I purchased this blower for my 76 year old neighbor, a lady.

I do her leaf blowing when I am able to but there are times that I am away and can't get to it.

I helped her to learn to use it today but the problem is it gets too heavy for her after a little while.
(Almost an acre of land with a ton of oak trees)

What I would like to do is to attach a shoulder strap to the blower to take the strain off?

If possible, looking at the pictures .. do you think that doing the strap is possible?
(That tiny hole at the front is where you insert a small screw-driver to release the blower tube)

Thanks

There is another option if she can afford the outlay.

Entry Level Walk Behind Blowers @ Leaf Blowers Direct

With these you push them along like a mower and they blow with a sustainable high degree of power. I could not manage without mine.
