Ever since I bought the BG86 3 weeks ago..I've always wanted to have a STIHL backpack leafblower. I was turned against it because the price for a new entry level backpack blower the BR420 magnum (the 380 isn't sold here) was $580 before tax.
I was on kijiji (like craigslist) the night before (July 3rd, this was filmed on July 4) searching for STIHL trimmers (curious to see what was being offered, an FS-106 and FS-85) and typed in leaf blower for the fun of it. As luck would have it I found this BR-420 for the half the price for a new one. I emailed and called the owner so I can take a look at it.
When I went there, he told me The model was 5 years old, but it looked amazing for its age. I tried it out before buying it and was very impressed. The guy rarely used it (had only used it for 2 years). So decided to buy it for $275. He threw in ear muffs ($80 value), 5 cartons of 2-cycle oil and a gas tank for it for free !! Awesome.
I've no regrets buying the 86. The trick is to be VERY PATIENT for things to come up. So for the price for the New Backpack, I have 2 very powerful units. Specs are 57cc rated at 3.55hp and has 172mph blowing speed.
