Before we moved to where we are now, I would use the lawnmower and it's bagging function to pick up leaves. Slow process depending on how big the bag is and size of yard

Other options might be a pull behind sweeper, if you have a riding mower or atv

Not sure how big your yard is. If it's small, maybe a corded blower and giant extension chord

No, sorry. I tend to let the leaves do their thing

This isn't a new concept, or exclusive to Tesla. I know first hand that camera companies do this too. Commonize the imaging chip and software lock the available imaging quality behind price tiers. You get somewhat lower manufacturing costs by having just one component sku and larger volumes of that sku. You need to sell at a certain price point to make it viable, but still have to offer lower price point options to keep and keep market share.

I'm not saying it's a good idea, but it's not new or unique . Far more common than people realize.

Our experience is quite the opposite. Damage with YRC was few and far between compared to others like Estes or XPO

 

What are some of your favourite tools (types of tools , brands, specific tools) or equipment for use around the homestead?

I am a fan of Stihl. I have a MS261 chainsaw and FS131 weed Wacker. Thinking of picking up one of their little battery pruners, the GTA26

Other recent acquisitions include a MUT utility trailer for our ATV and a John Deere zero turn.

Super handy but more expensive: a SCUT (sub compact utility tractor). We have a Massey Ferguson GC with a Sims cab and variety of attachments (MF blower, Woods rotary cutter, etc)
