I have recently purchased a forestry grinding/mulching machine and it always needs cleaning. This is not for my thorough cleaning, but when I spend more than one day at a jobsite without bringing it home, I want a blower I can use to remove some of the debris.

Is a back pack blower more powerful than a hand held?
I want one that is STRONG! and reliable.

Who better to ask than you lawncare pro's.

What do you recommend?

How much do you want to spend?

Most powerful period--redmax8000 at anywhere from 450 online to 550 at dealer

Runner up -- Stihl BR-600 ~500 at dealer.

The Redmax 7001 or Redmax ebz8000 are good powerful blowers.

I looked at the redmax. Isn't there a 7000 & 7001. Same for 8000 & 8001. If so, what is the difference in the 00 and 01?

Get the BR-600 there quiter and nicer to use. They have the same if not more power then a 7001 or 8000 the way they rate the power is just differnet. They are also atleast 10 pounds lighter! and around same price/cheaper!

I can't say that they for sure start eiser. I have herd that it is hard to start the other blowers. Stihl started in 1 pull for about a month. now it takes 2 but thats becuse I changed the gas mix a little for better start in cold. Id find a stihl dealer and go try one out. there fun :)
