Heavy air flow and high air speed are delivered by an efficient fan working in harmony with the X-Torq® engine.

Zoom on the Husqvarna 560BTS
The Husqvarna 560BTS
With its gas backpack design, the Husqvarna 560BTS is mostly aimed at homeowners with big residential yards that extend beyond half an acre and require ongoing upkeep, and professional landscapers handling medium-to-large yards for clients.
It is capable of expelling a maximum air volume of 631 cubic feet per minute (CFM). Its air speed is rated at 232 MPH. These values mean that it should manage everyday yard leaves rather efficiently, but also have the power to handle denser material or small piles of heavier debris across lawns, patios, and garden paths.
With its 65.5-cc 2-stroke X-Torq® engine, the 560BTS requires a 50:1 fuel-to-oil mix for operation. 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. Its fuel tank holds 74.4 fl. oz., within the usual range for gas backpack blowers.
The Husqvarna 560BTS provides versatile control with customizable airflow via variable speed settings and the convenience of cruise control for prolonged comfort.
With a dry weight of 23.25 lbs, the backpack design of the unit shifts most of the weight off the arms and makes the tube easier to handle. Its throttle is located on the tube, which allows to keep the left hand free.
