Feel, Fuel & Noise

As the Stihl BR 600 and the Husqvarna 580BTS Mark III do not share the same manufacturer, their overall build and technology in use can vary.

Manufactured as backpack blowers, these two products are equipped with large engines and spacious fuel tanks, offering comfortable carrying while you work. On both products, the throttle is situated on the blower tube, giving you the advantage of having your left hand available for other uses.
Both products are gas-powered blowers, providing a reliable power source that can be refilled in seconds, granting you the flexibility to navigate through expansive outdoor areas effortlessly.
The Husqvarna 580BTS Mark III, with a weight of 26.8 lbs, outweighs the 21.6 lbs of the Stihl BR 600, making it more physically taxing to operate and potentially causing more fatigue during extended use.
At 106 dB, the Husqvarna 580BTS Mark III produces a substantially louder noise compared to the 75 dB of the Stihl BR 600. This means that the latter will provide a significantly quieter operation, ensuring greater comfort for you and minimizing noise impact on those around you.
