I have the biggest Echo backpack blower... 80ccs. It's great when it's working. I need it for the power to blow off my woods trails, even when the leaves are a little wet.
I have to have a carried/backpack model, because many of the trails are too steep to use any of the wheeled models, even if that would work.
The Echo is going back to the shop for the second time. It was covered under warranty, but it was gone for months last time.
I've also killed a Stihl 60cc model... it seemed to go the same way. I think the main bearing went south and seized.
Yes, I run the recommended oil in them, and I use them for long hours at a time, but not like I imagine a yard service would. I just don't know why I'm killing them.
Has anybody tried the RedMax? I haven't tried them yet.
Thanks.
