Stihl BR 200 BR Blower

Thats probably what i would do in your circumstances.

Ric, as long as you understand that the 200 is not a commercial unit and you are using it as a quick finisher or backup, I would recommend that unit. One thing I have to caution you on, NEVER run this unit without the nozzle on. Doing so will change the air flow through the unit, causing the engine to burnout. I have seen many of these units comeback destroyed when customers don't follow this rule. Otherwise they are a great unit.

Oh I know it's not a commercial unit but I run the HL and HS 45 Hedge trimmers and there not not commercial units and have always done me a good job. I've always base my decision on equipment by who will be using it and the amount of use the units well receive. The Stihl Home Scraper unit is good equipment and can be IMO used commercially if used in moderation and do a great job. As far as removing the nozzle of the unit, I've never done that with any unit unless I were replacing some part for one reason or another.

That looks nice! Thanks. :thumbsup: I wonder why he is selling them if they are almost brand new?? :confused3:

P.S. I am probably going to just buy new from a local dealer....but THANKS!

I really didn't think you would buy these, I was just pointing out that you should keep an eye on Craiglist because there are some good deals on equipment right now because people are wanting Christmas money and you also have these guys that will be going out of business and won't be back next year.

That is true! I usually buy handheld equipment new from a dealer but when I upgrade to a larger mower, I will probably be looking on Craiglist. Next year I will demo the Exmark Commerical 30 mower to see if I like it. If I do I will probably buy that, and then my next mower would probably be a stander--like the GS.

Well I went down to the shop and guess what, I came home with a BR- 200. The thing seem to work great. The BR 200 has the same engine as the BG86, but I think it will is a lot easier on the arm & wrists for the wife. It seems to have plenty of power and not much vibration at all, you can't hardly feel it running but I guess that maybe due to the fact I'm used to running one of the others. Will get to use it before the weekends out on the job and will see how it does and I'll let ya'll know.

looks like a solid unit. anything stihl is good. that would be a good blower for me to get, it looks like it would be a great all around blower, since i do leaves in the fall.
