What happens here
This project demonstrates the use of a large, commercial-grade stand-on leaf blower (Hurricane Power Z3) for clearing deep snow from a driveway and a wooden deck. The video compares its performance against a smaller, battery-powered snow blower (Ego) and also features a heavy-duty tracked snow blower (Pro-DXT) for clearing particularly deep and compacted snow banks. The primary goal is to assess the effectiveness of using a high-powered leaf blower for snow removal, highlighting its limitations and ideal conditions for use.

(5,529 characters)[Music] [Applause] [Music] they can get stuck all right that's we're just gonna have some fun today playing in the snow with a giant leaf blower we don't even know if it's gonna start yeah I'm doing Frankie Frankie thinks it's gonna start I don't know I'm not quite so sure of it we're gonna find out in a minute it's down here this should be interesting how much snow do you think we've gotten so far Frankie yeah this last snowstorm yeah I'd say yeah I'm gonna say ten all right we're gonna head into the shop and we're gonna see if we can get our giant leaf blower to fire up a little bit of fun with all this holy crap Frankie did you ever shovel a lot or hey did you use the pro qxt or did you use the tracked one okay hang I used a jack to push it all right there she is you guys the hurricane hurricane and snow is their guest gauge Anya nope no gas gauge I got no I do I got gas gas gauge is you common sense and looking down into the tank yeah I can see yeah so all right good old-fashioned using a stick don't use a stick with loose bark on it all right let's see if she'll fire [Applause] up here see how it'll do alright now before we get started you guys I want to know how you guys think that that giant leaf blower is going to do now literally that is the biggest leaf blower made on planet Earth it blows it over eight thousand six hundred CFM that's about the same as ten or eleven backpack blowers put all together I want to know if you think that it's going to do better or worse than this little tiny battery power snow blower by ego this thing runs off from a single tip and we're gonna show I'm gonna show you right now before the leaf blower hits the same deck you guys tell me in the comments down below who's gonna win this battle is the Eagle battery powered snow blower gonna take it or is the giant ride on leaf blower with eight thousand six hundred CFM gonna dominate comment down below and I'm going in its flippin cold out look at how much snow there is everywhere but it got up to eight degrees today yeah I love Minnesota so this is about as close to the same amount of snow as I could get it's about a five to eight inch event roughly and it's about the same consistency in wetness and this is the Eagle battery-powered snow blower just going to town I was so surprised that this thing could do so well I figured maybe this snow blower can handle a 2 or a 3 inch event but not this stuff it did so well that right here I'm actually taking it into a two and a half foot Bank of compacted snow this stuff was deep because this is where we had piled all of the snow for the entire season I decided to see if this little snowblower could what it could do in it and here we go it just literally never stops the torque in this thing is insane I was so impressed I couldn't believe it all right enough of this let's see how that giant leaf blower doesn't see [Music] well it actually doesn't do a bad job of blowing snow but it just makes a big mess and it would probably be a lot more efficient if we could get any kind of traction out of those back tires I think a good set of chains would go a long way but then again I wouldn't be running chains on this deck because I'd just be chewing it up so it kind of needs better tires [Music] you know her so all right he says it would have been faster so in theory it should have worked yeah well I would have been real coterie you know this is kind of sad and had to shovel stuff out onto it to you yeah but I mean in practicality she didn't work at all those tires are useless now we got trying to get this thing down the steps that ego snowblower works way better for you moving so but hey Frankie I could see where this would actually like get a car lot or something that where they don't get massive snowfalls this might actually be a decent decent thing I don't know what do you think I would think you guys tell me we've seen this in operation where would you use this if you would use it where would you use it I think for smaller snowballs this actually might be okay but not for what we're trying to do here actually make more of a mess [Music] it doesn't have a steel edge right no Frankie's window cleaning service right there will come up with a plastic shovel and clean your windows Keith Kalfas approved you guys don't know Keith Kalfas you guys go check him up his heart is so in the right place never met a better guy that just trying to help out with stuff freaking phenomenal dude man when I see guys that are actually trying to help out and trying to add contribute to the greater good that's huge all right we gotta try to get those down the steps now Frankie yeah that was a failure Frankie this was a failure our experiment failed are you guys you thought getting it up there was interesting getting it down should be a lot of fun all right my left can't stand on them deal say they all football you know I'll get out of the way right away I don't have a good feeling about this one but I'm glad I did hey Frankie let's take it down in the swamp and have some fun I mean well let's give it a shot yeah let's give it a shot um I'll take it I'll try it out I want guys that snowboard blow up at to it it works time to worth it Who am I talk to it we'll just try it out in the snowblower path okay can you run camera yes oh but it's fun yeah that is fun that is fun if you guys ient LeFleur why not try to do it in the soul that's all the steer can do is try so we can try to go I know you guys I think I've had enough snow for a while
