Campey sell some great blowers.
(0)1260 224568 is number they often have ex demo hanging about as well.
Votex are the best i think. There is a few different sizes to pick from and the big one has a hydraulic swing arm on the back to move it in different directions. It is the most powerful tractor mounted blower

Get some good hearing protection, a) for the noise and b) for the complaints from neighbours. Great tools though

As with cars...buy the most powerful one that you can get your hands on , I used to hire out the Turfmech Tornado but I believe that one was discontinued and Trilo now make the most powerful unit.
Its got to be purrrfect

Rob, the tornado is still alive and kicking. My 2 year old one was out yesterday blowing leaves. Great bit of kit, good for dew removal prior to mowing and blowing away grass clipping that accumulate in damp conditions. As Steve says, ear plugs/defenders are a must! It requires at least 40 horse power to work well and it is quite heavy.
