Petrol blower

[Guss109]

I'm looking at getting a petrol blower but not sure which one to get. I've narrowed it down to either the sthil bg86ce or the makita. Is the sthil a two stroke? I know the makita is a four stroke. Any way what do you guys use and would you recommend it? Look forward to your replies and help.

Yeah the bg86 is a two stroke good piece of kit for a hand held blower

Ditto, plenty of power, very smooth AV.

Go for the bg86ce As you will only need one fuel can and some body is bound to put the 4 stroke mix in the saw! Save your self the problem now rather then later. Im no use with Blower numbers But i had the low powered one hated to use it,it was the bad sold it 1month later not use on witch on i have now with out going to look at it

Cheers guys looks like the sthil it is. Good point about just needing one fuel can

I bought a bg86ce couple of months ago and have been very impressed with its power/performance. It does seem to get very hot after a little whiles use though so I would be wary using it all day .

Cheers mate wouldn't be used for long periods just for the clear up when I'm finished. If you ever need a hand mate give us a shout

i use a br420, compared to the handhelds the backpack ones are a lot better. the br600 is the top model now and is very powerful!

 

i like the ability to shift more, especially sawdust that has been rained on on tarmac and flags that wont move, the blower does a good job at shifting.

Been really struggling on my own lately. I desperately need to get in touch with someone locally as my usual hand is a bit out of reach now although he tries his best to assist me.

P.S .. I generally dont mix with your ' macho arb types ' but if your a genuine tree/nature person who takes health &safety seriously I would be interested in teaming up on a job in the near future with you .
