Leaf Blower

[23 Reo 229]

Has anyone made an attachment that would hook up a walk behind leaf blower to a Wheel Horse?

Not a walk behind but I mounted a blower from a heat/AC unit to a mule drive.

Can you rotate that pipe or is it a one way air flow?

Just driving home this morning I saw someone with a kubota tractor and front bucket,. He had one those walk behind blowers ratcheted in the bucket.  Looked like it was working

Adding a reducer section to the outlet end of the elbow would increase the air velocity  out of the blower.

I could if needed but I make one pass up the driveway and another pass down and the driveway is cleared.

That was my first go round bup the added volume far outperforms greater velocity.

Is it just attached to the front hitch?  I have the blower but need to fab the mount. Thanks

I welded the frame that holds the blower to an old mule drive.

When I was a kid I remember my step grandpa (the guy who got me hooked on Wheel Horses) made up some simple brackets and hung a Little Wonder 8hp walk behind blower on his snowplow/dozer blade. He had it on his C-161 Twin Automatic which I now have resting in my basement. I’m not sure how hard it was to steer, but I remember he could angle the blade left and right to direct the airflow.

I have a behind with the classic Briggs 5 hp on it and was figuring out a way to strap it to a horse for extended seat time. SWMBO  put an end to it when she said she needed her fitbit steps whatever in the he double hockey sticks that means! Oh well my drive is not that long but seat time is seat time!
