Backpack leaf blowers shift the weight of the blower onto your back, distributing the load more evenly and comfortably. Look for backpack blowers with padded straps, adjustable hip belts, adjustable handles and anti-vibration mounts. However, if you have back problems or concerns, you might look into hand-held leaf blowers instead of backpack blowers.
First, run your blower on the blow setting and then vacuum to remove all the leaves. After ensuring there is no oil or gasoline remaining and the engine has cooled off, wipe down the exterior. Finally, store the leaf blower in a dry place. Hanging on the garage or shed wall is a good way to store your blower.
Sod cutters cut grass at the roots to remove sections of sod and expose the bare ground beneath. The type of sod cutter you need depends on the size of the project. Sod cutters can range from a shovel-like sod cutter to heavy-duty motorized sod cutters meant to remove large areas of sod.
