I've watched plenty of vs videos on these two blowers and this is by far the best of the bunch, nice job guys. I have a lot of Oak trees so I'm going with the Echo. Got ten years out of my 770 so why not!
place a sheet of plywood or two on the fence to create a ramp, then send those leaves over the fence. This would eliminate having to push them through the small gate.
I would personally choose the stihl. While they are harder to work on and the parts are dealer exclusive, Stihl has a better design, and I like how all of the cables and wires are enclosed. Ive never had any issues with my Stihl equipment.
8010 is more powerful than he br800, period. I own the 8010 and have owned the br800X and the 8010 also runs longer on a full tank of gas and has no valves to adjust. Just straight 2 stroke muscle.
More power isn’t always better, lasts longer maybe because the tank is larger. I had the 800x and switched to the 800c-e and found it to blow even better, oddly enough the engine and Specs are same. I would never want to give up comfort, lighter weight and sidestart.
I really can’t make my mind up bud. I need a BIGGER pack back come fall. I run the husqvarna 570 now. I love it. The husky 580 mark II is out now as well it has more cfm than stihl 800 but not as many mph. I like the side start and telescoping tube on the stihl. Man I just can’t decide. Echo is pure raw power though for sure
I liked the test but those leaf's are light compared to the one's here in South Texas with these Oak trees we have I could put those two blowers to the test and we could find out which is really better.
I really liked Stihl for the longest time too, but the reason I stopped buying them is their proprietary parts. For example, my Husky chainsaw blew a fuel line on a Sunday. So I ran back to my shop and installed a new line that was an industry standard size I had in stock in 10 minutes. Similar situation with a Stihl trimmer, failed right in the middle of the job, and my dealership was closed on Sunday so I was sol till the following day. They don't take normal fuel line, so you can't go to any old hardware store for the part like all the other brands. Small example, still great equipment, I would just rather have the ability to repair something and get right back to the job.
This is so true they try to be the Tesla or lawn equipment. Therefore making everything harder to work on the all of the plastic stuff you have to disassemble to do any maintenance. Echo is much simpler in any of my experiences and also sell a lot of replacement parts at your local Home Depot!
@@rogerslawncare7260 You dont have to dissasemble much for maintenance, but yes they are harder to work on. I still like Stihl over Echo, I think Stihl has a better design.
I liked the video but those leafs are wet good test but they should do one of those test here in south Texas where have the oak tree leaf's when they are wet that would be a really good test but in my opinion Echo all the way Stihl chainsaws are the best in my opinion.
Who is the rookie? Echo and stihl are 4 years behind.so redmax/husky will prob just up the game again soon.the mark 2 and 8550 are larger tubed and competitive to those.they should have pushed 100 cc lol
I'm selling my echo 8010 blower, it's very powerful and I love it but here's the reason I'm selling it. It is so new that the parts can only be ordered through echo and they are expensive. Just the carb costs $110, vs $14 for a whole carb kit with carb, fuel lines, filters, gaskets, etc on ebay for my redmax 8500. That being said I'm going to get rid of the 8010 and keep my redmax. Maybe I'll get another 8010 2 or 3 years later after the parts have surfaced on ebay cheap for the 8010.

For the last tens years sthil has drastically gone down hill in every way I'm changing all my equipment to echo expect the chainsaw at least sthil makes a good chainsaw still until they start changing and adding and jacking up there prices. P.S you can never have to much power...... unless ya end up braking windows😶
It’s whatever’s most powerful anymore, nobody cares about comfort, refinement, features, design……as long as it blows the hardest, don’t matter if it weights 30lbs, takes 5 minutes to warm up, sounds like 2 billion locust buzzing 🤔🤣
stihl is excellent and I own a stihl pole hedger, stick edger, hand held blower and string trimmer but as far as the br800 and echo 8010 there is no comparison in power. The echo has more power period and if you think the br800 is stronger or even equal to the power of the echo 8010 then you my friend are a fool .
@@soleslayer91 *I wish I worked for echo or stihl. Nah just a big equipment fan, I prefer stihl and don't even have my echo 8010 anymore sold it for $500 on offerup 2 months ago.

STIHL quality is not the same anymore a lot of made in China with Chinese carbies. and the pollution gear that they're running on a means that they get clogged very easy. Shindaiwa / Echo all the way
Much heavier, bulkier, no side start, takes forever to warm up, you are right, no comparison. I never considered echo a “premium” product, they make good stuff but stihl still is much more refined

ColonialRVA that’s a great idea! I’ll have to remember that. It’s such a pain working them through a gate been there. Kills your time on the job.
That's what I do good idea
Do a video on that!!!

echo pb8010h is what I will purchase in a couple days

More reliable and more powerful than the Echo 8010 vs Stil BR-800? What do you think of Maruyama BL8500SP?

How often and how effective is your little wonder machine.. Is it worth the money for such a limited time that a service would use it during a season?
It’s definitely worth it I have a little wonder and a billy goat and it saves a lot of time. Cuts my jobs in half

Stihl uses the one piece green molded fuel lines and you can get those extremely cheap on ebay as well as the carbs. I I have a few just for backups.
@@bigtexas7580 Not OEM stihl parts. Those are dealer exclusive.

If i have to shut off my blower for any reason when im blowing. I can start it back up in 5 seconds because i had my coworker time me 😂
I’m a Echo guy but the stand up start and overall design of the Sthil has me sold it’s the only time I’d deviate from Echo.
Hey I have the 8010 is amazing but we need the upgrade flex pipe is crap my brother get the upgraded 8010 is day and night

I'd of removed gate panel not like you cant screw it back up

Get the part # off of echo website and Google it. You can buy 8010 parts off of amazon.
I’m pretty sure the 8010 and the redmax are the exact same thing and parts are interchangeable

Echo all day stronger more reliable 5 year warranty.

BR800 SPEED 239MPH is with all Tubes off out of end of tube it 199mph

A couple of rakes and a tarp could have moved most of that in 5 minutes.
