Guys,
I've got a Stihl Shredder Vac. I forget the model but it is the homeowner model from a 2 years ago. This is the only Stihl equipment I've been disappointed in. It only can handle light loads of leaves and if a piece of bark mulch gets in their it stops the vacuum blade right up. Then we you go to take the vacuum pipe off the guard always slams shut so you got to carry a flat head screw driver in your pocket to pop out the guard + remove the offending chip. Lastly the vacuum pipe is difficult to seat properly back on once cleared. In the end it's faster for me usually to rake and dump then vacuum. Any suggestions to improve the shredder blade? Larger size, different material, etc?
