    measured 2000 fpm out the transfer tube stock mower, stock blade. should be 3 to 4000 according to common air transport literature. feels substantial to the bare hand but numbers don't lie. got to get the bag and mesh mounted up. sure looks odd.

    I've discovered that some guys get more lift by running a second blade so it's an X, if the machine spindle can accept it. My friend has a ridiculously expensive honda push mower with slightly off 90 degrees X blades. My 30 year old rider has the same configuration as the honda, but at 90...

    Thanks. I rebuilt the flap and some leading edge on a small rider I've had for 30 years and had to guess on the flap size. Couldn't buy a replacement. Another time I was straightening a root impact and did the overall end angle with two big crescent wrenches. Kind of overdid the angle on...

I'd say time over target is probably the key, maybe a bit of movement too, just like with a BR600. Given chainsaw dust is so dense maybe a normal factory bag would be...

    I tried my SH55 for those little bucking sawdust piles and it sucked - well it didn't. Half assed result with large amount of tedious. Saved me from BR600 across the lawn. So here's a borrowed idea. I've seen lawn mowers be Hoover hurricanes with respect to what's in the grass. Don't have...

    Model on that street vacuum? I'm curious what those that came before conceived for such a device. I'd like to look it up.
