Description
Overview of the Troy-Bilt TB51BP
- Power: The TB51BP, produced by Troy-Bilt, is a gas-powered leaf blower capable of expelling a maximum air volume of 600 cubic feet per minute (CFM). Its air speed is rated at 220 miles per hour (MPH).
- Handling: By design, this model isn’t the smallest leaf blower on the market. It’s meant to be carried as a backpack so that the bulk of the unit is out of the way and the user’s hands are free to manipulate the nozzle. Its throttle is located on the tube, which allows you to keep your left hand free. Among other gas-powered backpack blowers, the Troy-Bilt TB51BP can be considered light, weighing only 20.5 lbs.
- Engine: This blower's engine has a displacement specification of 51cc. As with most 2-stroke engines, the TB51BP requires a fuel mixture of gas and oil to function efficiently. The fuel/oil ratio recommended by Troy-Bilt for the TB51BP is 50:1.
- Speed Settings: Users can fine-tune airflow with the variable speed settings of the TB51BP, complemented by intuitive cruise control for effortless use.
- Noise: With a decibel rating of 75 dB, the TB51BP is neither louder nor quieter than its rivals in the gas-powered backpack category.
- Fuel Tank: Its fuel tank holds 46 fl. oz., a common capacity seen in gas-powered backpack blowers.
- 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.

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.
