    Has anyone come up with a good method to attach a hand held leaf blower and a whip stick to a greensmower. The previous mechanic where I work used 4" PVC pipe with band clamps along the left side of the machine. This is not very stable and falls off quite often. I was curious if anyone has a better solution. Pictures would also be helpful.

    Thanks for any help.

    We use pipe and u-bolts. Hasn't fallen off yet.

    Two of these https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-7-8-in-White-Spring-Grip-18028/202305505 work pretty well for the dew whipper.

    We used a short pipe on the bottom capped and attached with u bolts and we used a piece of 3/4" rubber (like you buy at tractor supply) on the roll bar with a 1-1/2" hole cut out of it.

    The rubber is strong and stiff and keeps it from rattling and does not scratch the fiberglass when using it.

    we've tried the other ways and find this to work the best so far.
