thats the best idea so far - now ive just gotta get an old tiller, around where i live not too many people have compacts so finding one may be tricky

Sorry about that. here they were used to fill verticle silos with chopped corn or whatever. The fan is up to36" in dia. and was usually powered with a pulley/belt drive and would blow the corn up a 8"+or- pipe. We used to fill a small 25' silo with a belt from a Modet T Ford then went an 8N, what a difference!
There are lots of them here in scrap piles since most farmers use bunker storage for chopped hay and silage. bcs

Can't you go down to Parliament Square and get a windbag to move leaves

sounds good but wouldnt it be a bit noisy - you tell me
