You gave me a idea for my Rc car thanks mate hope your well ,

Thank you for the review hope to purchase one soon

Great videos

Hi, I am a new subscriber, great channel. For 28 years I have worked for the council has a gardener and groundsman, few years ago I asked one of the lads who started in the 70s what piece of equipment has changed the job for the better. He said the blower, leaf clearing and tiding up done a hell of a lot quicker and looks smarter. I prefer the backpack blowers to the hand held ones due to more power.

Since I started watching your channel I've bought a new mower and other bits to do my best to keep my lawns in good shape. Seems a leaf blower is next! :D

Hey Rob, your looking super cool. Great video as per.

Hi Rob. I've always found the hand held blowers good enough for all jobs. I use the snow scoop/broom to loosen up compacted leaves and debris and bag up as I go along blowing towards the dumpy bag.

I have one, and in my opinion it is the best hand held blower on the market! I bought it's much bigger brother to go with it, the Husqvarna 580 bts, perfect combo for me!

We have a stihl 600 backpack blower also. Great powerful machines.

I got the same bow and I agree with you it a great bit of kits I got a mate that had a stihl backpack br600 and he said it was a great bit of kits but just been given a makita back pack and he highly recommended it over any backpack blower out there, I got the stihl combi engine high end 130 and the blower attachment and that my back back up for now and it amazing

Get the Kombi Blower attachment or go demo the head got one first class very light

When we first upgraded to a backpack blower it was amazing, especially for the autumn. Outside of autumn we still predominantly use the hand held held ones. Our current backpack is the Stihl BR800 which is fantastic. If you're conscious of noise, try and get a 4 stroke engine as opposed to a 2 stroke as the noise they make just seems less intrusive than the 2 stroke ones. I'm pretty sure the BR600 you talk about is 4 stroke as all the top Stihl ones seem to be. All the best with your purchase 👍

I used the husqvarna 125b does my jobs rod love the videos

Hi Rob. Yip, two of everything or three sometimes. I have two BACKPACK BLOWERS. Both STIHL. BR 350 I tend to use them more Autumn, Winter time. Again Rob it all comes down to your judgement brother. Remember the bigger the engine the more weight you carry on your back!!!! Regards Jim from J.S.G.S N.IRELAND. 👍👍

Great video Rob! I still use my hand held Stihl blower! Lol I'm to cheap to buy a back pack blower!

That husky is a gd blower, albeit a bit choked down in the exhaust department (modifying it improves it loads). The stihl br600 is a great backpack blower mate, dont bother going for anything smaller as its not worth it imo. 👍

Over 500 subs buudy 👍

Hiya Rob the worst mistake I ever made was to buy the Makita MM4 EB 7660 TH back pack blower 4 stroke used it for 30 minutes and that was enough for my back very very heavy and bulky bought on line without doing my research been stuck in the garage for 12 months .

3:18 that's a nice edge brother.

Personally i think one of the smaller backpack blowers would suite you i think the br600 for what you need will be a bit bulky the 350 weighs less and would fit in your van better, I use hand held in summer back pack in the fall and winter I have the br800 but I do a lot of big car park

Get the Stihl BR600 magnum it’s a lot more powerful than the BR500 .And when your Handheld Husqarvana packs in you should try the Stihl BG86 regards Colin

You’ve probably decided by now but the br600 is fantastic, it is a little on the bulky side but still good… I found you because I have a bg86c that is driving me crazy so I’m looking at the husq525 as an alternative.

I’d of for the most powerful you can afford that way it’s never a regret 😊

The husqarner blowers are hard to start for a lot of folk so they end up cheap on eBay I got mine fir 30 quid and put a new carb in it and follow the instructions to the letter for starting and no problems. Great blower but I do have a red max back blower which is a lot more powerful a again second hand on eBay for 100 quid and works great loads of power

Stihl backpack pal. Go for the biggest they do. I have the BR 700. You wont regret it.

Great machine rob.i use the sthil 86.both great machines.

husqvarna is my preferred choice their back pack commercial are arwsome top model 75 cc blow the skin of a rice pudding including the enamel of the dish lol . I thought maybe that you have satisfied with the husvanna hand held you would look at their back range . What ever brand you choose i would always lean to the commercial models as they have superior filter systems. the power of these machines blows up a lot of dust so filter system has to be good .The bottom range back packs are cheap and nasty. in summary get the top of range if it fits the budget anyway Mrs Rob won’t know the difference lol although they are harder to hide . Also they do take up a bit of room so have a good look at your van set up .

If your looking for a all round use back pack blower buy the Br600 The overs in that category are to powerful or to weak If your looking for a had held blower for maintains. Maybe look into the husky 525ib With a bli300 battery

Bg86 and br700 both quality

The BR600 is a standard machine that the council parks and gardens department use. They've stood the test of time. Getting hammered every day. You won't go far wrong with one. If that's your choice. On my own gardening learning curve I once bought the BR200. Don't you make that mistake. Utter crap! In fact I've realised I'm not a fan of backpack blowers in general. But that's just my personal opinion. I've very recently dipped my toe in to the world of electric cordless machinery. For regular light residential use only they are okay. But don't really have the ooomph for the heavier jobs. I've got a DeWalt blower. And a Worx strimmer. The strimmer is so light and small it looks and feels like a toy. But it does the job. The blower is not as powerful as I'd of hoped. But again, on regular residential stuff, does the job. Both are incredibly light Which earns them both a place in my arsenal.......for now at least .

The Br500 is a 4mix machine so quieter, the one I used wasn't that great. I thought the br 430 had more poke . Not used the br600 however. Try before you buy .👍

💪🏽🇬🇧👍🏽

525bx is easily the most powerful handheld mate, i run a stihl bg56c and a br600 for the bigger jobs

Rc car gets leaf blower POWER MPH??? #shorts

Did you used to work in a call centre in Heaton?

I thought my Stihl hand held was brilliant, then I was advised to buy a back pack blower. So £600 later with a Stihl 600, wow, hardly touch the hand held now. Try another gardeners one. Or a dealership maybe. You won't be disappointed.

that 525bx is by far one the most powerful handhelds out there, so yeah your best option is a backpack.

I use mine to blow out my bungalow gutters ,duct tape and a 90 degree drainpipe 👍

I'm going husky battery

Not as good as my stihl handheld im afraid.

Don't get the stihl bs 500 back pack there crap I hade one.. The stihl bs 600 is way better tho cut the pipe back about 4 to 6 inches to stop kick backs 😎
