I still recon you would be better just blowing them up and raking into bags , compost , or bonfire or whatever .

I’m still pondering, billy goat not really going to be bery practical for me i dont think, just for transporting and storage reasons more than anything, and its no like its gona get huge amounts of use either, its only for domestic use and not professional or business.
Totally get the blowing in to piles scenario which alot and yourself are suggesting, but dont wana be blowing other stuff around at same time either (bark chip, slate, stones etc)
The suggestion of the echo over the stihl was a good one, simply down to fitting the attachments, stihls are very fiddly and awkward looking at some reviews and vids, as you mentioned in one of your earlier posts, but the echo’s are simply insert and twist collar to lock.
I’m gona stew on it for a bit i think. And i have no previous dealings with anything echo, although they do offer a 5yr guarantee on their product which i think is good.
