Tougher Health & Safety legislation has made the clearance of leaves from around businesses & public institutions an even higher priority consideration than it was before, so it’s no surprise that dedicated leaf-blowers like this commercial-grade example from Mighty Mac are becoming increasing popular bits of kit. The Mighty Mac LB8-EX Leaf Blower is fitted with a hugely powerful (8hp) Briggs & Stratton Intek I/C engine that uses an overhead-valve cylinder configuration so as to keep noise; fuel-consumption; vibration; & emissions at their lowest possible levels. B & S’s Dura Lube™ Splash Lubrication System ensures all key parts are kept generously oiled for reduced wear & tear; while their Magnetron® electronic ignition ensures ultra-reliable starting with no maintenance required. The durable 15” poly impellor on the Mighty Mac LB8-EX develops a super-high-speed airflow of 180mph, so you’ll be able to blast those wet, stuck-down leaves into the pile with ease. The direction of flow can be quickly adjusted via a ‘kickable’ deflector. Thanks to its simple h&-propelled design & front castor-wheel, the LB8-EX is highly manoeuvrable & can be guided safely & accurately around obstacles. Its lightweight design & large-diameter pneumatic tyres combine to ensure very little effort is needed to push it along.
