Abstract:

Walk behind leaf blowers provide an efficient and maneuverable means of clearing yards covered in leaves. However, large uneven properties remain difficult to clear due to the cumbersome nature of the blower along with the physical exertion required by the user. ?A traditional tractor mounted blower offers comfort and efficiency but requires use of a costly and complicated three-point hitch blower. Our novel attachment combines the advantages of a tractor with a walk behind leaf blower which provides an efficient and easy means of yard maintenance.
