The BRA 600 is the most powerful battery-powered backpack leaf blower from STIHL. Designed with professionals in mind, its capable of taking on the toughest clearing jobs you may face during the working day. Part of the AP System of battery tools, the BRA 600 uses the power of 2 AP batteries for its 72 volt motor – resulting in an extremely powerful maximum blowing force of 35 newtons; the equivalent of the BR 700 petrol professional backpack blower and 3 Newtons higher than the BRA 500. The BRA 600 is ideal for the most demanding cleaning jobs, such as clearing large areas in parks, as well as in fields, paths, streets. It’s high blowing force means it can blow heavy and wet leaves, grass and hedge trimmings or rubbish with ease too. Like with all STIHL AP System tools, the BRA 600 has constant power output – meaning it maintains its high power output throughout the whole charge of the battery. Whilst the backpack leaf blower has a weight of 14.5 kg with two AP 500 S batteries inserted, it has excellent weight distribution. This is due to the positioning of the batteries and the motor which are snugly against the operators back. This design is much improved compared to the petrol backpack leaf blower design, where the engine is exterior to the fan wheel – this all results in a more comfortable experience for use over long working periods. The carrying system of the BRA 600 is extremely comfortable to wear too thanks to the shoulder and weight padding (the same padding that is used on the BR 800 petrol backpack leaf blower). STIHL’s innovative noise reduction system is built into the BRA 600 too. This reduces the high frequency noises due to the low fan RPM and noise insulation on the leaf blower. It makes using the BRA 600 around schools, parks or public spaces more pleasant for bystanders. An aluminium tube at the base of the BRA 600 means carrying the blower to and from the work vehicle is even easier. It also helps to increase the durability of the machine during transport. It also has a built-in electronic interface on the control handle which lets you control the speed of the leaf blower between Low, Mid, High and Boost modes. It also shows useful information such as the battery charge, the ability to switch to cruise control, check the connectivity and show basic diagnosis information. The BRA 600 has STIHL Connected built into the machine. The BRA 600 cannot be used with one battery and must be used with two AP batteries. For the longest working time we recommend using the leaf blower with two AP 500 S batteries.
