A Layman's Guide To The John Deere Leaf Blower

   (Read 500+ times)
By Patricia Wainwright

How the John Deere Leaf Blower Works.

Leaf blowers are an electric or gas alternative to the humble rake. Whilst, the rake has its place amongst garden implements, it can be back-breaking work, raking up leaves in the fall. Not only that, but those pesky leaves have a tendency to keep falling, so you have to keep raking If you want to avoid the aches and pains and blisters on your hands, then invest in a leaf blower. Leaves can make great compost, so you want them all in one place, and then in your compost bin, not on your lawn. The John Deere leaf blower does exactly that it blows your leaves into a pile, and then you can do what you want with them. There are hand-held and back pack versions that blow air out of a nozzle, and some also have a vacuum function whereby they can suck up, and even mulch, the leaves.

Types of John Deere Leaf Blowers

John Deere supplies leaf blowers for the homeowner, and commercial grade leaf blowers for the professional landscape gardener. The John Deere BH25LE Hand-Held Blower, for around $200, is very light and is suitable for those with a small backyard. This model of John Deere leaf blower does not need oil and gas mix, and it has a four-cycle engine, so it has lower emissions and is quieter than two cycle engine models. For seriously large gardens, there are attachments for the John Deere tractor mowers, yes, you can push these round your garden, especially good for large gardens. Mid range is the backpack gas leaf blower, great for heavy-duty jobs also good ergonomically, comfortable to use by distributing the weight properly. They have leaf blower vacuum models too, which can mulch the leaves into organic compost.

Maintaining your John Deere leaf blower

Whichever type of leaf blower you have, or are considering, there are many online retailers that sell John Deere leaf blower parts, at very competitive prices. This is especially good if you have picked up a John Deere Leaf blower from E bay and are using an older model. If you are a landscape gardener, using one of the powerful commercial blowers, like the popular John Deere BP 45LE Backpack Leaf Blower, then being able to find parts quickly is important, so checking the shipping information before paying for anything is crucial. Any gardening equipment lasts longer if you service it regularly, so take it apart, carefully, clean everything you can see, give it an oiling, and check any rubber attachments for wear and tear. If anything looks a bit worn, order the part in advance before it wears out just as you need to use it
