Jay and other leaf raking individuals,
I've been using a Stihl BG85 leaf blower for years and more years.
It's a handheld intended for the pro landscapers/lawnservices.
The current production is BG86. Currently about $300.
It's a "buy once, cry once" thing.
Actually makes cleaning off the roof and the lawn kinda fun.
High quality JASO synthetic oil for mixing your 2 cycle 50:1 fuel is recommended.
Ear muffs like you would wear for a day at the shooting range is also recommended.
Stihl does have lesser leaf blowers but this is what I recommend.
Visit you're local Stihl dealer to check inventory. Odds of finding one right now is probably slim. Ya gotta check.
