You know it's funny Dale, but I think a lot of users of leaf blowers eventually settle into a system similar to the one I use. I have found that a leaf blower doesn't bush or pick up everything I'd like when using the unit alone. I find myself raking an area into a pile, and then picking up the piles with the vacuumed part of the unit. Does this make the job easier. Certainly! I can pick up many large piles before having to empty the bag on my unit, and the stuff in the bag is cut up so small, that I feel it is easier to dispose of. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dale Leavens" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, April 03, 2010 5:31 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Toro leaf blower
