Husqvarna releases new gas-powered backpack blowers
Husqvarna introduced the 590BTS and 590BFS backpack blowers for professional use. The manufacturer said the all-new backpack blowers boast an industry-leading 56 Newtons of blow force and deliver 1245 CFM of air volume. Powered by a 79.4 cc X-TORQ engine, the 590BTS and 590BFS set a new standard in power-to-weight ratio, giving them the title of world’s most powerful backpack blower.
The new backpack blowers feature an AutoTune-controlled carburetor to adjust air/fuel mixture automatically to optimize performance. The blowers also have a new simplified starting procedure with an easy “start” button that eliminates the need for a manual choke. Simply press the button, purge the engine and pull to start.
To ensure comfort and support for professionals, the Husqvarna 590BTS and 590BFS also include benefits like an ergonomic padded harness with a waist belt, a ventilated back pad and LowVib technology to reduce operator fatigue. The top-mounted adjustable right handle also caters to users of all sizes, while load lifter straps ensure a tailored fit. Additional conveniences include a cruise control feature, a commercial-grade 3-stage air filter and the industry’s largest fuel tank for extended runtimes between fill-ups. To accommodate user preference, the 590BTS features a tube-mounted throttle, while the 590BFS comes with a frame-mounted throttle.
Available now, the blowers retail for $890.
