It is an excellent choice for a wide range of users, from homeowners maintaining their gardens to professional landscapers and municipal teams requiring reliable performance for larger areas.

Efficient and Powerful STIHL 2-MIX Engine

At the heart of the BG 56 is STIHL’s highly power-efficient 2-MIX engine. This advanced 2-stroke engine technology reduces exhaust emissions and lowers fuel consumption, leading to reduced operating costs. Despite its efficiency, it delivers the high blowing power needed to tackle demanding jobs. The engine is low-maintenance and complies with the strict EU Stage V emissions directive, making it a more environmentally conscious choice.

Designed for User Convenience

STIHL has engineered the BG 56 with user comfort and convenience in mind. Weighing just 4.1 kg, it is lightweight and easy to handle, reducing operator fatigue during extended use. Starting the machine is made simpler by the manual fuel pump, which reduces the number of starting strokes required, especially after longer breaks in operation. The ergonomically shaped handle ensures a comfortable and secure grip, allowing for precise control while working.
