Given that the Stihl BR 600 and the Husqvarna 560BTS come from distinct manufacturers, their construction and technological features may differ.

Engineered as backpack blowers, these two products feature sizeable engines and large fuel tanks, ensuring comfortable carrying during operation. You'll find the throttle positioned on the tube of both products, ensuring that your left hand remains unoccupied for other activities.
Both products, gas blowers, offer a swift refill system, saving you time on refueling and allowing you to efficiently manage large outdoor spaces.
Weighing 23.25 lbs, the Husqvarna 560BTS tips the scales slightly above the 21.6 lbs of the Stihl BR 600, implying that while it's marginally heavier, users may still experience a touch more convenience in operation.
At 97 dB, the Husqvarna 560BTS 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.

CFM & MPH

With a marginal CFM advantage (677 vs 631 CFM), the Stihl BR 600 may offer a modest edge over the Husqvarna 560BTS (631 CFM) in terms of leaf-moving capability.
The MPH of 238 for the Stihl BR 600 slightly outperforms the 232 MPH of the Husqvarna 560BTS, enhancing its effectiveness in clearing leaves on grass or lifting wet debris.

Engine specs

The Husqvarna 560BTS boasts a significantly larger fuel tank, holding 74.4 fl.oz. compared to the Stihl BR 600's 47.3 fl.oz. This allows for substantially more fuel storage and potentially longer operation, assuming similar fuel consumption rates for both engines.
These two products boast engine displacements that are nearly identical. Consequently, their fuel consumption per stroke should be comparable, resulting in similar output levels. Each of these blowers requires a fuel/oil mix to operate, as the Husqvarna 560BTS features a 2-stroke engine, and the Stihl BR 600 is powered by the Stihl 4-Mix 4-stroke engine.
