Chainsaw vs leaf blower

[Gypsydog94 4,586]

Been out ratting today and knackered another chainsaw anyone had much luck with a leaf blower? just blowing air in the holes? Not many bolted today and the ones that did was dopey as hell obviously the gas knackered them. And there ain’t much sport for the dogs

Yep we use one all the time. Works well except in deep places. It bolts them real quick.

I've used one for last 2 years last longer as you don't need extra oil in the mix

What about the battery blowers? would they be any good?

Easier to fill with petrol I would have thought then worrying about charging battery’s?

I have loads of batteries that I use daily so that would be fine. I've been told its not powerful enough though so will probably stick to a smoker

I got hold of a cheap leaf blower so will give it a go

Dose no one use ferrets anymore for bolting the rats?

Can anybody point me at what sort of hose to use on the exhaust of a chainsaw?

Long story short, I used to have one on my smoker but I don't now. I can't be arsed with scraping about scrap piles, if you can tell me what I need I'll just buy it.

Cheers

I would think very few people have terriers that are broken to ferrets. Also alot of situations arnt suitable for ferrets, coupled with the lack of rabbits to also work em on I think keeping working ferrets will be come rarer and rarer as time goes on

I do when I’m working on my own but there’s no way you could trust a pack of dogs with ferrets when there’s rats bolting everywhere ........
