I've got a steep, half mile long paved driveway and desperately needed a blower to tow behind my BX 2370 to blow leaves and grass (and light snow) off it a couple of times a week all year long. But if you've ever looked into tow behind blowers, they are insanely expensive (>$10K).
So I took a Force 9 by Billy Goat, took the push handle and third wheel off, moved the added an ATV tow hitch I got on Amazon (and with a rudimentary stabilizer to keep it at the right angle) - voila - an absolutely perfect attachment for about $2K (and the perfect color to boot).
One thing to keep in mind, if you're going to use it on any slope (like I do) the Subaru engine this blower uses has a kill switch in the oil reservoir to shut it off if it exceeds even a tiny angle. You'll want to detach that sensor.
I cannot believe nobody offers something like this - or even sells a conversion kit. There's a business idea here for someone...
