That thing is so powerful, that instead of waiting for the leaves to fall on your driveway, you could just turn it upwards and blow the leaves right off the trees and into the next zipcode

I really liked the infernal contraption you built last year to blow those leaves to the next life. It sure had more OSHA violations built into it as well :D

I bet those leaves were really impressed with this machine. Many of them were blown away by it.

The look on Mat's face when he first revs up the blower 🤣😂 Any piece of equipment that can give you that face, is worth it's money. This video was very satisfying to watch 😀

That's at a whole new level of leaf blowers!! Fantastic!!! This would probably work good for light fluffy snow removal. 👍👍👍

This should definitely be added to the list of toys for big boys.

Congratulations Matt on busting through the 500k window on your channel. I got with it when you were around 30k so it's been fun watching your channel continue to grow and rightfully so due to the great content you provide. My best to you, Ms. Eva, Roscoe and Meatball and cheers from this old retired coot living the dream in Tennessee.

If you told me I was going to sit thru a 30 min late nite infomercial on a left bower … with out once wanting to flipping thru all the channel … ha … no way! I’m blown away … because one of the worst stressors is when you can hear a commercial leaf blower headed toward you, breaking the peace …and there is nothing you can do about it … but you worked some magic with this video!

The entire ventrac platform is just an all around great tool. Especially for large homesteads and small farms! So many useful attachments, and from what I’m told super reliable as well.

Was anyone else saddened when Matt didn't say "Contact" when he hit the key on the Ventrac?

Wow the difference between before and after was mind-blowing (pun intended lol). The plow attachment would also be very useful in the right circumstances as well. If you could get all the leaves in one pile from each year and added enough of the other ingredients, you would have a very impressive compost pile each year.

I have say, that diesel creek does have the best intro music.

Thought I’d never see such a specialized, useful attachment! PS - Reminds me of the video of a Soviet era airfield runway deicer made from old jet engines

The new shop looks like it belongs there. Like it’s been there for ever. Matt excellent color choice. I just can’t say enough how happy I am for you.

Nothing better than Ventrac when they build it! No imitations come close. Don't bother trying to outdo - just buy it.

Only Matt could make a video like this and it still be an awesome video! Just so relaxing and chill. Did anyone else notice that sweet old dozer to the left of the driveway that hasn't had a video yet? I hope he does a video on that someday.

A outstanding piece of equipment. Between the wide tire footprint for stability, the horsepower to drive the implements, and the apparent speed of hookup etc. it seems to be a well thought out and engineered unit.-----Tom Topar on a business computer.

My son is as a golf course superintendent and I get to play with their “toys” - they have three Ventracs. They of course use the blowers for leaves, but also such things as moving water (de-watering ditches/swales) after heavy rains to keep play moving. It’s also a daily thing to blow all cart paths, pavement and parking lots as an insurance liability issue - no sticks, acorns or trip hazards. They do a real decent job with snow too!

Ventrac Leaf-blower sales are gonna go up 400% after this video gets around. Well done Matt. Makes easy work of that driveway, leafs (pun intended) more time for beers. Cheers!

I whole heartily believe that ventrac and Matt should team up and they sponsor you. The attachments ventrac offers you can really put them to the test on your land.

Watching the thick mat of leaves peel off the rocks and fly into the woods is soooo satisfying.

One improvement I would suggest is the ability to aim 45 degrees to the front so that the leaves are blown both forward and to the side which I think would be better for a long driveway. And as a bonus, the next time you construct a "a regulation bon-type fire" as Col. Potter would say, set that unit nearby and watch that baby burn anything and everything!

Now THAT is a world-class big-boy toy! I want one for Christmas.

I bet you're going to buy one, that thing is a total money-maker. That thing is just crazy powerful. No more cursing leaves plugging up ditches and drains slash culverts. The potential uses of that from blowing powder snow to blowing out your shop is just nuts !!!

Matt, with the directional control of the nozzle and the power, it's like having all the control of a handheld times a bunch . Super unit !

I have to say that I don't like your videos --------------- I LOVE them! 👍💯. Anytime I watch one of your videos I feel your excitement and enthusiasm and it is contagious! Thank you Matt for taking us along with you on your adventures. I always look forward to each and every video and I am really excited to see your shop being built and your dream coming to reality. Again , THANK YOU!! 👍

4 year ago saw these on KZfaq ,and literally 8 miles up the road found a local dealer selling them and love them , now a full time employee and get to work I on them and play on them , just love ventracs , thanks to DGM UK SOUTH DEVON ENGLAND 👍🙂

That is very Impressive machine. Removing the leaves with no problem . makes life so much easier.

Wow ! Beautiful results. I love the way you care for your property. That one brief shot of you driveway was just beautiful. Feels so good to see you kick leaf butt, Matt.

leaf clean up on a whole new level .. wow.. i see pouring the footings for the over head gantry crane coming up .. Exciting times .. Thanks Matt.. always enjoy my Diesel Creek viewing

I have a steiner 420. Its old but I plow snow , move dirt , blow leaves , haul trailers and mow with it . Best damn thing I ever bought .

Bag those leaves and sell them as mulch for garden fertilizer. Using leaf mulch is an organic, inexpensive, nutrient-rich way to make sure your plants will grow and produce year after year. Fall is in the air; the leaves are on the ground, and I couldn't be happier. To be clear, I don't enjoy the work of raking leaves any more than you do. However, I do have a solid appreciation for what leaves add to my garden and landscape just a few months after they fall. Where most people see leaf debris as trash, along with hours of raking or blowing, bagging and hauling, I see garden beds covered in rich, organic compost. Nature knows what it's doing. In fact, did you know that leaves contain 50 to 80% of the nutrients that are extracted from the earth by tree roots? Recycling this precious resource to replenish soil will nourish all that is planted in it. If you're already gathering them up anyway, doesn't using leaves as mulch make perfect sense?

A big wind could redistribute all of that hard work. No matter, that blower looks like fun! Any plans to put Christine's glasses back on?

Nice tool but it needs another reduction tip on it to further increase the wind velocity for wet leaves and such. The tip could be adjustable akin to the jet engine that adjusts to increase velocity. It could be manually adjusted to keep down cost. Doing so would allow you to push leaves up Into a larger pile

THATS A GOOD THING TO BE PATENTED FOR CITYWALK , STREETS AND LARGE PARKING LOTS , GOOD JOB AMIGO !!

This summer you can park that at one end of your barn and have circulated air through out the whole massive structure. What a barn. Nice

What a great, practical tool! This is definitely "Tim Tailor" style! Probably also good as a snow blower, with freshly fallen snow.

Hey good morning Matt! Yuuuuup those beautiful leaves become a pain in the rear side once that fall from the trees! Congrats on 503,000 subscribers and thumbs UP!! Its good to see the Diesel Creek Size leaf blower in use! YEEE HAW !!

A good leaf blower is a home owner's best friend. I can imagine this is the contractor's version. No idea why it is so satisfying to see this, but it is. ;-)

My late father in law had a short concrete driveway maybe 75' long. He took an old push mower deck, a horizontal shaft 5 hp engine and an old squirrel cage blower from a home furnace and made a blower out of it. It worked great on leaves and worked well on light snow as well.

That is freaking impressive! What a work saver. Not just for driveway, but keeping driveway ditches clear from clogging. However, here in Southwest Florida and suffering through hurricane Ian September 28th, I’m not a fan of excessive wind. If you catch my drift, pardon the pun.

Have to say I was impressed by the Ventrac anyway but this is a whole new level. I wonder what else they have for tools for the machine?

It's almost comical that I left a thumbs up watching a leaf blower at work, but, since I like Matt's content and was quite mesmerized by leaves blowing, and of course it doesn't cost me a thing, so thumbs up to this video.

Congratulations! You have the cleanest dirt north of the Amit river. Until the wind blows.

Excellent! A fun video and I'm much more appreciative of Ventrac and their products. I wondered about how effective the leaf pusher might be... Thanks for the fun ride! Be well, be safe!

Matt the lean to or extensions to the shop was very intelligent! More of these are needed so that all the equipment is out of the weather.

Ventrac has the best leaf blower I have ever seen. Thanks for showing us, it was great! J.R.

That thing is ferocious! Never mind the leaves it would probably blow the leaves whilst they are still on the tree! Mind you then Mother Nature sends in a Cat 5 and levels them all out again!

Man I remember back when you go that Ventrac unit, that thing would come in SUPER handy with little odds and ends jobs you can't really use a skid steer for.. what a GREAT leaf blower attachment, totally worth the price of entry on that one!! Great video, I'll sit here all day and watch you move leaves!! Awesome!

I could watch this all day ! Amazing equipment! Very expensive but I will own one some day.

Sweet Slow Mo Shots There Matt 16:40 @Diesel Creek

Brilliant stuff. 'Leaves... Yeah, there were some leaves, but they're all in New Jersey now.'

Very happy to see you with half a million subscribers! No surprise really but congratulations nevertheless. You're producing a quality product with unique flavour and humour ("finding, buying and rat-rodding/restoring heavy antique equipment somewhere deep in a forest"?). You've invested time, tools and effort to get here. Leaf blower test seems to be just in time - not many more leaves left on the trees - you're done for this season! Whether or not you keep it... Time and effort spent modifying your silage blower (which we love to watch) + lost opportunities doing other projects / income producing or not + likelihood of effective outcome (including snow-blowing during coming months) + possible income opportunities using this blower + ... My head hurts already! Looking forward to whichever way you go. Again, congratulations!

Love it. Try using it as a snowblower. Probably it would work best on untouched snow and take it right down to ground level with no packing it down so you don't get an ice build up. Great videos love your style and the Semi-Supervillians music. Keep up the great work 👍.

New Blower Epicness I remember the Blower Project I'm Intrigued Matt 2:10 @Diesel Creek

notice how it clears out all the drainage ditches along side the road. Great for keeping water where you want it. Great property maintenance tool.

Matt, this blower is awesome, I agree, and the ability to to rotate the noodle 360 degrees really demonstrates it’s versatility by being able to blow the leaves off your machinery where it would otherwise accumulate and start decomposing on the metal surfaces over time.

What a nice machine and the attachments look very well built it will be interesting to see how your DIYS blower will stack up, I've got faith!

WOW! That is a leaf blower. That unit could darn near blow the stink right off of a skunk forever.

That tune at around 23 minute mark... Man that's awesome.

That is one badass blower. It was really impressive how it was lifting old wet stuck down leaves with no trouble at all.

Very neat piece of gear - I've seen something like it being used to handle dry snow - crazy fast!

Matt; might I suggest creating a marshalling yard to park all your odds and sods. Just placing various stuff from old trucks & truck caps, disused equipment to log piles beside your drive is exacerbating your leaf problem in every way from the wind piling it up to you having to blow around all of it. Those of us living in snow belts will tell you that putting up snow fences beside a drive way is just asking for drifts you can't see over right down the entire laneway.

We had a tree fall across the road blocking both lanes and a guy used one of those ventrac mowers to push the log to the side after it was cut in half , those machines are powerful for there size!

Great morning dose of Diesel Creek !

This has got to be one of the most gratifying attachments ever.

Awesome That thing BLOWS!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✅✅✅✅⭐️😂

I agree, that blower steals the show. The plow is not a show stopper. I'd keep the blower and keep the driveway clear. Great content. See you next time.

man, that thing really blows. And it's surprisingly relatively quiet as well, which is rather impressive

Matt we are all so happy for you. you work hard and the new shop is the cherry on top.

30 minutes of leaf blowing,wow what a plot.

Fan request: When it gets cold and snowy, can you find an icy spot that's wide open, hook this thing up, and use that blower to do some donuts? :D Maybe grab the Hummer and do some, as well. ;D

Far out! What an effective bit of kit, that really cleans things up and leaf mulch makes horrible mush after snow. Funny, I watched Mike from Outdoors with the Morgans put new line on his string trimmer once but that blower was way more fun. Hope you get the concrete down before winter.

Matt, actually what you need is a huge vacuum that sucks up the leaves and grinds them into dust and shoots that dust into a pull behind container. Than you can dump the container where ever you wish. And mulched up leaves would take a mere 10% or less the volume of blown leaves... Just an idea. Thumbs Up

I just watched a man blow leaves for nearly 30 minutes with possibly the most ridiculously oversized leaf blower in existence and loved every second of it.

Man 30 years ago I ran a ten man crew maintaining a 175 acre cemetery, if I had a tool like this then wow. Back then we did it all the old school way, push blowers, rakes and a leaf vac truck. We did get a tow behind blower for the tractor but it was only good for the open fields.

Good morning Matt, that Leaf blower is awesome. Definitely a tool I would consider having. Be good and take care. 👍

While last year's contraption complete with flame exhaust was awesome, this thing seems way more practical. Only you could make leaf blowing so entertaining! LOL Good job!

As a old fire fighter that used leaf blowers to put out grass and brush fires, That thing would be worth its weight in gold.

So 15 hours and 240k views. I would say ventrac got a good deal. Thanks for the KZfaq content. I’m always happy after I watch what you are doing.

Impressive piece of equipment. Don't let Peg see this, Canada would never bee the same if he were to get his hands on one of these.

That’s an amazing machine mate love it hope you all are doing well you really need one or cut down your trees but we really don’t want to do that so get ya!!

Aaaaand I'm binging leaf blowing videos again! And then snow clearing. And then fall cleanup.

Such a kid with a new toy... LOL! The look on Matts face when he fired it up!

Preparing for the overhead crane - looking forward to seeing it up, will be a useful tool for handling heavy equipment when doing maintenance

That's pretty cool, I wonder if they also have snow removal attachments. The leaf plow looks like it would be better suited for parking lots and pavement.

The leaves insulate the forrest floor and nourish the grass. If you continue to blow the leaves off of the forrest floor, you will eventually change or damage it.

The look on your face when you started that thing up, I think that you could play that right across the board for all of us...

wow matt..... you really know how to surprice us everytime with the projects and toys you have. i think you litterly blew us away with this one, its like a mobile tornado. great job done.

Mind-blowing machine, with so much gust-o, a whirlwind of productivity, truly, and you can believe me because I'm not just full of hot air

Sweet, another ventrac vid! I bet that leaf blower would kick ass in the light fluffy snows that blow all over if trying to plow or snowblow. Imagine using it to clean off your other toys before bringing it in the shop.

I always like the intro music.. I've seen units similar to that before..( gigantic hand dryer) drying out surfaces.. tennis courts.. etc. A "viable option" for sure

Really nice equipment. While watching I thought that only blowing the leafs outward to the forest surrounding the yard would be better than blowing it inward.

that must have been so satisfying! EDIT: +1 for the extreme slo-mo

That leaf plow is Pretty Slick also Matt 27:08 @Diesel Creek

Wow! If you could herd a majority of all those leaves into one area you could create a large compost heap for future gardens.

Keeping the leaves out of the rock on the road will definitely make the road last longer before it needs a refresh. Plus, keeping the sides of the road clear will also help on drainage. Nice piece of equipment. Will refrain on any jokes about BJs.

Hey Matt what a sensational machine ! It looks awesome. When do we get a walk around of your new truck ? Does it sound as good as old blue ? I hope you’ve treated underneath it so hold rust at bay for as long as possible ! G’day from Australia 🇦🇺 mate !!

Matt, You've a winner in that monster leaf blower.

I use a quad with a snowplow on it to push piles of leaves into the woods at home. Huge time saver especially if the leaves are wet.
