The STIHL BRA 280 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 AP System, the BRA 280 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 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 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 offers excellent balance and comfort during prolonged use. Even when fitted with two 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 can be operated with one or two STIHL 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.
