Not sure on the exact h.p. (4 cyl). I do know that you do not want to stand in front of the 16" suction tube. :eek:

Thought about using the our walker plow, but this does work great. I think next I am going to build a leaf pusher for our walkers over the winter.

That doesn't look like a BR-550, looks more like a BR-420 Magnum or other Stihl 2 cycle blower. Not a 4mix though.

lol I HATE when they do that crap! lol I have THREE EBZ8001s and one day I was on the leaf plow and one of the guys goes and pickups my BR400. I stopped and told him if I catch him doing it again I'm gonna cut his pay by $2hr lol he said "si, boss"...never had the problem again. :hammerhead: :) lol
