    That thing is a beast! I wish I had one. You have tons riding mowers, engines, parts, supplies, a shop and TOOLS. You could make a micro "rider" or rig it such that it could be an "attachment.! Even cobble together a vacuum/leaf shredder…. That would be BADASS! The development would be a intriguing series of video's. Possibly create something REALLY COOL! One of a kind, PATENTED! Artistic and totally functional. There are so many "price–point", mass produced landscape maintenance machines that are junk. It would be cool to see something made with quality, ultra durable, lasts forever, easily operated and maintained. License the production to a few manufacturers and collect $$$$$

    I don't hate on pre 2008 gas cans. I practically collect those things. I still have a couple of metal ones from the 60s. I hate the newer cans with all of that safety crap on them I refuse to use them.

    When I have one of those plastic fittings that is leaking, I usually just hit it with a little blue threadlocker. It seems to work really well.

    Thatโ€™s a late 90โ€™s, early 00โ€™s Giant Vac WhisperJet. What a great blower, LOTS of power. Then, the 12.75hp and 13 โ€œHydroโ€ Kohler/Yamaha powered Fradans came out. Same or more power, half the size, Yamaha built engines better than Briggs Vanguard engines on the whisperjets, that is until the guys get leaves and dirt and oil all jammed into the cooling fins of the head and blow out the exhaust guide. The mid/late 00โ€™s was a great time for quality OPE machines.
