comparing backpack blowers | fall clean up

[@jeffreymarks3724]

Great video, thank you for setting that up. I have the Red Max 9000 now and am happy with the power and comfort, however I have had extensive issues with the engine. Increasing the throttle causes hesitation, and even an occasional stall. Dealer serviced it a few times and reset the codes, but can’t find a solid problem. I used the Echo 9010 for 2 years and it was great, but used massive amounts of gas. The Red Max is far more efficient, comfortable, and when running properly, is extremely powerful.

@@jeffreymarks3724 I too have noticed a little hesitation when throttling up, but haven't experienced a stall yet, hopefully the dealer will be able to iron out that issue. But aside from that I've been in love with the 9000!

In California they have banned gas powered lawn equipment. Can you believe that shit. Chainsaws, BB etc are all not possible to get shipped and are being phased out across all outdoor equipment stores. So my neighbor took his happy ass to Vegas and won an echo 9010h at a game of black jack. I hear he can’t wait to run it on his 2 acres with 28 oaks. May be the last of the Mohegan’s. Lucky guy.

I had 580MK1 but had give away because got Frozen Right Shoulder so could not Start it so had get BR800C as can Start it Left handed

[@paulhusky580bts]

Here in UK we only got BR700 BR 800 & Husqvarna 580 MK1 & Echo 8010 because Emissions so never get 580 MK3 or Echo 9010 or Redmax 9000 or Husqvarna 590

@@paulhusky580bts wow! That's terrible.

[@chadschrum1753]

Sthil for me

[@markclark1605]

My choice is the sthil br800x because its comfortable and less weight. The echo has a heavy tube that other people notice as well. All of the blowers are really good. Like my 5yr old br800x.

[@benjaminleslie3155]

@@markclark1605 I agree the stihl br800 is by far the most comfortable, and yes the echo tube is pretty stiff and doesn't have a lot of flex like the others

[@paulhusky580bts]

Wonder if Ebz9000 motor made in Japan like Previous Redmax & Husqvarna they where made by Komatsu Zenoah as Redmax & Komatsu Zenoah owned by Husqvarna & they used be owned by Electrolux who do white Goods like fridges washing Machines

[@benjaminleslie3155]

that's a good question, I'm not sure. all I know is that it is indeed a strato 2 stroke like all the other products.

[@paulhusky580bts]

Look up Husqvarna 580bts Blowing Leaves with My. Name 6yrs it shows Nozzle 580bts MK1 comes with

[@paulhusky580bts]

Looks like 580 MK3 tank Smaller than Mk1 here that 2.6lts which same as new Redmax 9000 the BR800c is 2lt here me found out Husqvarna tubes if put on Fully you can’t get off alone because tubes so large even someone in USA on KZbin found same problem

[@benjaminleslie3155]

well I looked up the specs of the original 580 and converted liters to ounces and it's the same. 2.6L = 87.91fl. oz.

[@Thedonron12]

Great video! I love my Husky 580 MKIII! I tried the 9000 but I liked the overall comfort/tube of the 580. The 9010T's tube was not comfortable and would wear on my arm quickly. BTW the 580 MKII fuel capacity is 87.92 FL/OZ per Husqvarna website. I usually get around 1.25-5 hours of run time full power when doing cleanups.

[@benjaminleslie3155]

oh wow you're right, i just checked and yeah, the husqvarna is 87.92, so the tanks on the the redmax version is smaller?! wow I did not know this. thanks for the incite! 😁

[@alejandroavila1092]

I own 3 husky 580 bfs they move anything and I can honestly say I’m getting very comfortable with the ebz9000 was a little different at first because of the tube was shorter but shoot that power really makes up for it and I’m getting the leaf clean up’s done faster with the ebz9000 then running 2 580bfs ..

[@JaLynHarris-f6b]

Have you ever tried the Echo PB-500T

[@benjaminleslie3155]

no but I know it was a very popular blower back in its hayday

[@JaLynHarris-f6b]

The PB-9010T won
