The STIHL BRA 280 B is a battery‑powered backpack leaf blower designed for professional users who need a lighter‑weight solution with strong performance and long working times. Part of the STIHL ALLPRO/AP System, the BRA 280 B delivers a maximum blowing force of up to 26 Newtons, making it a powerful yet balanced option for demanding landscaping and maintenance tasks throughout the working day.
The BRA 280 B is ideal for cleaning work in parks, meadows, paths and roads, where efficient clearing and reduced operator fatigue are essential. Its blowing force allows it to move leaves, grass cuttings and debris quickly and effectively, while the constant power output of the STIHL ALLPRO/AP System ensures that performance remains consistent from the start of the battery charge right through to the end, without any drop in output.
With a low working weight of 7.3 kg excluding the battery, the BRA 280 B offers excellent balance and comfort during prolonged use. Even when fitted with two ALLPRO/AP batteries, it weighs no more than a comparable refuelled petrol backpack blower with similar output. The weight is evenly distributed across the operator’s back thanks to the comfortable carrying system with padded straps and hip belt, helping to reduce strain during longer working periods.
The BRA 280 B can be operated with one or two STIHL ALLPRO/AP batteries. It delivers full performance with just one battery, while using two batteries allows the blower to automatically switch to the second battery once the first is depleted, extending working time without interruption. This flexible battery setup allows users to choose the best balance of weight and runtime for the task in hand.
Blowing power can be precisely controlled via the electronic control handle, which offers four predefined output levels (levels 1–3 and boost) to suit different cleaning applications. The integrated display shows useful information such as battery charge level, making it easier to manage energy throughout the day. For longer tasks, the cruise control function helps maintain a constant output with less effort.
The BRA 280 B also operates quietly, making it particularly suitable for use in inner‑city and noise‑sensitive areas, such as parks, residential zones and public spaces. A rapidly adjustable, extendable blower tube allows quick, tool‑free length adjustment for working in confined or awkward spaces, and can be securely fixed for transport and storage using the integrated metal clip.
Built for professional use in all conditions, the STIHL BRA 280 B is IPX4‑certified, meaning it is splashproof and suitable for use in wet weather. Also available separately is the STIHL adjustable round nozzle - it's a 2-in-1 accessory that lets you easily switch between maximum air volume or maximum air speed when using your tool, to help remove leaves, lawn clippings and hedge trimmings. .
Recommended for use with the ALLPRO AP 300 P/PC battery. Working time with the recommended battery is around 30 - 12 minutes (with 1 battery).
