Product information & specifications
STIHL BR 500 Petrol Backpack Leaf Blower
The STIHL BR 500 Petrol Backpack Leaf Blower is a high-performance professional blower designed for landscapers and contractors who require powerful clearing performance with reduced noise output. Thanks to its advanced 4-MIX® engine technology and integrated noise-reduction muffler, this blower delivers impressive airspeed and volume while keeping sound levels lower than many comparable professional models.
With its 64.8 cm³ engine, excellent ergonomics and vibration-dampening system, the BR 500 offers the perfect balance of power, comfort and operator protection for demanding, large-scale jobs.
Key Features
- STIHL 4-MIX® engine – combines the benefits of 2-stroke and 4-stroke technology for more torque and efficiency
- Integrated sound damper – reduces noise emissions significantly for use in noise-sensitive areas
- Ergonomic padded harness – ensures operator comfort during extended working hours
- Vibration reduction system – lowers operator fatigue and increases productivity
- Large fuel tank (1.4L) – supports extended run times between refuelling
Why Choose the STIHL BR 500?
The integrated sound damper and 4-MIX® engine make the BR 500 genuinely quieter than the BR 430 at 90dB(A) versus 101dB(A), without sacrificing much power — the right choice for landscapers regularly working in noise-sensitive urban and residential areas where the loudest professional blowers aren't practical.
