Grasshopper turbine blower Leaves, debris and even fallen branches don't stand a chance against the hurricane-strength air velocity generated by the PTO-driven Grasshopper turbine blower. With True ZeroTurn Grasshopper handling, and a nozzle that rotates a full 360 degrees, operators can precisely and effortlessly move even the largest debris pile. With Grasshopper, one operator can clear vast stretches of curbs and sidewalks, wide-open acreage with loose or packed-down de- bris, or congested and hard-to-reach areas such as tee boxes and sand traps in less time and with less labor than a team of backpack blowers. Gravely introduces line of Hurricane Plus blowers Gravely introduced a new line of Hurricane Plus walk-behind blowers for easy debris clean-up without the hassle of back or arm strain. The Hurricane Plus blowers are available with 169cc, 265cc and 404cc Subaru engines. Each Subaru overhead cam engine provides exceptional power with less noise and convenient one-pull starting.

Husqvarna 570 Series backpack blower The Husqvarna 570 commercial backpack blower makes short work of even the toughest tasks with air speeds of 236 mph and air volume of 971 cfm. Both the frame-mounted and tube-mounted models are engineered for all-day comfort, and feature a formed back pad to provide the operator with greater comfort for long periods of operation. The throttle lock allows the operator to set throttle speed without maintaining finger pressure on the trigger. With Husqvarna's new large, commercial-grade air filter, it allows the engine to work longer periods between mainte- nance. And Husqvarna has added an extra large fuel tank so more time is spent blowing and not filling.
