i have an old 380, 2 x br 430 and a big tanaka 78cc, but always pick up a 430

The Husqvarna 580 is a good blower, had one for over a year now

I didn't realise there was a br700. It must be the 700 you go for now, if you want a backpack blower then get the one that blows the most! What can do a lot can do a little (it's probably a good idea to also invest in some really heavy shoes, or tie a sleeper to your belt before using it if not)...

Thanks for the advice..... I normally use my blower on my kombi but doesn't touch wet leaves so would like something with some more blow!!

I use the BR600 in the on floor corn store. It is so powerful that it moves loose grain back into the heap far quicker and easier than with a brush.

For leaves it needs to be a certain distance away for the best vortex effect.

 

I see that there is a gutter cleaning extension tube as an option

 

Has anyone used one?

We run echo pb755 and shindaiwa EB803.

The echo had given us 6 years of great service, I think I may have replaced the pull cord and thats it

the EB803 is only a couple years old, no trouble at all.

I brought one of these about 8 months ago after leaving our usual Stihl blower back at the yard....with a mower shop around the corner this looked worth a punt! more power than a br 300 also with a two year warranty and at half the price at the time.. I've had one fuel cap replaced under warranty and it gives me a warm smug glow when I use it that I didn't give any money to stihl used it today on wet leaves on a heavy hedge reduction with the lawn being on the edge of a woodland and it left it pristine!

I have the echo one, had it three months and if it's going to be anything like the rest of my echo kit it will probably only ever need starter cord replaced. It's good like definitely keeps up with a br600 and possibly beats it but I'm biased. However the two year commercial warranty from echo over stihl and husky six months is a no brainier to me.

My next blower would def be the 700. I have a 600 and it's an awesome bit of kit
