Nothing else comes close for blowers. Love the power of my 4mix FS130 but you can’t really use that torque in a blower applicationYep, That’s the better blower.

You realize valve adjustments are from wear, right? No other small engine with valves require them adjusted as frequently as the 4 mix engine, or have as severe running issues when they go out of adjustment. Valve ressession goes to crap, seats get pounded in. Don't have these issues on real 4 stroke o.p.e. engines.exactly, it takes about 5 minutes to do, ive had all my 4 mix stuff over a year atleast and never once needed a valve adjustment yet
depending on the machine its 1 or 2 pieces of plastic to take off, then one bolt for the valve cover, tighten up the gap at TDC to spec and bobs your uncle
if someone wants to complain about that they probably are too lazy to run the tool they are maintaining anyways
4 mix is fantastic, dunno why everyone hates on them
I've ran hundreds of gallons of fuel through 4mix engines and never had an issue with any of themJust pay attention to who says what and it all makes sense pretty quick.
I use these things everyday of my life and have none of these problems these guys talk about..and under not so friendly conditions..
"But my pappy said"...
"My 3rd cousins friend said"...
"Jim Dog told me so"...
It's junk..trust me..I only burn 5 gallons of mix a year..lol !

Well a big blower sure enables you to save time, and then you could take on other customers who want leaf cleanup the timing is in your favor! Your move! I have one of the push behind blowers with a Honda, and it is awesome for cleanups.No. But still. there is no need to buy a big machine for one yard.
My company has several, and we use them all the time. They do require more mechanical expertise to keep running than a 2-cycle. In my opinion, that is somewhat offset by how well they start, how well they run, and the fact that they also don't seem to get plugged mufflers and exhaust ports, as do the 2-cycle engines.
There's an offset for nearly every advantage, isn't there?
Philosophical argument: If we were to remove all the advantages of every new feature that comes along, we'd probably be swinging axes with stone heads tied on to split sticks with deer sinew.
Have a BR700 for 6 years now , use it weekly been flawless, just got the 800 , I do use ethanol free fuel , and a quality synthetic 2T oil, witch I attribute to the performance over the years ,
