John Deere BP60 Backpack blower?

[joed]

Has John Deere come out with a new BP60 blower? If so, what are the specifications on it?

[GCS LawnService]

John Deere BP60
Engine Kawasaki 59.2 cc
Windspeed 201 mph
CFM w/o tubes approximately 700
CFM w/ tubes approximately 500
Cost $430.00

I can not locate the BP60 in any of the John Deere literature or @ www.johndeere.com. I saw the BP60 at Hedden Tractor Company in Winchester, Tennessee telephone (931) 967-5144 salesman Jason Allman. When I saw the BP60 I bought it instead of the BP50 that I was considering due the BP60 being stronger and not that much more expensive.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the input GSC. Sounds like the BP60 is similar to the Kawasaki EB700. Still nothing is close to the Echo PB650
