The blower flywheel on this one is THICK and heavy. IF one of the blades came off,--well with 8 hp tec motor it would just go klunk and the heavy outer housing would contain the parts with ease!
The ones with the chipper feature on them are made way heavier than the vac only models are.
This one would work better if you used hi-lift mower blades to help create more air movement to assist tossing the cut material faster up to the blower. --- I only tried it on the 185 IH lo-boy Woods deck with low volume blades, so it didnt have a good chance to do its thing very well. -- I was mostly just messin with it to see what it would do.
