Original Message Apr 21, 2005 7:11 am

Anybody knows which manufacturer makes them in 4 cycle? So far all I can find are 2 strokes. Thanks.

Mint's, what model Echo Shred'n' vac do you have? I have the Echo ES-230 and I like it.

The smell is fine.... I actually like it. Reminds me of my younger days.

Being that all our other OPE are 4 cycle, I do not want to have another extra gas container for mixed fuel. More chances of error. If you know what I mean.

I believe I saw that John Deere now has a hand held 4 stroke leaf blower. I cannot remember the model number or where I saw it, but I'm sure you can find it on www.deere.com.

John Deere GT 225 and 2305

Husqvarna 340

Honda UMK432LTA Trimmer

Bombardier Outlander 400XT

Briggs & Stratton Powerwasher to clean them all with.

It appears the only model Deere has in 4 cycle is BH25LE

Ryobi has been making trimmers with 4cycle engines on them for a couple years now. However, I don't think they amount to much.

Hi all

Honda make a 4 stroke blower... It is powered by their GX25 Over Head Cam mini 4 stroke.

I upgraded from a Ryobi 31cc 2 stroke on the weekend.

I am in Australia and would assume it would be available for sale worldwide...

Would never buy a 2 stroke again....

You all are lucky in that respect, they don't offer it here in the US. Looks nice!

Good onya mate!

We don't have that here though I wish we did. Maybe next year?

But the price is a killer though. At current exchange rates, that would put it in the US$ 390 or so range. Ouch!

Good heads-up. Thanks.

Yes, Honda does make a leaf blower, hand held ,4 stroke. However, they do not sell them in the USA. Honda has them in the UK and in Australia. I was able to find one for sale on ebay UK. Yes it did cost me an arm and a leg ( $ 523.00 us ) but it's a honda so it's worth it. The modle number HHB 25E. If you go onto ebay uk put the modle number in and you will find one.
