Best blower?

Dolly 7650 here.

While on the paper it's approximately only 20% more velocity and speed, it feels as if it has twice the juice than my stihl km130+bg km. The nozzle and pipe are much more solid than in the stihl.

As it's a pure 4 stroke, it's exceptional easy to start, runs silent, yes silent and very smooth. I feel my 4-mix literally screams and rattles compared. Sips fuel although. And no mixing or stale fuel issues. Very comfy to wear.

I really love it.

Mick stated it: Backpacks are a pain to load and handle.

But performance wise, handhelds are a joke in comparison.

Unless you only have to tidy very small areas of very light material, a backpack blower doesnt cost money, it makes it while increasing safety for staff and increasing the quality of clean up.

 

The time saved on clean up is measured in man hours per week, less raking, less picking up, over a year it works out to days saved.

 

With light material it used to take 6 sweeps with the bg85 blower to clear a 2 lane road, with the backpack it takes 2. Thats alot less time having to dodge traffic. You can clear out from under truck, chipper and nearby parked cars alot better and faster.

 

They fit in the chipper hoppers pretty good. we have an echo and a shindaiwa, both about 80cc's. They operate flawlessly aside from a split fuel line in the last 7 or so years, wish I had got onto them sooner

Has to be the husqvarna 525BX for me. Handle is inline with the outlet so you don't get aches in your wrist if your using it longer periods unlike any of the stihl machines. Really low vibration to 1.2m/s again much lower than the stihl. If you get any of the other 525 husqy kit it all uses the same engine so same filters etc.

I have the 525 blower and combination unit. Great engines, only problem is my Husqvarna combi can spills fuel every time I fill up either, but it works fine on all other tools?! 😒

I had a 2004 bg55 and chopped it in for a bg86. It felt like the older one was better but was told that may be down to the different nozzle end I am using. But does the job fine- no backpack blower but then it is loads easier to transport and store. Think I paid 130 for the new one trading in the old one.
