Product Description

The STIHL BR 500 is professional petrol leaf blower used for clearing large areas, especially those that may be in noise sensitive environments due to this machine’s reduced noise levels.

The reduced noise output comes from a combination of a built-in sound damper and the optimised 4-stroke engine, making this machine the quietest of all of STIHL’s petrol blowers.

Other than quiet running, the 4-stroke engine (STIHL 4-Mix) also provides high levels of torque, fast acceleration, and more power while remaining both fuel efficient and generating less emissions.

As this is a backpack leaf blower, it uses a comfortable harness, specialised for long use. It has both excellent weight distribution and benefits from super soft padding.

Controlling blower function is also simple due to the multi-function handle, meaning that all controls can be operated using just one thumb.

Finally, the innovative anti-vibration technology enhances comfort on long clearance jobs while reducing the risk of blood vessel damage.

STIHL petrol leaf blowers are optimally designed for their purpose. That’s why this BR 500 features:

  • Low noise output
  • STIHL 4-Mix engine (powerful, low noise, reduced emissions, and lower fuel consumption)
  • Sound damper (59% decrease in noise)
  • STIHL ElastoStart (takes away starting compression stock)
  • Comfortable harness (even weight distribution and soft padding)
  • Multi-function control handle (all controls in reach of your thumb)
  • Anti-vibration system (improved comfort and lower risk of injury)

Stihl 4-mix engine

You can always rely on STIHL to keep setting new benchmarks this time with 4-stroke mixed lubrication technology The STIHL A-MIX engine, which runs on a fuel-oil mix just like a 2-stroke, offers the benefits without the compromises of 4- stroke power. STIHL 4-MIX engine technology provides fast acceleration, more power, added torque, lower noise, reduced emissions and increased fuel efficiency to complete jobs quickly and more easily.

Built-in sound damper

The BR 500 with built-in sound damper is built for use in noise-sensitive areas. The measured noise reduction for the human ear is up to 59% compared to the previous model** Despite the relatively low noise emission, the BR 500 is a strong, reliable helper with high performance. **Measured according to EN-IS022868.

Anti-vibration system

Intense vibration at the handles of power tools can lead to long-term effects on blood vessels in the hands and arms. STIHL has therefore developed an effective anti-vibration system whereby the oscillations from the machine's engine are dampened which significantly reduces vibrations at the handles.
