I have a small lawn care business and I am looking at purchasing a blower to clean off the road and driveway quicker and easier. I also want it to be light and relatively quiet. I won't use it that much, I would only use it for probably 10 minutes each day. What brand would you recommend? Echo? Redmax? Others?

Sthil all the way I bought the br 600 witch is a back pack blower. They also have a great commercial and residential blowers. I know someone who uses the residential blowers for his company and they never give him problems. Every one I know with Eco has to screw around starting them. Hope this helps

At work we have a echo from HD the cheapest one they had and it's goin on 5 trouble free years. We also have a Tanaka that's two years old and is running like junk right now. Also have a cheap craftsman thats going good for about three years. I bought the same craftsman blower for home cause it was on sale for $89. Been great no problems.

Used to recommend Stihl, but have found Echo to be easier starting and using.

Your asking about what brand blower to buy, I agree with Quality lawn Service Stihl is one of the best if not the best on the market. What type I would recommend (Hand Held or Back Pack ) would depend on how large a client list you have.

I would personally recomend back pack if you plan on increasing your business size. Message me back if more questions.

Stihl br600 just be sure to get valves checked every 100 hrs after first about get valves checked after 25 hrs! It's a pain but nothing blows like the magnum!! I blew up 2 brs last season now I am a freak about getting my valves checked I'm sure your local stihl marketer will advise you of this as well!
