Zoom on the Husqvarna 570BFS
The Husqvarna 570BFS
The Husqvarna 570BFS is a gas backpack blower that is mostly aimed at homeowners with big residential yards that extend beyond half an acre and require ongoing upkeep, and professional landscapers handling large-scale landscaping jobs.
It provides a maximum air volume rating of 768 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and an air speed of up to 236 miles per hour (MPH). To put it simply, it combines strong airflow to move piles of leaves in the yard with enough force to clear heavier material such as pine needles or acorns from patios and walkways.
The 570BFS features a 65.6-cc 2-stroke X-Torq® engine and runs on a 50:1 fuel-to-oil mixture. 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. It comes with a 74.4 fl. oz. tank, representing a standard capacity.
To provide more control over their job to the user, the unit has a variable speed control setting. No matter the size of the job, the user can adjust the airflow of the Husqvarna 570BFS to match it. On top of that, maintaining the selected speed is effortless, as it also features cruise control.
With a dry weight of 24.5 lbs, the backpack format helps reduce arm fatigue while maintaining steady airflow control. Its throttle is hip-mounted, which can make it easier on the right hand when operating it over an extended period of time.
