Stihl BR 200 Blower

The Stihl BR 200 Is small in stature but big in the field. We used the BR 200 for the first time in the lawn-care business today. The BR 200 is a 27.2cc engine. With 406 cfm and its 132mph rating, so it's hard to compare it to the BR 380 or 550 with their 64.8cc motors. I have to say though it held its own on the sidewalks, driveways and roadways. Weighing in at 12.2lbs it's a joy to use at half the weight of the others. So if your looking for a good blower you can use in for your Lawn-care business or a great blower for a home owner the BR 200 maybe be for you.

So you think it is more powerful than my Echo PB-255LN handheld blower? It might be something for me to look into if it is more powerful than my Echo for leaf clean-up.

I don't really know that answer. Your 255 is 354 cfm so yes the BR 200 is according to spec's should be more powerful but the 200 being 406 cfm there really isn't that much difference. I just told someone else on the other forum if you're looking to move leafs I'd jump up to at least the BR 550. The BR 200 has the same engine as the BG86 Stihl hand held unit

OK thanks for the info. I asked the same question on LMF so if you would like to answer there then others can see your answer.
Thanks for your help!
