My 5 yr old on a Shin batt unit

 

That’s awesome! I’ve got a small Dewalt similar to that and mine use it for the trampoline lol.

 

I bought that same blower for my boys when they were 5 and 7. A little big for the 5 year old but the older boy was a good fit. They're older now and the youngest gets the 200with ease at 7 years old and 4.5 foot tall.

 

I bought a BR200 for my then 8 year old daughter. She can't pull-start it, but handles it just fine when running. And she's tall & lanky. Take off the extra discharge pipe - It'll make it easier to swing, and just generally easier to use for them.

Biggest trouble is with HER blowing everything off to my standards. But we'll get there.

If you have the $300 or so to spend, and want to, then buy it. He may need help starting, but it's a totally feasible machine for kids.

 

I remeber the days of my parents having to start everything. No matter what they were doing, or when, I would ask them to start my stuff. Good days man

 

Thank y’all for for the replies, I definitely feel like he will be able to use it now.

Thank you all again for the help!

 

I never knew that there was a br200
The smallest one I have seen at my dealer showrooms floor was the br450. In thinking .That if I wanted a 200 I have to order it

 

It's a BG50/55/56 engine mounted on a backpack chassis. Same performance as their handheld.

 

I can’t believe you guys will post pics of your kids online.

There are psycho’s out there. One kicked off here in the last few days.

I will posts pics of myself, but that’s about it.

No pics of my kids online, especially the girls.

 

I got one for my 8th birthday. Great blower for someone that young. It got my used to the basics of how to use a blower, and the tips and tricks involved. Using it taught me how to service a blower as well. If your kid wants to work, its a great option. Plus, I've never had problems with mine outside of spark arrestor screens.
