Stihl BR 200 BR Blower

[Ric]

Anyone used the BR 200 back pack. I'm thinking about getting one and wondered if anyone had any thoughts. Cost is $279.00

Well he already has the Stihl BR 550 and the BR-380, so he has already gone big! :tongue:
The BR 200 is a homeowner blower, not professional, so it won't be as powerful as your 550 OR 380. But if you just want a smaller one, compare the 200 to a handheld blower and see what is better in price and features.

Oh i had no idea he had the 550 and the 380!! my bad. the 200 is good if you want a homeowners blower. its nice to have it on your back instead of in your hand.

Yeah, it's in his signature.

Ric:
Why do you want another blower? Just to blow off grass from the driveway? Just wondering.

As you know my business is a family business it's the wife and my son that works with me. I was originally thinking about the BG 86 CE with (459 cfm) hand held for her but I thought that the BR 200 (cfm 406)was close to being the same as the 86 and would be a nice unit for he wife because it only ways 12lbs instead of 22lbs and the cost is nearly the same in fact the 200 is a little cheaper.
The problem is that often when finishing a yard one of the three of us is will be waiting for the others to get done and if it's one thing I hate it's to let people see someone standing around doing nothing when people are paying you to work.

All the reviews that I read say there 5 stars and people (homeowners) seem to like them real well, they say they do a great job for them. How the thing will work for me I don't know but I think I'm going that way and see.
