what to fix/tighten on a new redmax 8000???

[buster57]

I tried an 8000 out at the local shop and my impression was that it was too heavy for a guy to carry for 8 hours. All the lawn service guys I see across the street every day and a very large industrial complex use either Stihl or Echo. They have about 20 of each.
I'm not saying anything bad about the Redmax, other then it is huge.

Who carries a blower for 8 hours...

Leaf cleanup -grass clean up-large industrial complexes, big estates.
In Oregon there are people that do this work all the time. The climate is very temperate so it never really gets too hot or cold. It rains all the time so you cut-and blow in the rain 7-8 months out of the year.
Really need a bad A- - blower in Oregon.
