I need to ask this, what's up with the prices of these attachments? I love Stihl and what they offer, but I was looking to add a HL-KM 145 deg 24" hedge trimmer attachment when I saw that it is $299! This is the same price as the gas powered HS-45 hedge trimmer. Three hundred bucks for an...

Sorry for the late reply, thanks for the info.

Looking for the torque spec for these two bolts, thanks.

Looking to add this to my KM-110, not sure if I should go with the 20" or 24" version. Has anyone used them and if so any drawbacks to the 24" like weight or balance? Would the KM-110 be strong enough for the 24"? Thanks!

Just curious if anyone has these torque specs. Thanks.

To update this....I did end up with the 8010 last week, I agree it’s quite comfortable and the shoulder straps feel better than the Stihl. I was debating the BR800 for quite some time...as a disclaimer, I’m not trying to bash Stihl....just tired of waiting. A few years ago I was hoping the...

Coincidentally, I saw a video of someone doing that...but I'll pass..lol I tried on the 8010 today, felt real comfortable, has the upgraded flexible portion, very easy to swing back and forth..may pull the trigger this weekend. Almost $100 cheaper than the BR800.

Fall cleanup is about 1/3 through its cycle here. Trees are still turning and we have done a good bit of cleanup. We have a Trac-Vac 880 and I will pack that thing full at least 15 more times...gotta love the woods. I did look at the 8550 which shares most of its heritage to the Husky 580 Mark...

I agree it could be awhile, it's tough to drop $680 on a blower that's at least 3rd in line as far as performance. Looking past the noise of the 8010, and the some known issues with the Husky blowers, I know the BR800 is a solid unit and would serve me well. It's just the fact there has to be...

Ok thanks. One thing about the BR600 is I can wear it for an hour or 2 and it doesn't bother me a bit. I would much rather have the power than think that I'm a bit more comfortable but taking longer to complete the same job.

This will be to compliment the BR600. My son loves to take the BR600 and clear out some leaves, having a 2nd hand is surely welcome. I love the BR600 for it's break-out force but has lost it's edge to the more powerful competition.....still a competent blower. I was looking at the Echo PB 8010...

What attachments are causing this? Are they Stihl or the aftermarket Ryobi/Troy-Bilt?

Sorry to bump this thread, I was disappointed in the BR700, Stihl really needed the 800 when the 700 came out. I feel they are late to the game again. That being said, I still have my BR600 and am contemplating the 800. What would be great...how about a BR900 with at least 250 MPH and 1200 CFM...

Ok, thanks. Sounds like it's not running at full rpm, what is the operating range/limit and does it have a rev limiting coil?

Looking at my buddies blower, appears to have a replacement carb. Looking at the adjustment screws they looked smooth on the top is there a special tool for this?

I'm not fond of the extended length tube to incorporate the nozzle, looks rather cumbersome especially in tight areas. I would also rather see a machine thats capable of those numbers on brute force alone. With what's available now, it appears the performance levels have almost plateaued and...

My dealer said it will be avail in January, looks like the hip mounted throttle is the one avail in March.

I actually have a few dealers somewhat close to me, looks like the end of leaf season for the release but here's some info. Seems pretty impressive, the tornado tip boosts the CFM but it appears to work well based on the dealers experience. I've never heard of Maruyama, but they seem to have a...

Suspense is killin me btw. ;)

Would this be the rumored Echo?? I will surely be keeping an eye on whatever makes the news.
