What are some of your favourite tools (types of tools , brands, specific tools) or equipment for use around the homestead?
I am a fan of Stihl. I have a MS261 chainsaw and FS131 weed Wacker. Thinking of picking up one of their little battery pruners, the GTA26
Other recent acquisitions include a MUT utility trailer for our ATV and a John Deere zero turn.
Super handy but more expensive: a SCUT (sub compact utility tractor). We have a Massey Ferguson GC with a Sims cab and variety of attachments (MF blower, Woods rotary cutter, etc)
No, sorry. I tend to let the leaves do their thing
We did that last year, but they got all mega packed into the grass from the snow. Sadly our HOA is displeased by such 😭 They’ll be turning soon, I hope you get some good colors this year!
Before we moved to where we are now, I would use the lawnmower and it’s bagging function to pick up leaves. Slow process depending on how big the bag is and size of yard
Other options might be a pull behind sweeper, if you have a riding mower or atv
Not sure how big your yard is. If it’s small, maybe a corded blower and giant extension chord
