Leaf blower

[Bill8200]

Are there any leaf blowers that work with the b8200? I think it’s such a low hp that one might have to be fabricated. Any suggestions?

This is what I do:

I first ran my AgriMetal leaf blower behind my JD750MFWD tractor (17 PTO HP) for many years. At the time of purchase, that blower was rated for 17 HP and under. The JD tractor handled it just fine and I actually wish I had bought the next larger model but I was talked out of that idea.

Today, it runs behind my B2650 and other than the ease of a hydrostatic drive and continuous PTO, there doesn't seem to be any difference in performance.

Not the same sort of tool at all, of course…but I’m pretty happy with not having to drag-around a long power-cord….or spend the money running a diesel tractor…. it‘s light and fits my hand and is portable for my back-porch…. and handy for getting a bonfire going.

I use a cheap Bauer 20V blower from HF.

Try blowing leaves on a couple acres with copious amounts of hardwood trees with that and let us know how well it does. (FWIW, I have both gas and battery operated handheld blowers. They're fine for blowing off the deck, patio, or the driveway, but they don't come close to cutting it on big jobs.)
