  1. My dad has had one of those for 25 years. His home had about 2 miles of ditch and quite a bit of it was steep. Depending on who the township hired to do the winter plowing……………………
    Just also have to make sure to mow the ditch short in the fall and get to removing the gravel early so the grass doesn’t grow over it.

  2. Kewl! I want one! I live in the land of pea gravel for lawns. It’ll make all the old farts envious with their 3-legged stools and shop vacs.

  3. That orange/white power head sure looks like a Stihl. If it is, it’s one of the few name brands that means something anymore. Definitely NOT Chinesium, and you won’t find it at Horror Fright. We lost our Stihl shop in town when the old man passed (he was 94), and the company won’t allow a dealership if they don’t have a mechanic on site. The local hardware store found a mechanic and put up a small engine shop, so we’re good to go.

  4. Worth renting in my area in the Spring. Clears the winters collection of sand off the driveway like nobody’s business.

    Mostly young man’s tool as it is a powerful sweeper, and YOU are the mobile anchor point. Gloves, eye protection (as it sometimes flings things into your face) a back brace and hearing protection recommended.

    But then again being a thrifty Yankee I use my snow shovel to scoop up most of that sand for next winters use. Back into the sand buckets with it.

    • Have I got a deal for you! A gas-powered posthole auger. Works great, but a word of warning: it will absolutely beat you to death. Digging is not all that hard (relatively speaking) but yanking that thing back up to clear the hole is the killer. Proper form is everything, and still you ‘d better be young and strong.
