LOL, how many 361's do you own?
I own the perfect number of 361's.

So let me get this straight...I send you the 85, and you'll send me back an Efco Ergo????
SWEET!!!!!
Address please!
Efco Ergo????
I own the perfect number of 361's.
I own the perfect number of 361's.
That number...is it perfectly round?

I like the way you think.
Get a room
Get a toupee.
Belgian,
Will the SH86 raise the skirt of your neighbor's daughter higher than the SH85? We all await your report!
Part of the problem is the Stihl tube is not only sized incorrectly for the inlet itself, but it's sized incorrectly for the amount of vacuum pressure and velocity generated by the motor. The Toro can be held just over the pile, and it has the velocity to grab the top layer and shred them systematically. The Stihl, on the other hand, has too large a tube, with the resulting drop in velocity, so it practically has to be jammed onto the pile to pick up anything, and when it finally does, it grabs a huge chunk and nearly stalls. The result is that the leaves don't get shredded as finely.
Overall just not a well-engineered unit, which is why Stihl is updating it. It's orange and white, so others will sing its praises to the rafters, but don't believe the hype.
so there was obviously no design improvement needed...
Woody, I don't get it. It seems logical to me that a smaller inlet tube clogs up faster than a wider one
Or are you suggesting Stihl should decrease the diameter of the inlet tube to increase air speed ? Fas as I can see, the diameter on the new model is still the same, only the attachment is different, so there was obviously no design improvement needed...
Thanks to everyone who replied! I wasnt expecting quite that firestorm!
I'm saying that the combination of velocity, airflow, and tube size is out of proportion ...
If I were you, I wouldn't be talking about woodie's iq when he makes such monkeys out of you Stihl boys.The only improvement needed is in his head. A IQ of 50 holds him back. Example: The long screwdriver.
It may seem like a firestorm, but in reality everyone on this thread actually likes everyone else*...we're just givin' each other the business. Ya gotta get used to that on this board!
Except for Tom T. Hall...no one likes that outhouse-dwelling scroundel...
