Overview
Husqvarna 150BT Gas Backpack Leaf Blower
The Husqvarna 150BT is a gas-powered backpack leaf blower for homeowners with large properties and for anyone handling routine yard cleanup plus heavier jobs like wet leaves. This is a 2-cycle backpack blower designed for clearing leaves, debris, litter and grass clippings, sold under Husqvarna article number 970 46 69-01. It comes with a round nozzle and an integrated harness.
The 51.7cc engine produces 2.16 horsepower at a maximum power speed of 7,000 RPM and delivers 22 newtons of blowing force. Husqvarna rates airflow at 765 CFM in the housing and up to 270 MPH air speed with the round nozzle. Airflow measured at the round nozzle is 452 CFM. In practice, that is enough air to move matted, wet leaves that a handheld blower leaves behind.
Comfort matters on a backpack blower because you wear it for the whole job. The 150BT uses a padded harness, a hip belt and a weight-leveling load management system to keep the 21.95 pound unit balanced on your back. The variable speed throttle includes a cruise control option, so you can lock in engine speed and give your hand a break on long passes.
Starting is simplified by an air purge that clears air from the carburetor and fuel system before you pull. The fuel tank holds 42.6 fluid ounces, and Husqvarna specifies a 50:1 fuel-to-oil mix.
Noise is rated at 110 dB(A) at the operator's ear, so hearing protection is a must. Handle vibration is rated at 6.1 meters per second squared.
The 150BT is a good match for homeowners on an acre or more, property managers and anyone who has outgrown a handheld blower but does not need a commercial-duty backpack unit.

Pro Tip
Set the harness and hip belt before you start the engine, with the load-leveling adjusted so the blower rides on your hips. Once it is running at full throttle, it is much harder to fix a strap that is digging into your shoulder.
