Description
Overview of the Husqvarna 560BTS
The Husqvarna 560BTS
- Power: The 560BTS, produced by Husqvarna, is a gas-powered leaf blower capable of expelling a maximum air volume of 631 cubic feet per minute (CFM). Its air speed is rated at 232 miles per hour (MPH).
- Handling: With its backpack design, this leaf blower prioritizes user comfort and ease of use, allowing for extended operation with minimal strain on the user. Its throttle is located on the tube, which allows you to keep your left hand free. Weighing 23.25 lbs, the Husqvarna 560BTS holds a middle ground among gas-powered backpack blowers, neither exceptionally light nor overly heavy, providing a moderate weight option for users.
- Engine: Its X-Torq® engine boasts a displacement of 65.5cc. Since this is a 2-stroke engine, it’s important to remember that the 560BTS cannot run on gasoline alone. The fuel must be mixed with an appropriate ratio of gasoline and oil in order for it to function properly (for this Husqvarna model, this ratio is 50:1).
- Speed Settings: There are times when you only need a little more power, while other times you will want a bit more precision when clearing leaves and debris. For this purpose, the 560BTS offers variable speed settings, adding you, the user, more control, and a cruise control mode, which will allow you to maintain it comfortably for as long as you wish.
- Noise: At 97 dB, the noise produced by the 560BTS is in line with what you'd expect from other gas-powered backpack blowers.
- Fuel Tank: With a tank capacity of 74.4 fl. oz., the Husqvarna blower falls within the usual range for gas backpack blowers.
- X-Torq®: The X-Torq® is Husqvarna's latest technology for two-stroke engines. It reduces fuel consumption by up to 20% and harmful exhaust emissions by up to 60% while increasing torque over a wider rpm range.
