BR 600

Just added the Br 600 to the arsenal. Wouldn't have thought there was that much difference between blowers.

Not really, Just got it this afternoon, I went to only one job and the wife got to use it before me and she switched back to the 550 because she said it was to strong for her and sidewalks :smile: she said it blew crap all over the place, said it was great for driveways and the road. I hope to mow some in the morning and I'll know a little more then but for the time I did get to use it this afternoon it definitely seem to have all the power I think I'd want.

That blower is very powerful for any application. I only have one problem with mine and that is where the tube connects to the housing behind the handle it comes loose every once in a while to the point where it disconnects. I have tried adjusting the tightness of the collar on the connection but it still works it's way loose. If you could let me know if you have the same issue.

I run Four of the Stihl Back pack blowers and I've never had an issue with any doing that. Now I haven't run the 600 only a few minutes but if something or that becomes an issue I'll let you know for sure and for sure it will go back to the shop and be fixed or they'll give me another. Spending the type of money you spend on one of these it should be right. Is yours coming apart in front or behind the Flex tube or the elbow at the housing?

You need to buy her the BR 200 Back Pack she would really like that one, the wife likes hers. it's not quit as powerful as the SH it's only 406cfm @ 132 and the Sh is 459 @ 154 or she may like the BR 350 better. Women seem to gravitate towards the BP blowers, I guess it's a control thing.

It's coming apart I front of the flex tube. It will stay together for many times of use and then just come off. Not a big deal only a one minute fix. I just want to know if any one else is having this issue.

That sucks! I've always wanted a BR600, but they are expensive! I bet that thing can blow off sod!

I see what looks like a KM56 on your trailer. Do you like this unit? I've been thinking about getting one as a spare trimmer or if ever we need two on a job.
