Husqvarna and Stihl both make amazing backpack leaf blowers. The Husqvarna 150BT and the Stihl BR 600 are two of the most popular backpack blowers in the space. The BR 600 is similar to the Husqvarna 150 BT in many ways – starting with power.

The MPH of a leaf blower generally ranges from 100 to 250 MPH, and McCoy says, “A good handheld blower can have anywhere from 70 to 700 CFM while a backpack model should have 580 to 900 CFM.”

What is the right gas-oil mix for leaf blower? The right gas to oil ratio will depend on your backpack leaf blower. Usually, a two-cycle engine uses a 50:1 or 40:1 2 stroke oil to gas ratio. But to know the exact measurements of the oil and gas you need to mix, it is best to go and check your owner's manual.

Although, most small engines that require a Gas/Oil Mix will run on 40:1, but it is set up to run better at a 50:1 mix. Many states demand the mix to be a 50:1 mix cutting down on the emissions.

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is a group of soil microbes that are used to control certain insect pests. Each type of Bt makes a unique protein that is toxic to some insects, but not all. Some plants, such as corn, have been genetically engineered to protect themselves by making their own Bt proteins.

BTUs, or British Thermal Units, are a unit of measurement for energy. One BTU is equal to the amount of energy needed to heat one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. BTUs are often used to measure the power of HVAC systems.
