If you are running a professional lawn care business or a homeowner with many trees, you need a backpack leaf blower.
Now, you may be thinking that you can pull it off with an unnamed box store handheld blower. Well, let me put it like this. How would you like to use a ten-year-old 21-inch push mower to mow an acre of well-grown grass? They are typically very unreliable and weak compared to a professional handheld.
The main thing pro handheld blowers are suitable for in the professional setting is for those hard to get to nooks and crannies. They are also ideal for a light breeze of dry grass. Why are they better in those aspects than the powerful backpack leaf blowers? Simple. They are quicker and handier.
If you are on a budget for your lawn care business and can only afford one blower, you should get a backpack blower if at all possible. The mid to top-of-the-line models have enormous power compared to any hand blowers. It is better to go to a dealer and get a feel of the blowers and to compare similar models. If you compare a leaf blower to handhelds, you will notice that the more powerful backpack blowers can move significantly heavier objects, like small limbs! How do you think that will help in the Fall time? Very well!
You can still compare models at the dealer, but you can buy them used online or in person. If you buy used online, be sure the seller has good feedback. Don't be afraid to ask plenty of specific questions. If they don't answer them in a reasonable amount of time, many other sellers are out there!
Be sure to purchase one in relatively new condition and not work to death. It would be ideal to buy a demo model or one from someone going out of business. Used commercial lawn care equipment is better than new homeowner stuff 99% of the time. You just have to be a little more careful.
Schröder Leaf Blower has an extra boost of power for the fall time or those wet days. However, they are less handy in tight spaces and more expensive than a handheld leaf blower. Even though they have disadvantages, I still would rank them as more of a must-have in a professional lawn care business than a handheld leaf blower.
