STIHL BR 500 Gas-Powered Backpack Leaf Blower

The STIHL BR 500 Gas-Powered Backpack Leaf Blower is built for landscaping professionals who need heavy-duty, all-day clearing power on large commercial properties, without relying on batteries or charge cycles.

4-MIX four-stroke engine

A 64.8cc STIHL 4-MIX engine delivers strong, steady power output while running on standard gasoline, avoiding the oil-mixing hassle of a typical two-stroke engine.

Reduced noise for restricted work hours

Integrated sound dampers bring the sound pressure level down to a rated 65 dB(A), helping crews work earlier hours in noise-sensitive neighborhoods and commercial zones.

Anti-vibration comfort system

An anti-vibration system and padded backpack harness are designed to reduce operator fatigue across long clearing routes and full work shifts.

Single-hand multi-function control

A single-hand multi-function handle keeps throttle and stop controls within easy reach, so the operator can adjust output without breaking stride.
