Two Semi-related Q's - Snapperizer & Billy Goat Vacuum
Posted by Unobtanium on 3/3/24 at 7:25 pm
Q1 - does anyone other than Snapper/Briggs make a removable mesh screen to help chop up leaves? I have one on my old Snapper mower but its days are numbered.
Q2 - Do the Billy Goat lawn vacuums have a chopping/mulching function, or are they strictly a vacuum?
TIA :cheers:...

Posted by Unobtanium on 1/10/24 at 8:48 pm
It is hard to determine relative brightness, maybe that's why it's not done.
I have noticed that newer model Subaru's have brake lights that flash 3-4 times when the brakes are first applied, then turn on solid. That is, to me, a better way to get attention....
