Auction blower

[Stephen Blair]

If you were at the apf there was the new 'special accessory' for the backpack blowers esp the 600: a cowhorn handle. This is a godsend as the 600 will rip your arm out of its socket when you first use it if your not used to them. Even the guys on the stihl stand said you could tell the lads who used a 600 all day as their right forearms are about twice the size of their left forearms (slight exageration, but not by much). The 4mix engine is a lot quieter than a two stroke due to the lower engine tone and the fuel consumption is less than a two stroke, i filled mine to the brim on wednesday morning, still got half a tank after doing 3/4 acre of garden.

 

is it like strimmer handles, they are in the new stihl catalogue, have you seen the electric start on the back pack brushcutter, now that is clever.

Yeah just like the big clearing saw handles. I don't know about the electric start, i think it will probably be a stuck in the back pack models and not be found in any other models, nice concept though, saves taking off the back pack to start it up again but then i can be pain lazy when it comes to things like that:001_tongue:

I think the difference in air volume is the fans so id guess buy a br600 fan and that might increase the airflow.

 

They could have restricted carbs not sure.

 

Again really good machine no complaints worth every penny
