Hi. My walk behind blower just quit working on a job today. I have $500 to spend on a new blower. I was wondering...what would be the best to get for that price. Thanks.
Is it a billygoat? If so, I have a 10hp did this to me and I replaced the spark plug SEVERAL times which got me a few hours of blow per plug... Ultimately the problem was a partially leaking head gasket.
Murphy, might it be possible to take an engine off something else just to get you through leaf season, and then look for a deal on an engine when things get really slow? I'm assuming its the engine and the wb isn't completely shot.
How powerful will the back pack blower be.........also the wb isnt worth putting a new engine on it...its pretty messed up
Get a new redmaxx, i use it for fall clean ups and i can use it in the summer for lawn service.You get the most bang for your buck when buying a redmax backpack blower.
The small Little Wonders as well as the small Billy Goats are useless for cleanups. A good backpack wil move as many leaves as these do, sometimes more. If you're only going to spend $500, I'd spend it on a backpack. My first choice would just be get a new engine for your existing blower of if the blower itself is in good shape.
