CFM recommendation. I have a half-acre yard. TONS OF PINE TREE(Norway spruce) a a few maple trees. I currently have a corded Toro which I think is 350 cfm and barely Moves Squat well maybe so so ) I’m looking to upgrade but not break the bank( I want under $400, but I’ll Go up Some of for the right one. Looking gas . I need powerful enough to blow entire yard wet leaves, pine needles and my BIGGEST CONCERN is powerful enough for Norway spruce pine cones. They are quite heavy pine cone.. what cfm minimum do you recommend. I saw one that was 765cfm for $349. I like the price but…is that enough. I want job to be easy. I saw another 890cfm, but it’s $479
I bought a bright green "2 Stroke" gas can from Seaflo. The nozzle design on it works surprisingly well. I was able to modulate the fuel going into the tank without too much difficulty.
Oh, modern gas cans, where do I even start? It's like they've taken something simple and made it the most frustrating part of the day. I mean, what was wrong with the old gas cans? They had a cap, a spout, and that was it. But no, we had to get fancy with safety features that seem designed to make you spill more than you pour. You'd think the whole point of a gas can is to make it easy to transfer fuel without causing a mini-disaster, but these modern contraptions are like a puzzle box from hell. There are locks, latches, buttons, levers, and sometimes all at once. And let's not forget the flexible spouts that seem to have a life of their own, flopping in every direction except the one you want. It's almost like these things are designed by someone who never had to actually use one. You have to hold them at awkward angles, twist your wrist in unnatural ways, and simultaneously press a button while praying you don't accidentally turn your driveway into a slip-and-slide. By the time you get it open and start pouring, you're either exhausted or cursing at the top of your lungs-or both. And don't get me started on the flow rate. It's either a trickle that takes forever to fill anything, or it's like Niagara Falls, splashing everywhere except where you need it. Then there's the inevitable gas smell on your hands that lingers for hours, despite all the washing and scrubbing. And the worst part? It's all in the name of safety, but the spills and stress these things cause are anything but safe. In short, modern gas cans are a complete headache. They turn a simple task into a chore that tests your patience, dexterity, and sanity. Whoever thought this was a good idea needs to go back to the drawing board and remember that sometimes simpler is better. Seriously, give us back the gas cans that actually worked!
The carburetor does not have a float or bowl. If it did you could not operator the machine at all different angles. Great video demonstrating assembly and starting!
learned a lot about the function of a Husqvana leaf blower
I have this unit, got it back in 2016 and running like a horse. Good choice on your part.
This thing is awesome 👍
Nice video. I just bought the 560BTS. Hoping for the same results as you.
Thanks, that was the best assembly video I’ve ever seen.

I had this blower returned it 2 weeks later. Hard starting and bogged down alot. I bought the sears bp510 $100 less and its great
Craftsman blower is absolutely dog shit. I'd rather use a broom than one of those piles of shit
I would like to see how it straps on. I'm extra large wondering if it would fit?
Been a good blower always starts 1st or 2nd pull. Put a lot of hours on ours

Nice, haven't seen one of those. I'll have to check it out
I have that exact gas can for my 2 cycle and i also have the exact feeling's about it😂
100%
You shouldn’t have asked them to come out and blow the leaves til they were all down. Thanks for the video. Long live the 2 stroke!
I asked them to come after the leaves fell down, but they were traveling out of the country for Christmas so they did it early 👎
Two years later do you still recommend it? I've been going back and fourth between this and the Echo.
Yep, 2 years later I would still recommend it
Nice. Clear job on how to assemble. Thx buddy. I got a nightmare gas can like that too . What's up with gas cans?

Nice video 🔥

How much did the landscapers charge you for there service?
Maybe do this in your garage or house where it's warmer?
Assembly was about 10 minutes.
Leaf blowing on the other hand was over an hour 😔
50:1 pre mix fuel followed instructions on how to start and still won't start.... will be taking it back tomorrow
I hate those gas cans with a burning passion 😂
Terrible
i got a "SureCan" worth EVERY penny
Im between this model and the Ryobi 175mph.
I cannot get that gas can to pour.
I have to take the nozzle off...
Terrible design
3:10-3:12 you sounded like you were over it
Was 100% over it. It was freezing cold and the plastic wasn't cooperating.
I edited it out, but that was probably the 3-4th attempt 🤣
That looks like a gas can straight from California 😢
Terrible design
Exactly what happened to just pouring gas what a stupid design
100%
