Description

Overview
The STIHL BG 86 is a premium, contractor-grade handheld blower engineered for those who demand the highest levels of power and durability in a portable frame. Powered by a high-torque 27.2cc STIHL 2-MIX® engine, this model is specifically designed to tackle large-scale debris removal, from wet, matted leaves to heavy lawn clippings. The defining feature of the BG 86 is its professional-grade HD2 air filter, which is made of polyethylene filter material with pores up to 70% finer than standard filters, ensuring the engine remains protected from even the finest dust in bone-dry conditions.
Operator endurance and precision are at the heart of the BG 86’s design. It features a sophisticated four-spring anti-vibration system that isolates engine oscillations from the handle, virtually eliminating hand-arm numbness during long shifts. The tool is equipped with a throttle lock and stop button integrated into a single-lever control, allowing for “cruise control” operation on large properties. With its high-velocity air stream and specialized ElastoStart™ handle for effortless recoil starting, the STIHL BG 86 is a rugged, industrial-strength powerhouse built for the most demanding outdoor maintenance schedules.

Top Performance Features

STIHL 2-MIX® Low-Emission Engine: Provides a massive increase in torque over a wide RPM range while reducing fuel consumption and exhaust emissions by up to 20%.

Four-Spring Anti-Vibration Technology: A high-end dampening system that separates the engine from the handle, providing a smooth, fatigue-free experience for the professional user.

HD2 Heavy-Duty Air Filter: An industrial-grade, water-repellent filter that captures microscopic dust particles and is easily cleaned for a significantly longer engine life.

STIHL ElastoStart™ System: Features a specialized shock absorber in the starter handle that reduces the “kick” felt during the pulling motion, making every start effortless.

Throttle Lock & Cruise Control: Allows the operator to set a consistent air speed for long-duration clearing, reducing hand strain from constant trigger squeezing.

Dual-Nozzle Capability: Comes standard with both round and flat nozzles, allowing you to switch between high-volume air for wide areas and high-velocity air for stubborn debris.

Manual Fuel Primer & Semi-Automatic Choke: Simplifies the starting procedure by delivering fuel directly to the carburetor and preventing engine flooding.

Balanced Ergonomic Grip: The weight is perfectly distributed to point the blower naturally toward the ground, minimizing the effort needed to maintain the correct blowing angle.
