Stihl BG Handhelds

Stihl's handheld blower are stronger than some backpacks! Light too! As you move up the model lineup, you gain output power, and also amenities such as rubber hand grip, rubber feet, and 'cruise control'.

For those who struggle with starting 2-stroke engines Stihl's Easy 2 Start is available on a variety of machines, including trimmers, chainsaws, and cultivators.

Model BG 55

Easy Start principle:
When you pull the rope, a spring is wound, and when the spring is tight enough, it will turn over the engine for you. You no longer have to pull the engine over fast! 

The hardest part for some people is just pulling over the engine!
Most Stihl backpack blowers utilize the new 4-Mix hybSTIHL 4-Mix Enginerid engine. It is essentially a 4 stroke engine that runs on 2 stroke (premix) fuel. The technology can be found in backpack blowers, string trimmers, pole pruners, and more. We have found many advantages such as:
  1. Higher torque engine
  2. Quieter running engine without the 2 stroke 'wine'
  3. Better on fuel
  4. Easier to pull over when starting
  5. Can turn unit at any working angle and it will continue to run.
  6. Does not have the added weight of 4 stroke engine oil since it has no oil reservoir.

4 Mix engine technology is a wonderful thing on this backpack blower. It sound different, more of a lower pitch, because of the engine type.

There are a number of 4 Mix models to choose from.  For more information on how they measure against other brands in terms of weight and fuel usage, take a look at this!

 
Redmax has the stratocharged engine. The idea is to scavenge unused fuel from the exhaust and re-introduce them to the combustion chamber. A fancy way of saying it 'recycles exhaust'. This engine technology is used extensively in their backpack blowers and string trimmers.

We have various size Redmax machines to fit every need and budget. But our personal favorite is the Redmax EBZ8500 backpack blower. It sets the standard in power.

One important note: You should never borrow one of these machines... you will get spoiled quickly. Everything else falls short... and you just HAVE to buy one for yourself!

 

Redmax EBZ8500

EBZ8000 image
With a 75.6 cc displacement and 4.43 horsepower, the EBZ8500 produces a maximum air speed of 206 MPH with tube air flow approaching 908 CFM.

Best part? It lost weight!  It only weighs 24.7 lbs!  This is only a bit more than a pound more than it's little brother.

 

You have to watch BOTH  MPH  and  CFM.  One without the other is worthless.

We say this: buy the biggest, baddest, meanest leaf blower you can afford! Forget the toys, we're talking TOOLS. Get a real machine that will get your job done quickly, and easily. There is nothing more silly than using a leaf blower that is slower than a rake!  We don't twist your arm, we just try and tweak your thinking!

You will never come back and thank us for saving you a few bucks, but you just may stop by raving about how well your new machine works!  I know, because it happens all the time!
