    Question:
    I have a commercial property maintenance company and we have multiple ride-on power sweepers and sweeping trucks (Tymco 210's). All of our sweeper operators are equipped with backpack blowers to blow out corners, behind parking blocks, sidewalks, etc.

    I cannot keep any make or model of backpack blowers running for more than a few days at a time! I have recently switched from Dolmar 4-stroke to the Husqvarna 150BT 2-strokes. The Husqvarnas started out strong but after about week to week and a half (approximately 70-80 hours of run-time) the motors are struggling, bogging down, losing power, etc. These blowers generally run 5-7 days per week and often 8-10 hours per night. The blowers that we use with our ride-on Powerboss power sweepers operate in a VERY dusty environment and they are generally run full throttle for hours at a time.

    Question: can anyone PLEASE tell me what model Husqvarna blower I should try? There are so many listed on the Husqvarna website. What I need is a TRUE commercial blower. At $300-$400+ each I can't keep replacing these things every couple weeks.

    Thank you, your feedback is greatly appreciated!

      Does anyone at Husqvarna monitor this website?  Does anyone at Husqvarna want to sell more blowers?  Anyone?
