Description
Overview of the Troy-Bilt TB51BP
The Troy-Bilt TB51BP
- Power: The Troy-Bilt TB51BP is a gas-powered leaf blower. It sports a max air speed of 220 MPH and a max air volume rating of 600 cubic feet per minute (CFM).
- 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 located on the tube, which allows you to keep your left hand free. When compared to other gas-powered backpack blowers, the Troy-Bilt TB51BP stands out due to its lower weight: just 20.5 lbs.
- Engine: The blower is fitted with a 51cc engine. Since this is a 2-stroke engine, it’s important to remember that the TB51BP cannot run on gasoline alone. The fuel must be mixed with an appropriate ratio of gasoline and oil in order for it to function properly (for this Troy-Bilt model, this ratio 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 Troy-Bilt TB51BP to match it. On top of that, maintaining the selected speed is effortless, as it also features cruise control.
- Noise: As far as gas-powered backpack blowers go, this one is average in terms of noise with a rating of 75 dB.
- Fuel Tank: It has an average fuel capacity for a backpack blower, with a tank that holds around 46 fl. oz of fuel.
- SpringAssist™: The Troy-Bilt TB51BP benefits from the proprietary SpringAssist™ starting system. This system allows the operator to start the leaf blower with a slow and steady pull on the starter rope, which greatly reduces the pulling effort needed.

The Troy-Bilt TB51BP's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Troy-Bilt TB51BP 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.
- Its max air volume rating (600 cubic feet per minute) means it is really not the biggest air producer of gas-powered backpack blowers. For the highest air volume, you may want to have a look at the Echo PB-9010T, which boasts with 1110 CFM.
Price comparison
As you can see from this interactive chart, when compared to other gas backpack blowers, the Troy-Bilt TB51BP is on the cheap side of the price range.
It can therefore be a really good buy if you're looking to acquire a budget blower.

Used a couple of times,,then would bog down under power,, replaced tank fuel filter and no more problems
I don’t see how this blower get great reviews. It sorry. I brought this bkpkg BP 51 and two trimmers for Farmers Fruniture. It started fine the 1st few times. I have been using 50 to 1 gas and no start. The BP 25 trimmers the same thing. I have changed spark plugs in all 3 …The same results I have had all 3 for only 1 month. I’m in the process of returning them bk to the store.period. I have had my Poulan Pro for trimmer for ever. I use the Truefuel gas in it. Itd starts up and it’s a 2 cyc as well.
I’ve used this unit 5 times, first 3 were great. Now it bogs down when you press the throttle. Very disappointing.
