STIHL BR 500 Petrol Backpack Blower

A powerful, quiet and comfortable professional machine.

STIHL have designed this blower to be used in low-noise areas. Its innovative engine creates a more pleasant sound, as well as the benefits of low fuel consumption and low emissions.

Powerful 4-MIX engine

The revolutionary 4-MIX engines from STIHL run on a fuel-oil mix, just like a 2-stroke machine, offering the benefits without the compromises of 4-stroke power. That means fast acceleration, more power, added torque, lower noise, reduced emissions and increased fuel efficiency. You'll find you can complete jobs more quickly, more quietly and more easily than previous models.

Comfort at the forefront

There are several intelligent features of the BR 500 designed to increase operator comfort. Most importantly, STIHL's anti-vibration system ensures you can use the machine over the course of a long day without fatigue, as the oscillations from the engine are dampened to significantly reduce vibrations at the handles. You will also appreciate the ergonomic harness, which spreads the unit's weight out over your shoulders, back, hips and upper thighs.

Simple to use and superbly quiet

A multi-function control handle allows for easy, comfortable thumb-operated control, so your hand never has to leave the handle. The built-in sound damper allows you to operate the unit in noise-sensitive areas, with a 59% reduction in noise (measured to the human ear) compared to the previous model.
