      It's great to have this. I have 3 big parking lot and this is very helpful. I have been using for over year and half. I haven't done any maintenance yet. It is very powerful blower comparing to other. I'm very happy with it and I would recommend this one.

          Love, I would check the oil level first. This machine has a low oil level shut down. You may need to add oil. If this don't correct the problem let me know.

          By|May 5, 2023

            I would first ensure that oil has been added to the engine. Pump the fuel bulb twice and pull to start. If it is not continuing to run that sounds to me like a fuel delivery issue. It might be possible there is a pinched fuel line.

            no

            By|May 5, 2023

              No. This is a fixed speed engine. The engine is designed to run continuously at this speed without harm to the engine.

              By|May 5, 2023

                (2)

                No. It is either running full blast, blowing everything everywhere, or else it is off.

                By|May 5, 2023

                  No throttle. Operates at a single speed with no way to disengage the blower while leaving the engine running. That can be a little frustrating when you're turning a corner and want to stop blowing leaves for a split second, but then you end up sending them in all directions, but it has been a minor hassle (for me at least). I have a 1 acre property with ~10 pin oaks and a few other trees scattered through my backyard. This blower is a huge improvement over any handheld blower I've ever used.

                    No, there is no throttle.

                    By|May 5, 2023

                      No. 1 speed--full on.

                      By|May 5, 2023

                        No throttle. Unit has an on/off switch and fuel primer bulb. Pump to get fuel to the carb, pull once and it's up and running.

                        No! Blowing is the only function. The air inlet is a large grille.

                        By|May 4, 2023

                          This is a walk behind leaf blower, not a vacuum.

                          By|May 4, 2023

                          From looking at it, I don't believe machine would accommodate a hose.

                          By|May 4, 2023

                            Not that I'm aware of. But if you are handy, you could jury rig something.

                            Yes, very easily.

                            By|May 4, 2023

                              Yes, 2 knobs on each side can be removed so the handle drops lower.

                              By|May 4, 2023

                                Yes. 2 large knurled knobs allow it to fold for easier storage or transport.

                                By|May 4, 2023

                                  Yes. The handle can come off or fold down by removing the two nut knobs or just loosen them and spread the handle to fold.

                                  By|May 4, 2023

                                    Will this Blower move acorns ?

                                    I am not sure if it will move acorns but it does have the power to move a lot of leaves. Acorns might be a little heavy and you might think about going big or use a pull behind rake. This machine has done a great job on my big yard and in a third of the time it took using my Craftman hand held which I thought did a good job.

                                    I have a bunch myself and just used my new blower. Answer to your question is maybe. Depends on depth or thickness of the lawn the acorns are on and in best case (low lawn) you can corral them and shovel them up better than try to push them all the way to a boundary.

                                              You can use either or. Just not both at the same time. 10w-30 only though, any weather!

Looks like a pain in the butt to change oil, needs improvement on that. I built a little hitch to attach to my rider if I so desire.

                                                  Other than the color, this Southland blower is identical to the pricier Powermate. I've had one one of those for 3 years and wanted another, but my local store was out of them. It is powerful and easy to use. The wheels are slightly too narrow to push easily on soft grass. I replaced them with wider, pneumatic tires. It now floats on soft ground and is a great tool for the price.

                                                    The Southland walk-behind, gas-powered leaf blower is ideal for mid-sized properties. The machine is easy to use with one-pull starting the norm. I was able to clear my .5 acre, heavily treed property in less than 2 hours. Like with most blowers, the machine works best when leaves are dry. A good value for your money ($299.00)!
