My name is Josh and welcome to Life of a Camp Ranger! I maintain a summer camp in New England, I have been doing property maintenance for over 10 years. I want to show what happens at camp all year round not just in the summer when Summer Camp is running.
I've found that having both is the way to go. Echo has power vents in the back which use the blower to keep you cool. It's a game changer on long or hot days. Sadly, echos grips never ever stay in place and the gas tank sticks out way farther than it needs to. Very annoying when you dip behind a bush and smash someone's siding or downspout.
I admire his effort despite knowing little about plumbing, but I would be embarrassed to make such an atrocious video and posting it for the world to see. Most video’s of this type are made to educate a DIY individual on how to correctly fix or install something. Perhaps the video should have been named “How Not To Fix A Plumbing Problem”
It definitely be could be a simpler set up but I was on a time crunch so I copied what was already there. I might go back and replace it with pex one day.
This was abandoned after our boss left because we just didn't have time and it was taking way to long. The new plan is to cut a new trail where there isn't a swamp.
I had the first Husqvarna 580BTS model (not Mark II or III) and still have the Echo PB8010T. I sold my 580 to my cousin 2 years ago when I bought the Stihl BR800C for his part time tree service. Great blower and still running great even though he leaves it in his truck bed and it is severely sun faded now. I imagine it will not last if he keeps doing this. I prefer the Echo and the Stihl over the model 580BTS I had. The Echo definitely blows more leaves faster. The Stihl with its high air speed and lighter weight is nice for harder to remove debris.
I would like to try the Stihl to compare it to the Echo and Husky but I feel like they are all very similar. Hopefully I can get a side by side comparison of the Husky and Echo to really see if there is a differance.
@@LifeofaCampRanger the Stihl is nice for it’s weight, adjustable chute (allows for a very wide blowing pattern when retracted) and the side start. I think other than curiosity there is no reason anyone would buy the Stihl over the two you have.
Wow , the camp it washing away! You have a big job in front of you to fill in the holes. Good job! Thanks for sharing! Have a blessed day! Keep us posted on the progress !
The funny thing is it's the middle of September now and it hasn't rained in several weeks and watching your video now and it's raining. Now that's funny right there. Good job young man.
I'm a Husky person when it comes to backpack blowers. Ive had them all, and like everything about a Husky better, most importantly the durability. They have outlasted all my other ones over the years. Not to mention, I love their style. I also never use all of the blower tube extensions. I leave the middle one out. The only downside is they're the loudest out there but my earmuffs fix that so not a big deal.
I am a fan of the Husky but I also like the Echo, I would buy the Husky again without even thinking about it because I cant tell the difference between the two. Always wear headphones with tunes to pass the time.
I didn't do the original install and the "Plumber" that did the original work went out of business shortly after they finished this job. I'm just a guy that had to fix it on a time crunch.
I’m in Calif Coast and Sierra Mountains. I never had any trouble with propress and Pex A …. Pex A is good in extreme temps cause of expansion abilities. I use Vega brand….
That's just how fast the air is coming out of the pipe. What you go by is the CFM rating , which is how much air is coming out of the pipe. MPH means nothing really.
I’m no plumber but at the 1:20 mark, seeing that monstrosity of propress system no wonder it leaked. Fewer is better. Clean up your angles. Damn! 😂 To add. I love propress for what I’ve used it for so far. But jeez, that set up gives propress a bad name.
If I had the time to rebuild the whole thing I would have but I was in a rush so the easier thing for me was to just copy the disaster that was already there. I don't hate prepress the tool is just to expensive for non plumbers and if its done improperly it sucks to fix.
We have this exact same machine... thanks for this vid! Had to replace our sensors. How do you properly do a clean/clean cycle/descale on it? We do clean ours, but no idea if we are doing it correctly.
We are only open through the summer so we don't have as much scale build up but I typically use CLR and then rinse everything down really well and then discard 4-6 batches of ice.
I have the Husqvarna… I chose it for three reasons … I got it for a better price and my Husqvarna dealership, here is amazing. Everything else is Husqvarna .. and the strap and harness on it are far more comfortable… I’m a backpacker and that makes a huge difference
Your video help me a little bit. There is a cover that goes across the two sensors and rest on it. It is kind of a shape and with it in place the ice will not hit the sensors
