I believe this is the best all around blower on the maket today. It isn't the biggest but he is very dependable and will last you a life time.

Oh by the way it won't start on the first pull something buy always on the third pull.

I've owned a Shindy (parts too expensive) and it was OK however I currently have a EBZ8000 Redmax that is my best and most powerful blower. It ain't light but it is my first choice for heavy work. I also own a Stihl BR600 which blows well and is lighter than the Redmax and a little more slip stream designed. You still have to be a man to run one. It is my second choice and is a decent machine however this is the older one. The newer designed Magnum addressed some of the issues with the original version. They all run on Amsoil 100:1 and 87 octane and I use them both in different situations.

Stihls are very good, but I lost mine off the back of my truck. Since there was a new Husqvarna dealer in town a few blocks away, I bought their 500 series model. It feels lighter, and more comfortable and has tremendous power. I wouldn't overlook it...I think the company just bought out Redmax.

They actually bought them out several years ago.

They are awesome blowers. I love my 570 BTS. It is noticably stronger than my BR600. It may be a few pounds heavier, but it feels much more comfortable after several hours thanks to its superior harness design.
