Le Comte de Frou Frou
I needed a new backpack blower so I shopped around a bit and, as amazing as it may sound, Stihl won over Echo and Shindaiwa because it was cheaper.
And here it is.
To satisfy my mordid curiosity it's made in the USA:
I have about a hour and a half on it to date, so what are the first impressions?
First, it's heavier than any other blower I've used, so be sure to spend some time adjusting the straps. Second, the flow is completely different from the Japanese products I am accustomed to: it feels like a super BR600. Not much volume but more air speed than you can possibly imagine. It will require a few hours to re-adjust my brain.
Third, despite the displacement it uses very little fuel. The joys of 4-Mix.
Fourth, this thing
It will take a century getting used to it.
