Lawn Care Business RedMax Backpack Leaf Blower Review
www.StartALawnCareBusiness.com Hi Everyone This is Keith from www.StartALawnCareBusiness.com. If you want to start or expand a lawn care business, our website is a business resource for anyone wishing to start or expand a lawn care business. Visit us today at: www.StartALawnCareBusiness.com Today, I am going to review the RedMax EBZ8001 Commercial backpack blower. My brand new 8001 arrived well boxed in sturdy corrugated packaging. Apart from the blower tubes, the unit itself was fully assembled.

With my order, the folks at RedMax were kind enough to include 6 bottles of 50:1 2 cycle oil. The first thing I noticed about the RedMax was its considerable heavy duty construction. Its size over normal consumer model backpack blowers is impressive. The RedMax 8001 is powered by an air cooled 2-cycle engine. The engine size is a massive 71.9cc’s capable of moving 915 cubic feet per minute at over 200 mph. It has a digital ignition for easy start and uninterrupted operation. I was very impressed with the construction of the air filter chamber. Poor air filter design shortens the life of many consumer model blowers. The RedMax 8001 relies on a 2 stage air filter. The first stage is a foam filter. This is a dry filter and RedMax does not recommend oiling the foam stage before use. The second stage is a paper filter. This filter system is vital to …

How much should she be paying? In response a member wrote: “General rule of thumb for buying customers is that they are worth about 1 month revenue. If they are commercial you’ll pay a little more and if there is a signed multi-year agreement in place ( which you said there is ) then this will push the price up too. So it could be worth as much as 2 or 3 months revenue depending on the situation.” Mike then joined the discussion and talked about how many customers would stay with him after he bought their accounts. “I did lose a few here and there, but I only paid 2.5 times the mowing price, and usually got at least 3 mows before they quit me.” “Have you checked some of his accounts to make sure they are priced in accordance with what you would charge?
