Although i agree with you having been in the landscape business....
the fact remains they are indeed
LOUD and the guy next door goes
mental for a full 8 hours with his out in his woods patch....
so that, i have to either leave (...no pun intended) or put on headphones
now, the cost of landscaping will go way up
if it passes with the rakes
being a slow replacement requiring more labor hours to accomplish
the same thing.
Drivers of Cars on the other hand are absolutely CLUELESS what it
takes to operate a backpack blower and with head phones on for hearing protection........
you cannot hear them driving up behind you
AT ALL and it scares the crap
out of you thinking your just about to be run over making all the hair go up
on the back of your neck "CHILLS" sucks.
