HUSQVARNA 525BX Petrol Handheld Blower. Review. What next?

HUSQVARNA 525BX Petrol Leaf Blower.
This is my review / opinion of my Husqvarna leaf blower.
It’s not a paid review, ( I wish! ).
I hope this helps, if you are thinking of starting your very own gardening business or possibly upgrading your equipment.
In short, I think it’s an absolutely brilliant piece of equipment and something that I wouldn’t be with out.
The question is, what next?
I am looking for something with a bit more power for larger leaf clearance jobs during the autumn and winter months.
The HUSQVARNA 525BX Petrol Leaf Blower is amazing when working in domestic gardens and small commercial sites.

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

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.

[@maxwellsgrasscuttingservices]

Cheers David, great advice.👍🏻

[@tgsgardenmaintenance4627]

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!

[@maxwellsgrasscuttingservices]

I agree it’s far better than the Stihl. All the best.

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

[@maxwellsgrasscuttingservices]

Cheers Scott, great advice. Watch this space.👍🏻

[@dagtailgroundmaintenance]

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.

[@maxwellsgrasscuttingservices]

Thanks mate, I have seen you using the snow scoop. It’s on my shopping list. All the best.👍🏻

[@douglasjones41]

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

[@maxwellsgrasscuttingservices]

Thanks for that, just bought on, watch this space.👍🏻

[@ParkersGardens]

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 👍

[@maxwellsgrasscuttingservices]

Thanks for the advice. Your spot on. All the best. 👍🏻

[@dylanjones2839]

Echo blowers meant to be good look on you tube

[@jamesshanks9338]

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. 👍👍

[@maxwellsgrasscuttingservices]

Thanks Jim , great advice . Your so right two of everything. All the best.👍🏻

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. 👍

[@maxwellsgrasscuttingservices]

Cheers for the advice, appreciated. All the best.👍🏻

[@frankholehouse1393]

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 .

[@maxwellsgrasscuttingservices]

Thanks for the advice Frank.👍🏻

[@colinsmith16]

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

[@maxwellsgrasscuttingservices]

Great advice.

[@scissorsharp9032]

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.

[@maxwellsgrasscuttingservices]

Good choice! All the best.

[@timward3912]

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

[@darrenupton5500]

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

[@maxwellsgrasscuttingservices]

Thanks Darren, as always great advice.👍🏻

[@treecutter1806]

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

[@maxwellsgrasscuttingservices]

Watch this space , new blower just arrived.

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

[@maxwellsgrasscuttingservices]

Thanks Marcus, eBay/ Facebook market place are great towards the end of the season. All the new guys realise how hard it is and sell up. All the best.👍🏻

[@jolyonbrooks2898]

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

[@maxwellsgrasscuttingservices]

I bought the br 600. Thanks for watching and your comment. It’s a brilliant piece of equipment. 👍🏻

[@funkyduckproductions.8844]

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 .

[@maxwellsgrasscuttingservices]

Thanks for the heads up. I will avoid the BR 200 and go for more power.👍🏻

[@mcpheesgardeningservices]

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 .

[@maxwellsgrasscuttingservices]

Thanks Jeff , as always great advice. I am leaning towards a professional Stihl model. Looking forward to seeing a new video from you. All the best.👍🏻

[@jasonhewlett1283]

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 .👍

[@bobbelsekwol]

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.

[@maxwellsgrasscuttingservices]

Thanks for the advice, I do like Stihl.👍🏻

[@funkyduckproductions.8844]

@@maxwellsgrasscuttingservices My only concern with stihl. Well actually it's not just Stihl. We as professionals still rely a lot on two stroke engines. In this day and age I think we really should be moving on. Two strokes are noisey , more polouting, high vibrating, less fuel efficient and don't last as long as a four stroke engine will do. In short, in my opinion, and I stress, my opinion. Two stroke engines are yesterday's technology. Time to move on I think.
