These are great especially if you live somewhere more rural. In a city, you'll drive your neighbors crazy :). Still (see what I did there Stihl) these are super fun to own. Try rowing a boat with one of these, it's a blast. Cheers.
My neighbor has been doing this for years. We live North of Syracuse NY. We get that light fluffy lake effect snow. He blows his cars and porch off. Done in minutes. Sometimes his driveway. Clever if you ask me.
Hi. I just bought one of these over here in Somerset England. Primarily for leaves, but I have a strange feeling that we are going to have a hard winter this/next year, so it is good to see what it does in the snow. Also, so my kids found out, it’s great fun if you use it while sat on a swivel stool. All the best👍🏾😉🇬🇧
I was looking to see if the 800 would be better for blowing snow than my 600. Seems about the same for light snow under 4 inches which is the max for me with the 600. 800 definitely looks to work better for a larger pile of light snow, but I would probably just use a shovel or snowblower at that point. Thanks for the video
This is interesting. I wanna compare my Honda snowblower vs my br800X leafblower lol. Did you remove the air filter and change the summer mode to winter?
I did not do anything special for winter mode. I just wanted to show how this blower can work on snow. Has some limits. Wet snow doesn't work. Packed down will not work either but does a good job on fresh fluffy snow 6" or less.
У меня возникла идея сдувать снег с крыши дома , не подходя близко к краю . Вот думаю , не повредит ли двигателю удлиннение трубы до 3 метров ? Сопротивление воздуха и нагрузка на двигатель явно увеличится ...
So what I've learned from watching these videos is that you have to blow before anyone walks on it. Once it gets a little compacted, the leaf blower can't handle it.

I'm new to the snow, I always wondered why people did not use this method. Thank you!!!! Now I have another reason to buy another Stihl product :)
Glad I could help!

I love that leaf blower, it runs great. Nothing runs like a Stihl.
That thing is a beast! There was something so satisfying watching you do this!
I believe the most satisfying part was I wasn’t doing it 😂
Faster, more effective than any broom, shovel, pusher or small snow blower. Genius.
And requires ear and eye protection

Yes it works very well on cars and those odd areas that are hard to shovel or snow blow.
Another great thing is if you wash your vehicle in the winter time you can dry around the doors so they do not freeze shut.
I'm about to make the purchase for fall cleanup, but wanted to see how it can be used in winter...you showed what I wanted to see👍
Wish I knew this when living in New York!😮

What’s also fun is levitating a ball. You have to find the right size but most smaller ones will float in the jet stream from the nozzle.

You are the man, trying to talk wife into it! ❤️😆
Have you had any issues with the BR800X?

Was it hard to start in the cold?
Great idea. Thanks for sharing. I'd be interested in knowing how much gas you are using? I'd reckon not much
This video compares gas consumption. Spoiler alert: the stihl wins.

Is it strongest available?
How many MPH does that blower go at?
239 mph
912 CFM

Nice. Got 8 inches last night. I’m going to trying blowing the driveway
😂
Don't forget to put it in the winter mode

That is true. Need to get at it when is fluffy and 3" or lest works best.
Will it knock over an old lady?
You need to hang on tight. Haha. You will do fine. Just be aware that it can spin you if your not ready for it
i’d be willing to bet it would most likely move more if you were to heat up the end and pinch the opening to make it more “slit “ like. just an idea
From experience of blasting wet leaves off sidewalks the pinched end would make a huge difference.
Leaf blower is the best for fresh snow removal!! Neighbor laughed at me when I started using it a couple of years ago.
Don't forget too switch it into winter setting!
What does that do? Switching the shutter?
Should always wear eye protection using a leaf blower... and you should switch the blower to "cold" mode in cold weather.
Lol
@@jessemauer5455 what's funny?
@@benhershberger6921 Just the eye protection thing…..I get it, but this is a grown man blowing snow
@@benhershberger6921 No offense…
@@benhershberger6921 exactly, one little twig, with a 250mph blower,, what could possibly go wrong especially walking around between units/buildings
I watched the first part of this video and I as like....hum...well guys are known to measure things differently...
Luigis mansion method
Must be fluffy snow
