The leaf blower thread inspired me to ask everyone, Whats your favorite piece of power equipement to use around the yard.

For me its my echo backpack leaf blower, It makes dealing with the fall mess 1000x easier as I am surrounded by woods and I can just blow the yard once a week outward from the house and never have to pick up a rake or a tarp.

I also use it to blow of the decks and driveway every few weeks.

The runner up is a tie between my snowblower and my chainsaw.

Much as I like my 12 HP Chipper/Shredder, it's a pain that it has a pull starter, so I will have to go with the Craftsman riding mower.

It's a toss-up between my Tanaka trimmer and my Red Max backpack blower.

Honorable mention goes to my Toro Super Recycler mower.
