Need new handheld leaf blower

[Likesaws]

You have a MM4 back pack....MM4 Makita/Dolmar hand held would be worth thinking about.

Yes thanks forgot to update but I ended up purchasing the Makita MM4 like this one. Purchased from Nate (f150) Great guy to work with just call on phone got it to me at a great price too.
Great running blower I like it a lot.

Good outcome.
I rate the MM4 motors , Keep the air box and filter element clean of any separated oil, plus regular oil changes are a worth while practice .

Husqvarna 525BX is my new favorite.

Simon there’s a new kid on the block 2kgs lighter than the big back pack blower
And actually more powerful and a good price

Hi Andrew.
Like the sound of that 2 kgs saving over the 7 thousand model (I assume) . Is this a new model of the 5 thousand blower that they already make ?

The Stihl bg 50 is really light and can handle quick movements. I have a green poulan that was super cheap new with better specs than Stihl, but it will rub the fan and bog if turned too fast.

The EB5300 and EB7660 are the current model backpack blowers available in the US right now.

Available with left and right hand throttles.

I gotta port me a redmax 8500 sometime. I'd like to make a custom dual pipe 4 fan 170cc backpack sometime.
