#Echo #BackpackBlower #LeafBlower - Навчання та стиль
When I seen that initial path made in the thick leaves I was immediately sold. My poor old Stihl just doesn’t have it in her anymore for heavy duty stuff, still runs great, but being out in the sticks this thing would save me so much time during peak fall leaf season
Yeah it's definitely a beast! I ended up mounting it on the front of my Grasshopper 721D. If you haven't seen that video, check it out. It was a heck of a combo
I bought this blower last fall, love it! Best blower
Just got the 9010 a few days ago. Actually was looking for stihl 800x but they were on back order. Saw the 9010 there, tryed it on for about 5 seconds and said yep il take it. Got about 3 tanks run through it, absolutely love it.
Use Aspen or Stihl alkylate fuel with Saber or Interceptor oil. Burns clean and allows the engine to scream to the max. Enjoy.
@@laurapalmerTDGE Is that any different than the 2023 model 9010 or is it the same? I'm looking to by one too now...was looking at the stihl 800ce but that needs more maintenance..plus coast more and less power but reaches 239 mph tho....I'm not happy with my ryobi 760 cfm 175 mph...2nd one I got in 3 months and still having problems starting it. I'm returning it for 9010...what you think?
And hows ur 9010 runing?
@@goovitoo Hello.
Above all, you have to remember that with a 9010 you get about the most powerful thing you can imagine, and that this should in no way be compared to Ryobi.
A Stihl BR series requires little maintenance, possibly having the valves adjusted if deemed necessary. Other regular maintenance such as filters, spark plugs, etc. That's all.
The 9010 has a simple engine architecture, i.e. two-stroke, with which little can go wrong. The Spark Arrestor can become clogged if the wrong oil and/or fuel is used. It is therefore advisable to use the correct fuel. Also, if you use the engine sufficiently wide open, the exhaust will reach temperature and then the carbon will burn.
Don't hesitate, a 9010 literally offers you everything you need.
@@laurapalmerTDGE I use hi octane gas with 50/1 oil from echo
Guys. We never grow up, our toys just get bigger and more expensive.
Truer words have never been spoken...or in this case...typed.😎
No shit. It costs a lot for me to have fun good... old fashioned guy stuff.
I feel like a kid in a sweet shop looking at this
Haha, I can relate!
I picked up an Echo PB-7910T on 1 Dec 23. Uses the same engine as the 9010 with smaller fan unit and lower CFM but higher velocity. Damn thing will blow rain back into the clouds.
Haha that made me giggle. Love that phrasing. Interesting notes about the motor/fan. Makes you wonder if they could take it even higher!
haha, got to love it when we get a new toy. That blower has some power.
Hey now...that's a critical tool of the homestead...not a toy!😅 It's definitely a beast!
Thanks for the information 👍
No problem 👍
Echo has always been the best
It's a monster!
@@IndyFarmLife I have a 20 year old echo still making money.
Does a great job Here in Edmonton Alberta , it does a great job in snow , and we ran it in -30 just make sure you keep it running as the gas line is exposed .
Definitely great tool to have !
Awesome! We didn't get much snow this winter (thankfully) so I didn't get to test it out. Glad to hear it works well.
Impressive price too!
I really like the hip throttle, I have a red max 7500 with it and I feel like they are way more consistent on the power when you push all the way down and leave it
I like the hip throttle as well :)
Personal preference i guess
Got an instant like because of the Ford shirt.
Ha. I'll take it!
i have the 8010t i use it every season and it still works prefect :)
Is your Echo still running strong? Any issues?
@@jonpenguin303 yes sure is :) no issues at all :)
This was a very good presentation of how the Echo PB 9010T works, and what it is capable of when blowing across various things in your yard, aside from leaves. That is a great blower! If people don't want to hire a landscaper to do your yard leaves, then the Echo PB 9010T backpack leaf blower may be what you need. If you don't have very large foot tall leaves in your yard, you may be able to do you leaves with a smaller/cheaper backpack or handheld leaf blower. Some brand leaf blowers last longer than others, so do your homework there. I have a smaller Echo PB 2520 that works good for me. I think Echo is a reliable brand. I think the key to getting rid of leaves in any yard is to determine the amount of leaves in your yard first like by the height or density, afterwards try to figure how much 'Mph' and 'Cfm' you will need in a leaf blower to completely remove the leaves from your yard whether they are wet or dry. Dry leaves are easy to blow and move, but 'wet ' leaves absorb the moisture of water and gain possibly 2 to 3 times or more of the weight of dry leaves. Wet leaves are hard to blow, move, and even rake! The higher the Cfm and Mph of any blower, the better chance you have to completely remove your leaves. All leaf blowers are not created equal, and the amount of CFM and MPH varies from each brand/model of leaf blower. I hope this info helps anyone viewing my comment here, because it took me a while to learn and understand all of this MPH/CFM technical stuff. I wish i would have knew it sooner, it could have saved me many hours of leafwork in my yard each year!
Thanks! Yes. To keep it simple, find the highest CFM/MPH you can, and you are in business! The PB9010 has both. Just for fun, you should go look at the specs on the 3pt tractor blowers. They are insane!
@@IndyFarmLife Ok. Thanks for the info. I will check that out.
@@IndyFarmLife i checked the info on the tractor blowers. That was incredible! Never known of them. Have you heard of a 'Turbine' or 'Hurricane' blower? You can ride a Hurricane blower, and some put out 8500 CFM at 165 mph with 35 HP!! A Hurricane blower can cost up to $10,000. I just never realized there were so many types of blowers. There are other types of blowers also, may be too many to mention here though. Those blowers are timesavers though.
I have the Echo PB-580T, really impressive blower, it actually looks pretty comparable to the PB-9010 in regards to moving leaves. I just moved about the same amount/depth of leaves this past week. The 580 does not have the reach, but it still gets the job done. Just for you folks on a budget.
I had the 580 and I upgraded to the 9010. Let me tell you it’s a nigh and day difference. This unit will get the job done in half the time. I’m my opinion spending a couple hundred more bucks more is a no brainer to save yourself a few hours a week of your precious day off is worth every penny. My only regret is that I didn’t buy the 9010 sooner. The 9010 just clears a much larger swath then the 580. Kinda like going from a 42 in mower deck to a 60 inch deck.
I have the Shindawa in this trim. ❤
my BR600 crashed and burned. the infamous piston pin seizure
bought the ECHO..
YEP it's as good as they say it is
actually has too much power but its great when you need it
Nice! Not for the faint of heart! Ha.
I purchased my first leaf blower last year from Lowe’s I even figured I’d get the upgraded version because this will be the last leaf blower I’d ever purchase. I feel like I wasted $500.
It does not kick ass like I expected.
I wondering if there’s anything I can do to increase its output. I’m considering fashioning a tube to extend the blower wand so the output is closer to the ground (maybe that will make it more effective)
220 mph is a cat 5 Hurricane. So yeah it should move anything and everything
Mother nature must have a trademark on the word 'Hurricane.' Otherwise, I think this should be renamed ha
The reason for the hip throttle is durability only. The tube throttle is easy to break and then your blower is down.
FINALLY a review where they dont just run their damn mouth constantly and ahiw half ass peeformance skits. This was the review i was looking for. I currently am working 3rd shift 10pm to 6 am and have 2 magnolia trees amd 9 oak trees from previous owner. The leaves are outta control and making my yard look ratty. I purchased a P.O.S. middle of the road model Husq off marketplace and it SUCKS man. This is what i need because those magnolias drop year round and the leaves are half foot thick in some areas. When i get up i dont need to stand and ine place 5 damn minutes and swipe swipe swipe swipe to move a half ass amount of leaves then have to go over it again and again and again. You showed me what this baby can do amd im going to get one this weekend.
I can't believe I missed this comment! I'm glad it was what you were after in a review video. How has the 9010 been treating you? Hopefully it lived up to the hype?
lazy me I prefer a Bobcat sweeper bucket, The back cooling idea on the blower is perfect for here where winter never comes.
Haha let's trade! Although my lawn may not appreciate that too much🙃
@@IndyFarmLife If you lived close you could use it anytime. I don't have much lawn anyway thanks to the ducks.
I just got that blower and it's a complete game changer. Night and day from my last backpack blower. that I thought was great lol. Makes any job 10x faster. Save your money on any other blower and get this!
It really is amazing isn't it? And if you didn't see my latest setup with the blower, let me know what you think about this.
ua-cam.com/video/JQrYmZ30e9s/v-deo.html
Other than the Ford shirt, great video !
Hahaha..a sweatshirt I had to get dirty
Hmm both links say item is unavailable. Am in UK and seem not to be here. I may get the 8010 but not ruled out the sthil 800 c yet 🤔
I got ride of my 8010 and got the 9010
On cold start with mine, I have smoke coming from exhaust till it warms up, does your show that on start up?
I don't seem to have it on idle, but I do when I first lay into it before it's warm. Seems normal to me
I wish it had the hip /waist /chest belt /harness. So is all locked in !
Agree! That would be an easy upgrade for them to make. If you pull it tight though, it doesn't move around too much
I have tried to add chest and hip straps with some success. Both the pb8010 and pb9010 slide around on your back without cross straps. Awesome power though, makes cleanups much faster around a lot of trees.
Yea the power is definitely worth it. The manual does say that if you put on a few beer lbs that it will fit better. 😅😅
I know you showed it blowing walnuts. But I have way more than a handful, like hundreds. Do you think it would move them pretty good
As long as they aren't mashed down you should be good. I have about a dozen walnut trees. They don't blow like leaves, i.e. you can't blow them from 25ft away, but yes, it will move them. You saw the asphalt right? Ha
SHINDAWA 4 LIFE❣️
It's the same blower just different design,they are sister company of echo,
2:45 it was at this moment I was sold
You mean it wasn't the floating asphalt? Haha
@@IndyFarmLife nope. The first swipe of the path
Haha. It's an impressive machine. More than 2 years later I still love it!
@@IndyFarmLife I just spent 300 on a Husqvarna, so might have to wait til 25 now. 😭😭
Now that’s a blower
Sure is! Its got some kick!
You should use as your second blower something like an EGO 765 or some stupidly strong handheld unit. You'd be able to blow away everything.
Haha. Would be a good workout to try to actually move forward with both of them going.
@@IndyFarmLife running two blowers isn't hard, but I dunno, I'm used to it by now. It does move alot of leaves.
@@IndyFarmLife Oh, apparently, you ran both in the video 😂 It's very doable with the hip throttle. I can have a drink and use my phone with the hip throttle 🤷♂️ Equipment dealers will tell you that the hip throttle cable lasts longer than the tube throttle, but I guess if you take care of it and don't get it caught on things, it'll last just fine.
3:07 it seems Marvel superhero
Hahaha. Help me come up with a good name?
Did y’all start that tornado yet??? 😂😂😂
Haha we haven't, but I really think we need to! Keep your eye on the news. "Local Men Manufacture A Tornado!"
I’m looking to get a walk behind, is it worth it? My property is 5 acres dense trees. During the fall, I blow and collect with the lawn mower every other day. My blower is not the powerful. If I wait longer, leaves can get wet due to unpredictable weather and it’s a real pain to blow.
I almost bought a walk behind, but then realized I would be sacrificing maneuverability. Sure, you get more CFM, but if you have a lot of trees to navigate around and you want to take it into areas that aren't wide open, it gets a little tough. That's why I went with this.
I have the 9010 and two 8560 and one 7500
You have your own wind factory! ha
Of COURSE it's better than a stihl 🤣 Sounds better, too.
It really blows! ha
Stihl are the best products
Do you run your blower in the rain? Looking for experienced input before I start doing leaf cleanup in the rain since it's basically been raining every day locally and leaf pickup coming to an end.
I’ve had mine out in light rain. No problems
I haven't had it in a downpour but in light rain it's fine. The air filter has a good cover on it. It should be just fine.
@@IndyFarmLife do you like the new leaf blower
Like is an understatement. I love it. It's a monster!
@@IndyFarmLife what does it sound like
Kawasaki made a blower in the late 60's that had a 125cc engine with a 6 inch nozzle. Can I say nothing made today that would be able to smell the kawasaki fumes. PERIOD. Just one problem, the workout you got just holding and using it was a real workout. Shame my neighbor burned it up with straight gas. I never seen another one since.
That's incredible. I would defintely love to see one in action.
@@IndyFarmLife The unit must of been a industrial tool. Some of the tools from the past are second to none. just regret my father is the trusting kind. This neighbor is a jerk off for sure. He broke things over the years. GOOFBALL comes to mind name wise.
I own both matter of fact I just purchased the Stihl 800 .. it feels lighter , as far as power. I have tested both .. stihl is more powerful , tested both with pushing car batteries Stihl won by a foot and a half .. there both great blowers my employees always pick the Stihl over the echos .
Good video thanks for sharing . Have a good day
Ahh nice! Pushing car batteries, now that's how you test a blower! haha I love it! Yea, hard to complain if you are handed either of those units. Everyone has their preference and that's quite alright by me! Hope to see you around the channel!
I have both and the 9010 is no question more powerful in any real world situation, not even close. I don't even use the 800 anymore. Have you actually tried this with leaves etc, or just wanted to say that Stihl is better? I don't care about what name is on what, there is no way the 800 competes with this thing in the wild, you never used this or you wouldn't be claiming that.
"He says with authority!!" 👍
Would this blower be enough to blow away a duff layer in he woods?
It may take a while, but yes.
is this blower to heavy for kids? i might bye a new blower some people say get the biggest blower u can afford. what do u think
What size of child? 8 to 10 year old? Too big. 15 to 17 yr old could probably handle it if they are bigger.
@@IndyFarmLife 14
how does warranty work when buying through amazon?
You would want to register your product with ECHO.
What part of Indiana r u from ??? I'm in the Mishawaka area
Nice! Channel name says it all!🏎
Just need the engine and fan of the 9010 and put it on the Stihl 800 frame, straps, and adjustable tube on C version and you've got the perfect blower
Mad scientist over here! :) I like it!
It's possible,just look at the bolts pattern,it's better than a 4 mix that has big power but top, bottom end engine failure in the long run.
So is it good for acorns?
Absolutely. I would even say it's good for acorns that have been dipped in concrete!
Please don't start a tornado 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I can't make any promises. It will at least be controlled chaos.....I think! ha
@@IndyFarmLife you are a funny guy 🤣
How much is it??
Click the link below the video in the comments for the latest pricing.
Power is great but ergonomics and cheapness in plastic have made many others stay away. Bare minimum mod that needs done is a buckle on the chest straps to keep them in place. If you can live w that and the cheap plastic you will be happy but till they step up the game in quality/ergonomics stihl 800 is a better choice imo.
Ehh, I haven’t noticed any problems with the quality of the plastic. I’ve seen one review where someone complained about the straps, but that hasn’t been an issue for me either. I haven’t bothered to weigh them, but the 9010 definitely feels lighter than my 755. Stihl makes great products, I’m just not a fan. For the price and performance, I’m sticking with Echo.
What u want a billy goat on your back the weighs 150
^^^^This guy gets it! If I was Lou Ferrigno you can bet money I would be hulking out with 3k CFM on my back. Watch out kids, daddy is in tornado mode again!
Plastic is everywhere these days. My John Deere 4052R has a poly hood and I wouldn't trade that machine for anything. Everyone has their preferences and that's ok. For me personally, I'll take the extra power/performance (+20% over the BR800) to sacrifice a few creature comforts. The chest strap would be helpful, but the shoulder pads on the 9010 are pretty nice. Thanks for joining in the conversation. I always like to hear other opinions!
Straps seem fine to me. I would imagine the biggest complaint Echo may get is from those users who are under 150lbs! This thing would be tough to wrestle at that weight. ha
Stihl 800, stronger , lighter and more powerful and I own both.
How do you figure? The Stihl is lighter, but the Echo wins in all other categories but for air speed. It has 198 more CFM and 7 more newtons of force. I'll take the couple extra lbs on my back any day.
31 pounds? wrong.....its 26 lbs ....
Maybe that was the shipping weight? I usually don't make up numbers ha.
