Redmax 8500 Backpack Blower

[Tucker943]

Used one not long ago. Wanted to put it in a good word for it. The thing was a mean son of a gun. Real mean. I seem to think meaner then a Stihl BR600. Just throwing this out there to anyone that is in the market for a beast of a blower. Cant speak for longevity. But, the thing did start easy, after a year of professional daily use, and ran like a thief. Not as comfy as Stihl back pack blowers though. Its loud and rough for sure. But if anyone is after all out performance, this thing takes all. That's all I have to say about that.

Ive got one and love it

Its a freight train from hell isn't it? I was shocked.

I might have to check one out.

Compare specs with BR600. If specs are accurate, you'll be surprised. Not a Cadillac. Like I said, rough and loud. But your rakes will see far less use with one on the job. That's for sure.

rough and loud.

That's how I like em.

Being a refined and suave European, I'll stick with my BR 600

Stig, Husqvarna could come out with a cure for the flu and you would reject it!
