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.

Overview of the Husqvarna 580BFS Mark III

  • Power: The 580BFS Mark III, built by Husqvarna, is a gas-powered leaf blower capable of expelling a maximum air volume of 1000 cubic feet per minute (CFM). Its air speed is rated at 220 MPH.
  • Handling: Like most backpack blowers, this model is technically heavier than a handheld. That being said, it can feel lighter and more comfortable because of the way it is carried, even when used over extended periods of time. Its throttle is hip-mounted, which can make it easier on your right hand if you operate it over an extended period of time. Be aware that, at 27.1 lbs, the Husqvarna 580BFS Mark III is on the heavier side of gas-powered backpack blowers.
  • Engine: This blower's X-Torq® engine has a displacement specification of 75.6cc. Please note that, because the Husqvarna 580BFS Mark III's engine is a 2-cycle one, it runs on a mixture of oil and gasoline. According to Husqvarna, the proper fuel mixture ratio for this blower is 50:1.
  • Speed Settings: 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 580BFS Mark III to match it. On top of that, maintaining the selected speed is effortless, as it also features cruise control.
  • Noise: With a decibel rating of 106 dB, the 580BFS Mark III is neither louder nor quieter than its rivals in the gas-powered backpack category.
  • Fuel Tank: Its impressive 87.9 fl. oz. tank capacity puts it on the higher end of the spectrum of similar gas backpack blowers. In fact, it is the biggest tank you'll find in our selection of 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.

The Husqvarna 580BFS Mark III's performance versus other blowers

The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Husqvarna 580BFS Mark III compare with similar leaf blowers.

  • Upon exiting the nozzle, the air can reach speeds of up to 220 MPH, which is pretty much what is to be expected for gas-powered backpack blowers. If you wish to benefit from air expelled at the fastest possible speed, the Husqvarna 150BT and its 270 MPH could be an option to consider.
  • Regarding its air volume, the Husqvarna 580BFS Mark III boasts an impressive airflow that can reach 1000 CFM (Cubic Foot per Minute). This places it amongst the most powerful gas-powered backpack blowers. If air volume is important to you, the Echo PB-9010T, with 1110 CFM, could be in your good books.
