Hi wce,
[quote=wce]Hi MF and Tyler

At 4.1kg it is easy to carry and well balanced, sounds crisp to me, maybe call into a Parklander stockist near you and see if they have a demo model they can fire up for you ? [/quote]

I'll see what I can do. Thanks for that.


Hi Tyler,
[quote=Tyler]MF - I just picked up one of those MTD vacs - just need to get it going (carby)

Vacuuming is always harder on the machine - especially in sandy areas as the sand obliterates the fan disc and housing[/quote]

We had a neighbour buy a fancy blower vac a few years ago and it kept getting jammed with those seed pods from his maple tree. That put me off them.
I'm happy to pick up excess material by hand. It's that blower function I want for stray clippings on paths
after mowing and edging.

Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
