Description

Zoom on the Husqvarna 590BTS
With its gas backpack design, the Husqvarna 590BTS is mostly aimed at professional who manage multiple properties or client sites.
It is capable of expelling a maximum air volume of 1245 cubic feet per minute (CFM). Its air speed is rated at 216 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.
The 590BTS features a 79.4-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. With its 91.3 fl. oz. tank, this unit ranks among the larger-capacity gas backpack blowers.
With its variable speed settings, the Husqvarna 590BTS allows you to precisely control its air output. In addition, the blower is also equipped with cruise control, with which the user can easily maintain the selected settings.
This gas backpack blower has a dry weight of 26.2 lbs and shifts most of the weight to the back, reducing strain on the arms during operation. Its throttle is located on the tube, which allows to keep the left hand free.
