STIHL BR 700 professional petrol backpack leaf blower
The STIHL BR 700 petrol backpack leaf blower is designed for professionals who need to clear large areas quickly and efficiently. Its 35 N blowing force makes it particularly well suited to landscapers, grounds-maintenance teams, estates, local authorities and customers dealing with substantial quantities of leaves, grass cuttings, hedge trimmings and loose debris.
A powerful 64.8cc STIHL 4-MIX engine is combined with an adjustable blower tube, tool-free handle adjustment, anti-vibration technology and a comfortable backpack carrying system. This gives the BR 700 the performance required for demanding clearance work while helping the operator remain comfortable during longer working sessions.

Who is the STIHL BR 700 suitable for?
The BR 700 is primarily intended for professional and heavy-duty users who regularly clear extensive outdoor areas. It is a strong choice for:
- Professional landscapers and gardeners
- Grounds-maintenance contractors
- Schools, colleges and commercial premises
- Local authorities and parks departments
- Large estates and substantial private properties
- Clearing paths, car parks, lawns and landscaped areas
- Removing leaves, grass clippings, hedge trimmings and loose debris
For occasional work around a smaller domestic garden, a handheld or cordless blower may be easier to store and operate. The BR 700 is most appropriate when high output, extended use and large-area productivity are the main priorities.
Key features of the STIHL BR 700
35 N professional blowing force
Blowing force provides a useful overall comparison of a blower’s ability to move material. With 35 N available, the BR 700 can clear large quantities of leaves, cuttings and debris efficiently, reducing the time needed to maintain extensive areas.
Powerful STIHL 4-MIX engine
The 64.8cc STIHL 4-MIX engine combines strong torque and acceleration with a compact design. Unlike a conventional four-stroke engine with a separate oil circuit, the 4-MIX engine runs on a petrol-and-oil fuel mixture. This helps provide the high output required for professional clearance work while keeping the engine relatively compact.
Comfortable backpack carrying system
Wide padded shoulder straps, a supportive back pad and a hip belt help distribute the machine’s weight across the operator’s shoulders, back and hips. This is particularly beneficial when the blower is being used for extended periods.
STIHL anti-vibration system
Buffer and spring elements reduce the transmission of engine vibration to the operator. Although appropriate working practices and breaks remain important, the anti-vibration system makes the blower more comfortable to control during demanding work.
Adjustable blower tube
The blower tube can be shortened or extended to suit the operator’s height, the available working space and the type of clearance task. A shorter setting is useful in restricted areas, while the extended position provides comfortable reach during general clearance work.
Tool-free handle adjustment
The control handle can be repositioned without tools. This allows different operators to set up the machine for a more natural working posture and gives better control of the blower tube.
Single-handed multi-function control
The important operating controls are positioned together on the control handle. The infinitely variable throttle can be locked at the required setting, reducing the need to hold the trigger continuously during longer jobs.
Long-life filtration
The BR 700 uses a long-life air-filter system designed to protect the engine when working in dusty or debris-filled environments. Regular inspection and servicing remain important for maintaining starting performance, fuel efficiency and engine life.
STIHL BR 600 vs BR 700 vs BR 800
The BR 700 sits between the BR 600 and BR 800 in STIHL’s professional petrol backpack-blower range.
The STIHL BR 600 backpack blower is a strong alternative for customers who want professional performance in a slightly lighter and less expensive package.
The BR 700 offers greater blowing performance and is better suited to users regularly clearing extensive areas or heavier accumulations of material.
For STIHL’s highest petrol backpack-blower performance, consider the STIHL BR 800 C-E backpack blower. Its 41 N blowing force and side-start system make it the better option for the most demanding clearance work, including frequent work with large quantities of heavy or wet leaves.
Why Masseys recommends the STIHL BR 700
We recommend the BR 700 to professional customers who need noticeably more clearance performance than a handheld blower but do not necessarily require the maximum output of the BR 800.
Its 35 N blowing force provides a strong balance of productivity and controllability. The adjustable blower tube and handle make it easier to set the machine up for different operators, while the padded harness, hip belt and anti-vibration system are valuable during longer working sessions.
