From 4 – 5 November 2015, STIHL will be presenting Saltex visitors with the much anticipated new BGA 100 blower, AR 3000 battery backpack and FSA 90 and 90R brushcutters – the newest additions to STIHL’s cordless range. Show-goers can also look forward to cordless demonstrations and additional new STIHL and VIKING products that will be presented at the National Exhibition Centre Saltex show, Birmingham. 

STIHL invites all press to come and see the team at the STIHL show stand, H070 at this year’s Saltex show.

The new BGA 100 backpack blower boasts the highest blowing force of all STIHL hand-held blowers,  blowing 14N at its most powerful; approximately 70% higher than its predecessor the BGA 85. The innovative new machine is extremely light at a mere 2.5kg (excluding battery) and incredibly quiet thanks to a sound power level of

90dB (A), a 10 dB(A) sound power reduction from the BGA 85. Other key features include  a powerful EC motor for optimum blowing performance, three distinct power stages plus a ‘power boost’ feature and 36V Lithium-Ion PRO battery technology.

The BGA 100 can be perfectly partnered with the new AR 3000 backpack battery to ensure running time of up to 160 minutes off a single charge and 25% more capacity than the AR 900 backpack battery. With comfortable, ergonomic back support and an AP adapter with plug socket for easy charging, the AR 3000 and BGA 100 are the ideal set for professional users in need of a premium tool they can rely on. 

The much anticipated FSA 90 brushcutter, available at approved STIHL dealers in mid-October, will also be presented at Saltex. A powerful machine with a cutting blade and ergonomic bike handle for trimming large areas of tough grass, the FSA 90 is powered by 36V Lithium-Ion PRO battery technology and features STIHL’s powerful EC Motor. Partnered with the new AP300 battery the FSA 90 runs for up to 39 minutes, with ECOSPEED load control helping extend the battery life. Also available mid October and on Show at Saltex is the FSA 90R featuring an auto cut head and loop handle. With all of the benefits of the FSA 90 and a lighter weight at just 2.8kg – the FSA 90R is a powerful, reliable tool for the busy landscaper or professional groundskeeper.

As well as introducing a raft of new professional cordless machines, the new BR 450 professional backpack blower will also be showcased at Saltex. With a powerful 2-MIX engine and tool-less adjustable blower tube and control handle, this machine is fitting for groundskeepers and land owners alike. The adjustable controls combined with STIHL’s anti-vibration system ensures all-day use in comfort, without compromising power.

 VIKING’s range of powerful mowers will also be on display at Saltex. VIKING boasts a myriad of heavy-duty mowers that were produced with the demands of the professional user in mind. Noteworthy is the VIKING MB 756 YC, a robust pro-mower with a 80L fabric grass-catcher bag, high torque hydrostatic drive for variable speed control and an ergonomically shaped mono-comfort handlebar for easy emptying. All of VIKING’s 7 Series mowers are extremely reliable, low maintenance and have been tested by professionals so their high standards are met in every way.
