Questions & Answers

Bought this machine less than 3 years ago. Easy to start and has great power, however once you shut in down it will not restart for hours no mater what you do. So I have to rate this machine as a 1 star.
This is a pro grade blower. I have had a 125B for yrs and this is way better. Lots of power and easy to start. The only issue is this thing gets HOT. While running you can manage the heat to your hand, but when turned off there is no air flow to cool it and this thing actually gets hotter for a while on top til it finally cools down.
I loved old design stihl tools,(BG86), but heard enough bad about new ones that I saw fit to look elsewhere. I also had great luck with redmax trimmers in the past. I found this Husqvarna blower, (exact same look, specs as redmax model), and figured I couldn’t miss on the price. Bought in late 2018, used on light snows and by late spring, idle is out of adjustment. I hope that’s all it is. I now see also that I need a special tool to fit adjustment screws. Not impressed if this is what Husky/ redmax has become since Husky takeover. Never had such an issue with older stihl, echo or redmax tools.
