Thank you!
Wow. Do you really need a push one as well? A lot of people I spoke with said they just end up in a corner of the garage. How much of your 1.66 acres is actual lawn? It works well for me mulching the leaves with my riding mower and then bagging them in a second pass. It cuts my bagging down drastically.
I'm inclined to using a push blower because my dad has had one for a long time and i'm used to it. I'd say about 20-25% of my land is lawn. The backpack blower will come in handy for the areas with landscaping and tight corners, but the push blower is ideal for the majority of the lawn IMO. Just to give you an idea, two of my friends came over with their push and backpack blowers. All I had at that time was an electric blower. Additionally, my neighbor came over with his leaf plow (it's a plow on the front of his riding mower made for moving leaves and brush rather than snow). It still took us more than an hour to finish because of the sheer quantity of leaves. The push blower plowed through heavier piles that the backpack and my electric one couldn't move all that well. I luckily don't have to bag my leaves because the town picks them up if they are piled up by the street, otherwise i'd be

Nice. Didn't know you were so close. I used to live in Hamden on the North Haven border. I worked at Circuit City back then that used to be on Montowese Ave. It's changed a lot over in that area since then.
PM me if you want any A/V stuff done. Can get you some deals on pro lines.

Where did you go to school? I was a teacher at CUNY for 8+ years. Lived just outside the city.

I don't have to bag mine either. I just take it to the curb. The first time I did it I had a pile the size of a small car. After that I started to mulch and then used the bagger on the mower. Cut the size of that pile down a lot.

Ah OK, I misunderstood what you meant by bagging. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll have to think about what to do!
