4 cycle handheld leaf blower?
Original Message   Apr 21, 2005 7:11 am
Anybody knows which manufacturer makes them in 4 cycle?  So far all I can find are 2 strokes. Thanks.

I've never seen one either.  I'd be willing to bet there is one in the works somewhere coming soon.

Exmark 48inch & Bridges 36inch walkbehind, Scotts 21 inch walk behind mower,Husqvarna trimmer and blower, Echo PE200 edger,Weedeater & Stihl HL45C hedge trimmers,Echo CS440 chain saw and a Stihl HT101 power pruner, and a El Cheapo pressure washer.

Mint's, what model Echo Shred'n' vac do you have?  I have the Echo ES-230 and I like it.

The smell is fine.... I actually like it. Reminds me of my younger days.

Being that all our other OPE are 4 cycle, I do not want to have another extra gas container for mixed fuel. More chances of error. If you know what I mean.

I believe I saw that John Deere now has a hand held 4 stroke leaf blower.  I cannot remember the model number or where I saw it, but I'm sure you can find it on www.deere.com.

John Deere GT 225 and 2305

Husqvarna 340

Honda UMK432LTA Trimmer

Bombardier Outlander 400XT

Briggs & Stratton Powerwasher to clean them all with.

It appears the only model Deere has in 4 cycle is BH25LE

Ryobi has been making trimmers with 4cycle engines on them for a couple years now. However, I don't think they amount to much.

Hi all

Honda make a 4 stroke blower... It is powered by their GX25 Over Head Cam mini 4 stroke.

I upgraded from a Ryobi 31cc 2 stroke on the weekend.

I am in Australia and would assume it would be available for sale worldwide...

Would never buy a 2 stroke again....

Hope this helps

Cheers

You all are lucky in that respect, they don't offer it here in the US. Looks nice!

Good onya mate!

We don't have that here though I wish we did. Maybe next year?

But the price is a killer though. At current exchange rates, that would put it in the US$ 390 or so range. Ouch!

Good heads-up. Thanks.
