well I finally got my husqi.
don't go thru discount bandit. I ordered it, put in my CC info and waited. week later I call and get the company that was suppose to ship it. they said they sent me an invoice. I said I paid already.
nope I didn't.


anyway, that sucker blows.
had it on my back for around 5 hrs Saturday, maybe more. went thru about 4-5 tanks.
man I was sore that night and the next day. actually went and did my neighbors front yard sunday.

I am quite surprised at it. it will get leaves that out that are imbedded deep in the grass. does not work as well with tall grass, which I did cut first hoping to loosen up the leaves.
my wife raked part of the front. that worked really well because I could easily go back and blow what the rake WOULD NOT GET.

still very slow though.
had to do it much like raking. had a line or row and would move it forward in columns 2ft x about 6ft, then do the next column.
lots of walking backwards and sideways. that made me sore.
my neighbors leaves were really compacted because she has been parking in the grass lately. it even got them up.
nothing but dirt and grass left.

only problem, the rubber flex hose kept coming off. no clamps in the box. I had a big clamp and put it on one end and zip tied the other end as a clamp.

starts great, except when you leave the switch off. started up the second day with no choke.

it is a lot of work but it does a much better job than my mower does.
