Leaf blowers

[4570Man]

I’ve got a Redmax 8500 and apparently the echo 8101 is better. I used to have a Stihl 400. There’s a world of difference between them.

The new big blowers today are no comparison to the old industry standard br400. I personally like the husky 580/redmax 8500 but the br800 and echo 8010 are similar. All of them will feel like twice the power of the br400.

Thanks for everyone’s help . I’m going to spring for either the br800 or the echo pb80. On another note anyone have experience with the pull behind leaf vacuums? Not so much interest in vacuuming as I’m mowing , too many hills , trees and short corners and angles to deal with . I’m wondering if they are any good to use in picking up the monster leaf piles from the blower. I mentioned earlier that I wasn’t interested in them but I’m having second thoughts .
