    I am a Stihl kinda guy but today I purchased a Craftsman blower, got a friend that works there so I threw him a lil buisness.I ran it about a hour and did just fine for what I needed done.114 out the door with a 2 year warranty.My old Craftsman finally quit on me.

    I was thinking of getting the back pack style for my new place. I hate the fall for the leaves , I love to see my grass looking good all year long. That goes for winter also lol. Treez you got pictures?, and what are your thoughts on power?

    I do have pics, Buick. If I can't find one quickly on the hard drive then I'll take one tomorrow. The 430 I have I bought it used and I've put it through hard use for over a year now and it starts every time and is a great running machine. I have A LOT of trees so obviously that equals A LOT of leaves. And it has the power to do everything that I've asked it to do. Of course, we all could use stuff more powerful but it handles what I need it to. I also use it for my lawn and tree business so it gets used a bunch.

    I have all Stihl equipment as far as this small stuff and I'm sold on it. The back pack is one of the only things I bought used and I'm glad I did. I saved a lot on this vs buying new. On some other stuff it made more sense to buy new and get the warranty. Not sure how many trees you have but I'm pretty sure a 430 would do good for you.

    I found one pretty quickly, Buick. Wish I had a better shot but I'm sure this will do.
