I’m not a professional landscaper. Just a homeowner who decide to purchase this blower to clear my leaves each fall (1/2 acre) rather than spend $450 for a fall cleanup. Therefore, I can’t comment with respect to heavy day to day use. This blower is a beast and it performed beautifully this fall. Starts easily, moves everything (wet leaves, dry leaves, even sticks and stones). I got the hip throttle model and love it. Easy to use and less tiring on the right hand. I know some have said they don’t like the hip throttle, but I don’t get the objection. Guess it’s a matter of what you are used to. If you’re a homeowner, I wouldn’t worry much about hip vs tube throttle. Hip works great IMO, but get what you prefer. If you’re a landscaper, then you surely already know what you like, but IMO, the hip throttle is worth a try.
Actually I try to be pretty considerate of their peace and quiet more often then not. I will use an electric weed whacker and hedge trimmers on my own property. I also always mow my own lawn with the smaller mowers instead of the larger noisier ones and use my handheld blower instead of these back pack ones at home, and I’ll use my electric pressure washer instead of the gas one for washing equipment and the truck and trailer. Thanks for watching.
I have recently bought one. The 9010t and I’m happy that I bought it. It will handle anything I want to cleanup. I think it allows me to clear debris faster .
I can't believe I waited so long to get one. I was using a Sthil 350br. So going to this was like night and day. I can blow off a property in no time and don't even have to get close to the clippings to throw them to the other side of the lawn, lol. This was a great buy.
After you put the choke on after it starts does the machine automatically return the choke into the off or 12 o’clock position or do u have to manually move the choke from 3 o’clock to 12
I put the choke on and usually give it about two pulls until you hear the motor almost start then take choke off and one more pull and it will start and warm up. Thanks for watching.
Nice video. I have a question? I have never used any kind of gas powered based machinery. Always electric. Do I have to be a chemist to figure out how much oil to add to the gas tank when I am putting gas in it? Is there a fill line for the oil? How do I know if im putting in too much oil? TY!
Usually you would pre mix your gas in a separate gas can for mixed fuel. Usually for most applications it’s 50:1. That’s 50 parts gasoline to 1 part oil. You can buy different sizes of the oil mix. I like using the smallest ones that are made to be used with 1 gallon of fuel. I use a 1 gallon Jerry can and put the whole little container of oil in and then fill it up at the gas station. Good quality oils like ECHO’s red Armor also has fuel stabilizer built in so the fuel could technically last a few years but obviously in a lawn care business setting the only time the fuel sits is maybe any leftover in the winter. Also if your uncomfortable pre mixing your own fuel ECHO also sells premixed fuel ready to use but that of course comes in smaller containers at a premium price available at your echo dealer. Thanks for watching.
I love Echo over Stihl. Just personal opinion as my Echo power equipment has continued to hold up and my Stihl trimmers, edgers, and chainsaws have repeatedly broke down.
Yes that’s been my experience as well. I use to have all stihl equipment. I started using ECHO as part of the UAG program and it really opened my eyes as to what high quality dependable commercial equipment is really like. Thanks for watching.
Good stuff Julio, it looks like an absolute beast. Thinking about one solely for the leaf cleanups, but we’ll see. Looking forward to seeing this in action with the navigator, that seems like a great pair. Also, congrats on 10k. Don’t know if that was recent or I just missed it. Great vid!
Yes so far it’s a beast for sure. On full throttle it makes me walk sideways. 😂 should be a great leaf cleanup combo with the Navigator. The 10k was in just the last few days. Thanks for watching.
No I dont think so. They did not unveil anything more powerful during the recent equip expo for next year. However Redmax did release a new model to dethrone the 9010 as the most powerful blower on the market. Thanks for watching.
@@victoryfirst2878So previous to the Echo 9010. The Redmax ebz 8560 that was 1000 cfm was the most powerful blower. There was also a Maryuma blower that was 1000 cfm as well. Then Echo put out the 8010 at just over 1040 cfm followed by the 9010 the next year with 1110 cfm and 48 neutons of force. It was the most powerful blower available for the past 3 or 4 years. Now Redmax has claimed the title again with the new EBZ9000 it puts out 1245 cfm at 56 neutons of force and is now the most powerful blower available on the market.
Tell me something bro. Which one is the best, tge 9010 or the 8010 model. Here in Greece i cant find the 9010 model only the 8010. Also id like to know some specs of the 9010. Horsepower and the air speed.
They are almost identical. The 8010 is lighter though due to its carbon fibre frame and fan housing. It weighs the same as the pb-770. The 9010 is a little bit more powerful but not much. We’re talking a couple of newtons and around 100 cfm. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for doing this video. I'm strongly considering buying this blower for general leaf clean up, but I'm curious if you think it's powerful enough to blow large acorns into a pile? I have several oak trees which dump a ton of acorns on my lawn which are a pain to rake up.
Yeah I think it would. I’ve been very impressed with it so far. They say it’s the most powerful backpack blower available on the market putting out 1110 cfm at the nozzle. I believe it. At full throttle it torques your body sideways. Thanks for watching.
Great video...I wish they had a shorter tube option to use.a short tube with a narrow tip would be nice to blow out debris in corners and wet leaves lodged into crevices.
Thanks! I have experimented with some battery powered equipment. I have a bunch of the Milwaukee M18 stuff including the hedge trimmer, chainsaw, string trimmer, quick lok system with string trimmer attachment and articulating hedge trimmer attachment and the back pack sprayer. I do love the quietness of battery power. Thanks for watching.
I wouldn't mind a 20% reduction in power if they trimmed the weight and price by 20%. In terms of build quality and performance, I think Echo is firmly ahead of Stihl right now. The only downside is the ergonomics. I think they could improve the hose flexibility and hand grip. It's tough to maneuver in tight areas, 45 degree corners, and window wells. I give it an 8.5/10 and crown it the industry leader.
That description almost sounds like the PB-770. A fantastic blower for power to weight to size and price ratio. Probably my favorite all round backpack blower. Thanks for watching.
I love my pb8010. Only complaints are I wish the straps were more comfortable and I wish the tube was more flexible. My br800ce is way more comfortable and tube is adjustable just has a little less power
I just found this piece of beautiful machinery city aint a re sitting next to a trash can last night My girlfriend was like leave it I was like no I didn't know what it was but I knew it was a blower of some kind and then I saw it wasn't echo and was like oh OK I didn't know until I got home what a monster I just found was
Hip. I prefer hip throttle. 9010h. It's kinda cool to operate bad ass engineering / machinery from your hip. Makes me feel like an old school cowboy pulling his gun out by the hip for a quick draw Mcgraw duel.
I prefer tube throttle as well. I never understood the hip throttle. Why use two hands with hip throttle when one can do it on its own with the tube throttle. Thanks for watching.
U still liking that echo red armor.i finally tried it cant tell u what it's doing but it dont smoke or smell bad at all the stihl stuff smoked and stinks like hell lol
Yeah I would not recommend it for daily use all season. It’s a pain on your back to use and lift all day. Get one if you have large leaf jobs to do but then put it away for the rest of the season. Thanks for watching.
Leave a comment down below and let me know what you think of this new ECHO PB-9010T and if you prefer tube throttle or hip throttle models?

I just bought 1 today…. Holy smokes its a beast!
Yeah it’s a big boy. Heavy to use and loud, but packs a punch. Thanks for watching.
Best blower hands down, hip throttle too. I have had it for 6 months and have loved every minute.
That’s awesome to hear. Thanks for watching.
I have recently bought one. The 9010t and I’m happy that I bought it. It will handle anything I want to cleanup. I think it allows me to clear debris faster .
Yes for sure. I noticed the same thing. It definitely allows you to get the job done quicker. A definite plus as a solo operator. Thanks for watching.
Nice video and I do plan on getting this PB-9010T. Thank you!!
It’s great for moving tons of leaves fast. Thanks for watching.
I have one of these. This blower is awesome,It blow away the competition.
Yes it is literally the most powerful blower available on the market right now. Thanks for watching.
I can't believe I waited so long to get one. I was using a Sthil 350br. So going to this was like night and day. I can blow off a property in no time and don't even have to get close to the clippings to throw them to the other side of the lawn, lol. This was a great buy.

What’s the size of the end of the tub on the big blower is it 3 inches?

Japanese stuff is pretty much always good in my opinion. Echo also have a great warranty 👍🏼
I like the tube mounted throttles
Yes me too. Thanks for watching
I use to own a pb 650 and it ran for years of seasonal use grass leaves. I just picked up the pb 9010t and it a beast, it sounds mean just idling.
Yes it’s a beast for sure. Thanks for watching.
Whats The Diameter size of the end of that tube

No problem. Thanks for watching.
DO you know if ECHO will have a stronger blower this coming year ??
No I dont think so. They did not unveil anything more powerful during the recent equip expo for next year. However Redmax did release a new model to dethrone the 9010 as the most powerful blower on the market. Thanks for watching.
@@LawnCareBusinessSuccess Could you please let me know anything you know about the dethrowning of the echomax ?? Thanks

Yes a shorter or adjustable tube would be great. Thanks for watching.
I just bought one and I’m ready to fire it up. One question, does it need oil anywhere?
It uses 2 stroke oil for lubrication mixed with the gas at 50:1. So that means 1 part oil to 50 parts gas.
What is the weight difference.
The 770T is 24.3lbs. The 9010T is 26.7 lbs. so just over 2 lbs different. Thanks for watching.
Great content as always, since you mentioned the noice of the commercial leaf blowers , do you own a battery powered yard equipment???
Thanks! I have experimented with some battery powered equipment.

Great video like the blower
Thanks for watching. 👍
This unit is not for people with bad backs. I had one but sadly had to sell it shortly after.
It is a heavy unit for sure. Thanks for watching.

I prefer tube throttle as well. I never understood the hip throttle. Why use two hands with hip throttle when one can do it on its own with the tube throttle. Thanks for watching.
The Echo PB-500T has 450 and 162 miles per hour and it's powered by a 50.8cc engine
Nice 👍 Thanks for watching
I have a pb580t
Nice blower.but I'll stick to my huaqvarna lol dealership is only 15 min from my house echo is about 2 hrs lol
Gotta use what works for you and your business. Thanks for watching.
U still liking that echo red armor.i finally tried it cant tell u what it's doing but it dont smoke or smell bad at all the stihl stuff smoked and stinks like hell lol
Yeah I love it. Cleans out any carbon deposits plus no need to winterize equipment as it has stabilizer in it already. It’s all I’ve used since 2017.
The weight tho
Yeah I would not recommend it for daily use all season. It’s a pain on your back to use and lift all day. Get one if you have large leaf jobs to do but then put it away for the rest of the season. Thanks for watching.
Are you losing weight? Looking slim and trim!
Thanks! Yes down 60lbs so far. Thanks for watching.
Ben paramla bulamıyorum Türkiye de 9010 T yok ne bok tan şirket is acho yazıklar olsun
Too "big and beefy"! Should have made a different purchase decision.
It’s definitely not for everyone. Thanks for watching.
