Why Choose This Blower:

The STIHL BR500 Backpack Blower offers an excellent balance of power, weight and comfort for professional users. Its strong air output, lightweight construction and ergonomic harness make it ideal for clearing large areas efficiently without excessive fatigue. Built to STIHL’s professional standards, it delivers dependable performance day after day.

The STIHL BR500 is a high-performance backpack blower with a 64.8cc STIHL 4-Mix engine and integrated muffler to reduce noise emissions. This blower is ideal for clearing away leaves, grass clippings, hedge clippings and other debris from large areas and in commercial applications and is especially suited to areas where noise levels need to be kept to a minimum.

STIHL's 4-Mix engine incorporates a clever combination of 2-stroke and 4-stroke technologies allowing the use of a 2-stroke oil/fuel mixture whilst the engine works using the 4-stroke principle. The 4-Mix design minimises engine emissions, gives a lower noise and a more pleasant tone than a 2-stroke engine, has less maintenance than a 4-stroke engine and gives high torque for maintaining the engine revs under load.

The comfortable rubberised handle features an integrated throttle lock allowing the engine speed to be set to the desired level to achieve the blowing force needed for the task at hand. An optional ‘bike handle’ is available if required to make working with this blower for long periods more comfortable.

Fitted with an anti-vibration system and wide padded harness, the BR500 is very comfortable to use and the integrated carrying handle makes lifting this blower nice and easy.
