We had a dusting of snow and I still had the leaf blower on so I decided to run 3 tests.
I’m hoping Yarbo can incorporate the offset to the right of the track that gets missed in the route calculation (especially important where 2 patterns meet at a 90 degree angle).
Low blowing speed:
Medium blowing speed:
High blowing speed:
Oh this was a nice experiment! Thank you for doing it.
Interesting to see how effective the leaf blower is at blowing (dry) snow.
Hmm. I tried to do that with mine and didn’t have much luck. But that was a week ago and I didn’t really know what I was doing. Now I’m an expert. 
Increases the argument for the blower to be rear mounted.
I’m not sure how that would improve the offset to the side of the tracks.
adds a small amount of to the rear too. Help offset the snow blower?
extra weight would help mower and snow blower. Lots of good reasons to rear mount that leaf blower.
The point of this was to show how much leaf area gets missed to the side of the tracks which needs to be taken into account when planning the leaf blowing route.
It wasn’t about snow. I agree the snowblower needs rear weights, but I’d rather just use weights.
I thought there might be reasons the leaf blowing might be improved by rear mounting.
I agree there is a rather large area missed with the leaf blower next to Yarbo. The original design showed an articulating nozzle which likely didn’t exhibit this issue.
And I wholeheartedly agree it could be and should be fixed.
overlap is tough right? getting outside the lines may mean taking a swim in a pool, pod, or off in a creek.
Yeah I get that there are issues at the perimeter, but I’m talking about the strip in the middle of the yard.
Thanks for sharing this! Many users are interested in this topic, and your tests are very helpful.
