STIHL blowers, not only for clearing leaves – find the right one for you!
Leaf blowers, also known as blowers, are suitable not only for blowing leaves together but also for general cleaning on stone surfaces, terraces, in a warehouse, in a production building (sawdust) and elsewhere too – for example for cleaning gutters or for drying a car / removing soft snow from a car roof. However, when blowing dirt and dust together, take care that there are no people nearby who might breathe in the swirling dust. Blowers can also successfully clear freshly fallen snow from walkways. In autumn, however, most homeowners, utility maintenance companies, park keepers and cleaning firms face a flood of leaves. The simplest solution to deal with this is to blow the leaves together. The range includes mains-powered, petrol-engined and battery-powered blowers. Below we set out the various tasks that can also be carried out with STIHL blowers, along with a selection guide for choosing a machine. How to choose the most suitable blower? First, you should consider the size of the area to be cleaned and what work the blower will be used for.

If you don't have a leaf blower – what then?
A lawn mower or lawn tractor with grass collection make it possible to collect leaves into the collection box together with mowing. But if there are many leaves and large trees (such as oak), then with a shredding, i.e. mulching, mower, you can shred the leaves into small pieces (by going over them repeatedly). Once the leaves are shredded, you can collect them into the collection box with a collecting lawn mower or simply rake them together. For rakes, we recommend the extra-wide Fiskars leaf rake, which is also fairly new in the Fiskars range – Solid XL leaf rake.
If you don't have collecting-shredding lawn equipment, one option is to use towed lawn sweepers – they can be attached to a lawn tractor or ATV on a tow hitch, and the brushes clear the lawn of both cut hay and tree leaves.
