Troy-Bilt TB310QS Mulchinator 31cc 2-Cycle Gas Powered 165 MPH Blower/Vacuum Specifications

Each year, more and more homeowners discover what professional landscapers have known for decades: You can save a lot of time –and your aching back–by trading in your rake for a gas-powered leaf blower. If you’re ready to make the move, consider the Troy-Bilt TB310QS: a versatile leaf blower that converts to a leaf vacuum at the flip of a lever. This portable unit is specifically designed for clearing leaves from small- to medium-sized yards.

The TB310QS is driven by a 31-cubic-centimeter gas engine that’s equipped with an easy-pull spring-assist starting system. The blower creates hurricane-force winds up to 165 miles per hour; that’s powerful enough to blast away even damp, matted leaves. Flip the QuickShift lever to switch from blower mode to vacuum.

The 13.5-pound unit features a mulching impeller blade that shreds leaves–reducing them at a 10-to-1 ratio–and shoots them into the convenient collection bag. The zippered cloth bag holds about 3/4 of a bushel, and it can be emptied without removing it from the blower.

Besides clearing leaves from the lawn, the TB310QS can be used to remove debris from decks, patios and sidewalks. The powerful engine on this Troy-Bilt leaf blower/vacuum is rather loud, so it’s advisable to wear hearing protection during use.–Joseph Truini

Not holding up after a few years – Scott E. Packard – Alhambra, CA United States
The best thing about this model is the very rapid change from blow to vac. Just a flip of a strip of beaver tail, and switches. This is great!
The balance of the two handles is beautiful. I never burned my hands on the hot parts of the engine.
The bad news is that the device is not in possession over time. I am the second bag (the zipper teeth lost) marmalade. The Easy-start-up support has been rewound the end of the goal line and tonight I barely had enough cable rewinds to start.
We had Bad SantaAna winds yesterday, so I had to sweep the concrete driveway and patio. I vacuum about 3 bags of waste. What oil on peeing your pants (maybe it is leaking from a fuel line? Absolutely not overfill or leak fuel during filling of the tank.) I would say that it has used approximately 25 hours. I took off my scarf when decarbon. There was a lot of carbon, and keep the screws should be removed, not always in lock, then took a lot of aluminum engine blockwhen I removed them.

If you're curious how we compare to a 12AMP power, suck and blow the drive more, and it is obviously difficult. But a 100 '12-gauge electric cable is a pain, the development and roll-up for each post, and I used to get much of it, jaw on SAP, I have been costly to remove brake parts cleaner 's use. The last 10 meters were very dirty.

Or he has a rotating plastic or composite. I have no problem with the impeller,and I took pine cones, pine needles and magnolia leaves with him. I had only once taken apart around them, in order to clear clogged.

The speed of the engine is basically a minimum, medium and full. Takes about 60 seconds before running at full speed without choking.

I bought a Troy-Bilt TB320BV blower / vacuum in June 2006 and available in July of 2009. It 'was always difficult to start, but now is not at all – apparently, the compression, as is easy to pull the rope starter base lost. Troy-Bilt oill has always been used in the report stated. The device has been used maybe 45 times the grass is cut stroke. The work function of vacuum, but that was not very practical, because of the small pocket. Had to use a small bungeeThey hold close to the vibration control of speed. Biggest complaint was the starting point difficult. I am a mechanical engineer and most of all my equipment works well and lasts for years. I goofed when I bought this.

I love it. It 'a little' heavy, but its great for cleaning everything. Converts to a ventilator and in less than a second.
