I know this was posted in the saw forum a while back but I didn't want to dig it up. After reading the thread I am very interested in the Redmax 8000 but have a few questions in regard to the Stihl BR600. When you look at the specs of the Stihl it gives you velocity w/ tubes and w/o tubes. Would this be the nozzle you can slip on the tip to tighten the air pattern and increase velocity (but reduce CFM) or is it the whole tube? Does Stihl measure the CFM w/o tubes at the housing where you would need a tube anyway for it to work? My 420C Magnum works extremely well and has a ton of power but the 600 can crush it. I assume the 8000 is at the nozzle and if so that's some serious wind, makes me wanna clean the 420 and hit the bay.
