VIRGINIA BEACH , Va. ) – The new STIHL BR 430 backpack blower delivers the dependable power professionals need to complete tough jobs with improved fuel economy and greater operator comfort. Its advanced engine technology provides less exhaust emissions than standard 2-stroke engines, reducing environmental impact, while its larger fuel tank allows for longer run times as compared to the previous model.

 

In addition, the BR 430 is ergonomically designed to help reduce user fatigue. An advanced anti-vibration system provides more comfortable operation for extended use, and a simplified starting procedure makes it easier to begin the task at hand.

 

Back padding, broad shoulder straps and a rubberized grip provide improved support and comfort. The tube-mounted throttle allows for single handed operation while the 4-inch wear area on the tube nozzle provides greater durability.

 

Dependable and fuel efficient, the STIHL BR 430 is a great professional backpack blower to help  landscapers and landowners breeze through clearing debris and other tough jobs.
