You might think so by looking at this, but the paddle is actually way more effective. Especially if you're getting stones out of the lawn and pushing them back to the driveway.
It really shines for cleaning stones out of a lawn after the snow plowing season. There are times thought that I'd just grab a push broom and leaf rake for cleaning the smaller projects.

The pole saw attachment is amazing and this looks to be as well.
I have an ECHO Power Pruner, which is very similar. Sure beats getting on a ladder!
The Echo ProPaddle is outstanding for getting acorns off the lawn. I have not found anything better. It is a little heavy, but does the job.

Mark, I have tried blowers and all other types of gadgets and the paddle is the only thing that got the acorns out of my lawn and it does not rip up the grass.
It's amazing how it doesn't rip the lawn up.
I love the sound of that bigger engine
Haha, yeah it's a beast!
I don’t know if they’re a problem in your area but that looks like it would work awesome for sweet gum seed pod clean ups
We don't have those seed pods in my area. Have you checked out the Garden Weasel? Those are great for picking up acorns and possibly what you're dealing with.
Echo Pro Paddle
What a crazy timesaver. I'd add an extender to help my back though. Definitely getting this.
Whenever we get some snow, I'm making another video. I've also heard someone suggest adding some kind of wheel to take the weight off.
Will the extender work for that though?
Nice, you also need an Echo chainsaw to remove the dead limbs from the pine tree.
Yes, I agree. I need to clean that area up👍
Very nice I’m thinking about snagging s Redmax power broom
You should, the really come in handy for power cleaning.
Appreciate the video. Really like the picnic table design also.
Thanks! It's the perfect size to fit a small group of people.
Amazing... looking to purchase this piece
Do you know the hours on paddles be for replacement say yardwork or snow clean up, and hours on engine be for engine failure or engine
Life expectancy
I'm not sure, but I've used mine off and on for a few years now and they're still looking like they're in great condition.
I feel like you could have done a less labor-intensive job with a rake. I could see it helping for acorns or rocks though.

Could not wait until he started the engine, yha, yha, yha !
That reminds me, I need to put chapter markers in my videos more often, so you can skip to the parts you want to see most.
Echo makes back blowers that are lot faster and easier on the back
Yes they get 80% of things. This pro paddle will get the other 20%, like small stones in the lawn after the snow plowing season.
Is it strong enough to move wet soil / clay around? Beachfront...
I've used it to help level out potholes in my gravel driveway. The paddle is pretty tough. So far, I'm it's holding up well.
Absolutely
It looks like a good tool for light dethatching.
That's true, I never thought of that.
I see you both pushing it and turning it over and pulling the paddle broom. Which is it easier? How long will it run upside down when running backwards? Thanks
I prefer to push the broom, it seems like a more natural motion. When it's backwards, it shoots mulch and stuff back at you and gets in your shoes.
Great video! Thank you! My assumption is after watching this is that it'll have no issues pushing out walnuts (peach size) from grass?
I would think so since it pushes big pine cones.
@@MarkThomasBuilder Thank you❗
How does it work in the grass with getting road sand to the curb? Does it destroy the grass?
It chews up the grass a little, but not too bad. I just used it this weekend to get pinecones out of my lawn.
Does this work if you have a gravel garden?
It will fling some gravel and stones along with the bigger things in there.
Great work Sir!
Thank you!
How is this on removing leaves? We had a lot of new grass and some sod, and are concerned about tearing those up. Any experience with that out there?
I'd probably stick with a leaf blower for that type of work. Otherwise, the ProSweep has bristles that would work well. If you search my channel, you'll see a comparison video that I made.
Well I'm surprised. That looks way easier than using a garden or leaf rake and a lot neater than using a blower.
It cleans the ground up in a hurry!
My echo 8010 blower will move all of this same stuff alot faster.
I agree, that thing is a beast!
I am thinking this would be good to remove acorns from under the oak in my yard. Seems to do well with the pine cones.
My local John Deere dealer sells those round things for acorns. I just looked them up and they're called the garden weasel. They work very well for acorns. I believe this pro paddle works very well too.

I got 8 acres to clean on a small island where theres no equipment like this. Ill be on that island for 6 months, hope this thing can last.
Yes, I think you'll be happy with it. Sounds like a big cleaning project.
Doo u guys think will
It work on my 58V battery powered trimmer?
This works on the new Echo 56V eForce PAS system. I don't think it spins quite as fast, but it definitely works decently.
Wonder if those would work on a sthil power head? 🤔
I don't think they're compatible, but will have to find out for sure.
Can you use this with a battery echo trimmer? Good video.
I heard the new ECHO eForce units will power this.
That’s awesome!
Thanks man!
How's it do with sweet gumballs?
I haven't tried it on that, but I'd imagine it would be no problem.
Thanks
How well do you think it works on chainsaw chips in grass. Need something even better than my Husqvarna 580BTS for cleaning up after a tree cutting job.
Getting a Echo PB8010 backpack blower Wednesday but thinking this might even work better.
I think it work work well on chips. The 8010 definitely has the power to clean it too.
markthomasbuilder thank you Mark. I really enjoy your great videos. Very informative.
How good does this work with leaves and pine straw?
I'd use my backpack blower for that. I noticed when I was cleaning pinecones, it cleaned the pine needles too.
Saw a video on TH-cam yesterday with a paddle sweeper like this that runs on a lithium battery. the guy was talking with viewers as he ran it over his lawn,and I could easily understand what he was saying. This thing is bad for two reasons. Pollutes and you have to have ear protection.
ECHO now makes a battery powered powerhead for this now. No gas fumes and not as loud. You have your choice now.
What is your local echo power equipment dealer I have a dealer i planewell Michigan I want to meet you in person sometime in a few years
Hi, nice to meet you and thanks for stopping by my channel. I get all my ECHO accessories from Home Depot.
My back hurts watching this...how about a wheel that bolts on the shaft?
You can balance the weight by moving the left hand grip, it definitely helps save your back. I like the wheel idea for extended use purposes.
I want
I recommend it!
How is THIS easier on the arms than a simple rake?
Without the use of "safety equipment", noise and gas pollution?
This really excels in clearing out stones in the lawn after the snowplow season. It's way faster than a rake and doesn't damage the lawn.

Please come pick up the gravel in my lawn by hand or rake this spring. You’ll then know why people love these things.
EGO attachments on a gas tool?
I'm guessing only ECHO attachments run on their own PAS powerhead.
What outdoor cleanup project would you tackle first with the ECHO Pro Paddle?
markthomasbuilder I would use it to clean up leaves, pebbles, etc. Also what are your thoughts on the pas 230? And do you think it has enough power to run it
I would use it to clear snow off the sidewalk
I bet it will sling it pretty good!
The Pro Paddle doesn't spin as fast as I was expecting, which means it's geared low enough to go through everything without slowing down. It's definitely fast enough though.
[How about testing the new 2100 paddle and ego 56v battery powerhead with 5a battery
Isn't a rake just as effective...
You might think so by looking at this, but the paddle is actually way more effective. Especially if you're getting stones out of the lawn and pushing them back to the driveway.
less waffle more action
i have one its very heavy
Yes, I don't run mine for too long. Luckily it gets a lot done in a short time.
to bad it costs 350.00 + or so
Yes, it's an investment for sure.
400th Like 👍🏽
🙌
way to much talking. Just show the thing working.
Noted, thanks!
the product is useless better with a rake not being thrown about
This paddle really shines for cleaning stones out of the lawn after the snow plowing season.
that is a white man's basketball hoop...looked like about 8ft high
Haha, probably lowered for my kids. We still have that old hoop. I'd like to upgrade.
Nice review, but this tool looks pretty useless. More work than it's worth.
