Thanks Jim, awesome demo which helped me decide to go with the 350BT instead of the BF. I've been struggling over which way to go but now I know. Thanks a ton !
Thanks Jim for a great presentation for this soon-to-be an 80yr old Greatgrandpa/GA. I plan to purchase the 350BTS at Lowes on Sunday. Hopefully, Lowes will have the two warranty extensions.
A few comments. Ever since I burnt out a Husky chainsaw, by using high test gasoline that contained Ethanol, the only fuel I ever use is MO or AV Gas purchased at a small local airport. It is more expensive than gas purchased at a gas station, but without the Ethanol, my small engines will not overheat and burn out. I was told by the dealer that Ethanol is made from the sugar that is extracted from corn, and that this sugar/alcohol, gums up everything in a chainsaw or leaf blower where it flows, and of course it burns hotter. Also I found that it was difficult to keep my jeans on while using a backpack blower, a belt did not help suspenders failed. The weight of the blower being on your hips, tends to push your pants down. I use farmer jeans or overalls, they work great. You should refer to the button that locks the throttle in place as a throttle lock, not cruise control. I locked the throttle in place, and the cruise control, as you called it, didn't move me one inch, I still had to walk from place to place. You also mentioned in one of your videos that there was an extension for the tube, that had a bent end and it was sort of pinched, to increase CFM pressure at the nozzle. My Husky dealer does not have any information to this being an available part to purchase from Husqvarna, is this something that is locally produced, or is it borrowed from a different manufacturer? Do you ship them? What would be the cost to ship one to New Hampshire, or do you have a part number, that I could write to the manufacturer and have them send me one? I also have added a makeshift belt, to keep the shoulder straps from separating. I use a Velcro Product called One Wrap Strap, about 25 inches, and it keeps the straps from sliding off of my shoulders. That could be an improvement that Husky could add to their blower line. Nice video.
What about the 150BT compared to the 350BT? Both have the 50.2cc engine, pretty much the same blower; however, the 150 says it does 710 CFM \ 251 MPH and the 320 is rated at 692 CFM \ 180 MPH. I have read on some reviews by customers on the 150 BT that it is very strong and does a nice job but the 251MPH is an inflated number. Your thoughts and which of these two is the better machine for max air movement? Thanks
The only thing I really hate about the Husky 150BT is the fact that the "OFF" switch in not spring-loaded back to the "ON" position. I find this very aggravating when I've switched it off and forgotten it is in the "OFF" position. The next time I try to start it, I jerk & jerk until it occurs to me that it is switched off. I had a Ryobi blower prior to the Husky which did this and I found that so convenient. Looks like Husky would have thought of this?
Thanks man i just recently bought a used Husky 350bt for 120 before lawn season and was lokinbg a manual video

The engine seized on the Husqvarna backpack leaf blower does that mean the leaf blower is broke can this be fixed
