Description
Overview of the Troy-Bilt TB2BV EC
- Power: The Troy-Bilt TB2BV EC is a gas-powered blower with a maximum air volume rating of 450 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and an air speed of 150 MPH.
- Handling: Designed to be handheld, this blower offers excellent maneuverability, making it effortless to carry and use for short periods. Be aware that, at 12 lbs, the Troy-Bilt TB2BV EC is on the heavier side of gas-powered handheld blowers.
- Engine: The engine boasts a displacement of 27cc. While this engine has a traditional recoil starter, it is also electric start capable (JumpStart Drill Bit not included). Given its 2-cycle design, it's essential to mix gasoline and oil correctly for the unit's engine. The proper fuel ratio set by the manufacturer for the TB2BV EC is 40:1.
- Speed Settings: With its variable speed settings, the Troy-Bilt TB2BV EC allows you to precisely control its air output. In addition, the blower is also equipped with cruise control, with which the user can easily maintain the selected settings.
- Vacuum: One notable feature of the TB2BV EC is its ability to transition from a blower to a vacuum, enabling users to effortlessly gather leaves and debris into a detachable bag (12 gallon bag included).
- Mulching: With a mulching ratio of 16:1, this mulcher can shrink 16 bags of leaves down to one bag of mulch, helping you get rid of unwanted leaves and debris.
- Fuel Tank: It has an average fuel capacity for a handheld blower, with a tank that holds around 12 fl. oz of fuel.
- SpringAssist™: The Troy-Bilt TB2BV EC benefits from the proprietary SpringAssist™ starting system. This system allows the operator to start the leaf blower with a slow and steady pull on the starter rope, which greatly reduces the pulling effort needed.

Questions & Answers

worked fine the first couple of times I used it then while using it, it gradually slowed down and stopped. it kept doing this several times & finally took it in for what I thought was warranty work but when it was repaired found out it needed a carburetor kit which apparently isn’t covered under warranty. Spent as much on shop fee as it’d cost for a new one. Do not buy this blower.
