Can it really be that we have just had our first day of Autumn? Some of you avid gardeners out there may be dreading the onslaught of wet and windy weather conditions. Coupled with the endless dropping of leaves in your lovely post-summer, neat and tidy garden. You are probably already wondering how you can combat this, and keep your garden in great condition. Here at Just Lawnmowers we believe each season brings pros and cons for the discerning gardener. With Autumn officially upon on us, how can we ensure that we maintain our gardens and keep them looking nice? After all we’ve worked hard through each season, and tackled extreme weather conditions and still managed a healthy, great looking garden.
With Autumn comes the backlash of leaves. Even if you don’t have a tree in sight, you will still see your garden littered with leaves and other garden debris. Here at Just Lawnmowers we like to think we have all the answers to your problems, however big or small. So whether you have a small garden and a tiny budget or lots of land and very deep pockets, read on for our top 5 petrol blowers. Whichever one takes your fancy you can rest assured that you will be able to combat that untidy garden this Autumn. We don’t just sell gardening products, we also know a thing or two about those products, so read on for some expert advice if you’re finding it hard to decide.
If you’re on a budget, we like to think that the Cobra BV26C Leaf Blower Vacuum ticks quite a few boxes. Firstly, it offers reduced vibrations despite its powerful and reliable 26cc 2-stroke Cobra engine. It easily changes from collect to blow, and the handy carry strap ensures it is lightweight and easy to use. Ideal for smaller / medium sized gardens.
Two great mid-price products that we think should be top of your shopping list are the Warrior EB260V Leaf Blower Vacuum and the Stihl BG 56 C-E Leaf Blower.
The Warrior EB260V Leaf Blower Vacuum is a top quality shredder, vacuum and blower featuring a flat nozzle design. It can easily deal with fallen leaves, and you have two options. Blow them into a pile and sweep up, or collect and shred into compost material, at the touch of a button. Thanks to the metal blades you can also shred twigs and pine needles if they should get sucked up alongside the leaves. Cheaper models offer plastic blades and we don’t need to tell you about the problems you may encounter because of that! The large collecting bag means you can make less trips to the compost heap, and the Flywheel magneto ignition ensures reliable starting.
Stihl remains one of favourite brands here at Just Lawnmowers, and the Stihl BG 56 C-E Leaf Blower is another great mid range Leaf blower that offers shredding, vacuuming and blowing all in one. This Stihl leaf blower features an easy, comfortable thumb-operated control which means the operator’s hand never leaves the handle. It also features a catalytic converter so it releases less harmful exhaust gasses into the atmosphere. Designed with a specialised stop switch and semi-automatic choke lever, the blower automatically resets itself to the run position while helping prevent accidental flooding for smooth starts. This is a powerful and easy to use machine, perfect in those medium or larger gardens.
If you’re looking for something with more features we also offer some top end products to help you achieve those perfect results, whatever the job. The Efco SA3000 Leaf Blower offers a powerful and reliable 30.5 cc 2-stroke engine with a round nozzle design. With a combination of high-speed airflow and low vibrations, this Efco leaf blower is incredibly efficient and easy to operate. If you want to collect the leaves, an optional vacuum kit is available, with a 36-litre collection bag and suction hose. This machine weighs just 4.5 kg so is lightweight for those longer, further away from home jobs. The Integral four-blade rotor shreds leaves and garden debris in vacuum-mode, meaning you never need to worry if you collect up more than leaves.
And last but not least is the Stihl SH 86 C-E Vacuum Shredder Blower which offers a multi-function control handle and a shoulder strap for excellent ergonomics and ease of use. It also features the Stihl ErgoStart (all it takes is 2 fingers and a gentle pull action) for easy starting first time, every time. Low vibrations add to the experience. Suitable for professional and domestic use this Stihl Leaf blower comes with both round and jet nozzles, perfect for any job. Vacuum shredders from STIHL pick up huge volumes of fallen leaves, cut grass and trimmings and simultaneously shred them. Reduced to less than 10% of the original volume, the organic material can be used directly for composting or mulching.
