Location: In the Hills of Texas | Anyone have a recommendation? I can put my horse out so he won't be breathing the dust. I want to use it all over the barn. I have decided we will get a cordless because the corded will drive me nuts even though they are quite a bit cheaper.
Thanks!

25 years ago we had a backpack type one that ran on gas at the boarding place I was working. I loved that thing, so much faster than a broom and easier on the back also..... |

Location: In the Hills of Texas | I have all kinds of containers that get full of dust and I use to wash them off. Waste of water and too time consuming so I want to blow the dust off. |

| We have a cordless and love it! Can't remember the brand (its orange) but I won't even touch the broom anymore! My barn isn't huge and has a wide isle and I have used it with the horses in the barn and most don't mind it. It doesn't blow everything up and everywhere just straight out the doors :) |

Location: Tenn. | We have an orange one also. There is nothing easier than walking through the barn and getting all the dust off of everything as you "sweep" the floor. I wish I could use it in my house!  |

I think the orange ones are Black and Decker.

| I personally use a leaf blower in my six stall barn. I have doors on each end of the aisle, and it's done in a minute or two. Works absolutely fine, but I'm looking for a new cordless gas leaf blower to substitute a heavy cord unit. I'm trying to narrow down choices by reading these reviews https://www.gurureviewclub.com/best-backpack-leaf-blowers/ |

Location: LuluLand~along I64 Indiana | lol.... not sure why this got bumped up from a couple years ago. but i will add... the last trip to menards my husband wanted to buy a second leaf blower because he didnt want to have to go to the barn all the time to get it and use it in the garage. |

Location: Kansas | Mine is orange and it's a Worx that I got with my string trimmer. I use it on my riding mower. It's a draw whether my mower is dustier or me, so I use it on both of us.

Location: Where the pavement ends and the West begins Utah | get an air compressor and long hose. It can blow the cob webs out of your barn and fill your tires too. we use them at work even get it in hiding places. |
