Description
Increase your crews productivity with the powerful frame-mount Husqvarna 580BFS backpack blower. Designed with a larger fuel tank, a reliable 2-stroke engine and efficient fan design, tackle large jobs with fewer interruptions throughout the day.
Zoom on the Husqvarna 580BFS
With its gas backpack design, the Husqvarna 580BFS is suited for homeowners with homes with expansive outdoor areas (the kind that is more measured in acres than square feet), and landscaping professionals working across several client grounds.
It features a maximum air speed of 220 MPH and a maximum air volume rating of 1000 cubic feet per minute (CFM). 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 75.6-cc 2-stroke X-Torq® engine, the 580BFS 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 of 87.9 fl. oz. provides more capacity than many gas backpack blowers of the same type.
The Husqvarna 580BFS offers customizable airflow through its variable speed settings, along with integrated cruise control for convenient operation.
At 27.1 lbs (dry), the blower’s backpack configuration allows longer use by moving the bulk of the weight off the arms. Its throttle is hip-mounted, which can make it easier on the right hand when operating it over an extended period of time.
The Husqvarna 580BFS's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Husqvarna 580BFS compare with similar leaf blowers.
- As far as gas-powered backpack blowers over 75cc go, the Husqvarna 580BFS tips the scales on the heavier side at 27.1 lbs. To enjoy the lowest possible weight in this category, you could have a look at the Stihl BR 800 X MAGNUM® which is only 23 lbs.
- At full power, this blower maxes out at 220 MPH, placing it on the lower end in terms of air speed for gas-powered backpack blowers over 75cc. For the fastest air speed in this category, you may want to consider the PRORUN PBB3000, which can expell air at a velocity that can reach 250 MPH.
- The 580BFS is average in terms of air volume. It's rated at 1000 CFM, which is common for gas-powered backpack blowers with a comparable engine size. If air volume is important to you, the Husqvarna 590BTS, with 1245 CFM, could be in your good books.
