Gas Powered Backpack Leaf Blower Recs?

I like Stihl. I have a BR550 and a BR600. The 550 is over 12yrs old and still runs pretty good. These are around $500. Make sure to use the right octane, no ethanol gas for reduced problems.

Stihl or Shindawa. I have the Stihl backpack blower. Recommend looking at both of them at K&D Rental

They actually are, both are made by Yamabiko after the merger of Kioritz (Echo) and Shindaiwa back in 2008.

You won’t get what you need for that large a lot for under 400.
I have a small yard maintenance company and what I have is a Stihl 700. In my area outside Atlanta the units I see being used by commercial service companies are stihl and Red Max.

I just bought an echo 580. Has a lot of good reviews online. It is 329 at Home Depot.

[quote]I've got an Acre lot with a good bit of trees, so it stays covered unless I kick my arse once a week to try and rake it, or pay someone to do it...Anyway, I'm wanting to get a Gas Power Blower to help me easily knock blowing my yard out...

Take it from a man that's in the lawn biz, You don't need a blower, you need a zero turn with a mulch kit or blades.no raking no bagging.
You're welcome

Stihl

Just blew off the leaves from my back patio and pool area with my ryobi pressure washer. 2-for-1 deal right there...
