I've got 3 huge oak trees in my yard and the leaf blower I have now just isn't up to the challenge.

I have an Echo backpack blower that I can manage the leaves on 2 acres of shaded lot. ECHO PB-500H

Don't know most powerful, but if you want to know the loudest, I'll go ask my neighbor when I get home.

The one that the Mexican baws use right outside my office when I'm in the middle of a meeting

I'm looking at a battery powered blower, these 2 cycle engines are so loud.

Genuine question: any reason not to just mulch them in place?

Warning, it's a different tone/pitch, but the electric ones can be just as bad if not worse. They work great though, highly recommend, just would advise ear protection....seriously.

Have had 2 E-Go's, like them a lot. But the higher power ratings on them = loud AF

because some people don't want all that shite in their yard. You sound like you don't understand how many leaves come off of full grown trees. Mulching them all up isn't really an option unless you have somewhere to spread all the mulch.

My Echo PB 9010T backpack professional model.

An 80cc 2 stroke that will blow leaves out of the trees. I blow approx 5 acres of my land as the homesite.

I have an EGO 765 cfm handheld for small jobs like the porch and walkways, but that thing is a piece of shite. I have two of the big batteries and they die too darn quickly to be useful.

timely question - I need to get a leaf blower for the sole purpose of blowing pine needles out of my gutters; didn't have that issue at our previous house

I bought an Echo backpack model (9010 T). It was expensive, but that thing can move the concrete step stones and the landscape gravel. It can torque my back and remove leaves/branches from the bushes if I'm not careful. And I think they make an even more powerful one.

It was critical for all these damn magnolia leaves. They don't compost well and they pile up very quickly. It's no problem anymore, and it has cut down on the leaf blower work by more than half over the stupid hand held models.

If they're from Mig-15s then there is a chance that they're Rolls Royce.

E-GO is awesome but expensive. Get an extra battery and pay around tree fiddy for all.

We have the same backpack model. That thing is awesome. I got it because the Hart branded electric leaf blower couldn't get the work done without switching batteries (or taking forever).

Mulch it fine and leave it in place because it's good for the grass, especially during winter?
