I have been fighting a echo blower that was ok
it is just flat wore out so time for a new one!
I went down to local still and husky dealer and
he had the biggest that both make after comparing
the two and talking with the dealer I bought the
BR600 and I have got to say it is a beast and I
do like it a lot. :popcorn:
 
I have used a BR600 before with the local mountain bike group in my area and WOW does that thing have power. I never found anything that gave it a fight. We were using it in over a foot of snow!! It seemed very well built to me and not insanely heavy. The only downside it has is the price

Yes I could have but I compared them both and chose the stihl
and so far am happy with it.
I still like my husky saws but if I seen a better one spec and
performance wise I would buy it, that is when I need a new one!
I know I rant over husky and that is definitely my saw choice now,
but remember I used to like stihl's and changed and would again if
I liked stihl better.

LOL it's only money and to me time is money that blower
the echo was costing too much time the br600 will save
me time on cleanup and made good sense!

Tried to rep ya on that one Rope,,,, but it wont let me,,,, so give me some instead!!!!!!! LOLOL

Congrats on the Blower,,, Listen to Lake,,, spend the extra coins for the Ultra or a really good synthetic,,,, your new machine will last alot longer!!!!

And yes that BR 600 will flat move some CFM infact for those who have never run one you have to really lean into it to walk forward @ WOT,,,, that puppy will move some air and refuse,,,, No doubt about it,,,,,,,,,,, wear some good Eye PPE

What, no love for the Echo?

The echo I bought five years ago as my wife was working
with me and could not handle a backpack! I have to say it
did a great job for the money and still runs but needs carb
rebuilt and my time is very limited did fourteen take downs
last week and cleaned up! I have eleven more scheduled
and a bunch of small jobs to get done before them and more
coming in every day I am wore out and don't have time to deal
with a problem. This is what I wanted as had a slow summer
but now am too busy but I will try not to bitck!
 
Ok now i see but volume is not as much as
the BR600 yes the blower costs$ but if I get five years out
of it I will be happy. I have got to say the dern thing blows
harder than I thought it would!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not even sure I should touch that one:monkey:
