Blowers Echo 650 VS Stihl BR 550
Original Message   Apr 24, 2005 7:19 am
I have been going back and forth as to the  blower that would be best for me.  The stihl has a nice design to it and I know people that have good luck with older Stihl blowers.  The Echo is nice  for the reason that it produces almost 100 cfm more than the Stihl. I am going to go and put them both on and see if I can find one that fits better than the other.  Does anyone have anything to say good or bad about these two blowers.  The dealer I plan on purchasing from sells both and recommends the Echo.

Thanks Marshall, I will let you know how things go in the future.  The rain has stopped for now so I am going to go out and play some more.

Speaking of blowers and water (rain), I use mine to dry off my Snapper after a wash and to blow the dirt, dust and grass off of it too. Matter of fact, I have found so many uses for my blower that I think it gets used more for things other than blowing leaves.

Blowers are nice toys aren't they Marshall?    Almost as much fun as a motorcycle.

AJace, yes they are. I don't know if I would go that far though.
