There are tons of blowers to choose from these days, and the performance range runs the gamut. That encompasses everything from mini handheld variations to high-powered backpack units. However, if you’re looking for a leaf blower with a FEMA setting on its controls, there’s always a walk-behind model. This setup allows for a bigger engine and a heavier design, like the Billy Goat’s F602X walk behind blower.
In fact, we named this model the best walk-behind leaf blower on our Best Leaf Blower Reviews list. Here’s a look at why.
This one isn’t the only powerful option. Check out our Best Backpack Leaf Blower Reviews list for more!
Billy Goat F602X Walk Behind Blower Features
The F602X landed on our best blowers roster for a few reasons, which we’ll address throughout this article. To start with, we like its power.
Specs
- Model: Billy Goat F602X
- Engine: 205cc Briggs & Stratton 950 XR
- Blowing force: 200 mph, 1150 CFM
- Fan: 16 blades
- Fuel capacity: .87 gal

This beast uses a Briggs & Stratton 950 XR Professional Series engine, which gives it a longer-lasting power plant. However, perhaps most importantly, this 205cc setup generates an impressive blowing force of 200 mph and 1150 CFM.
And yet, in spite of this power, it’s rather light for its class at 83 pounds. Indeed, from what Billy Goat tells us, the FS602X weighs about 30% less than comparable steel-built walk behind blowers.
Billy Goat F602X Walk Behind Blower Design
Equally important is how Billy Goat’s design team harnesses this power and performance.
For example, there’s the brand’s patented aim N shoot technology, which directs this tool’s massive airflow where you need it. With so high a combination of wind speed and CFMs, such control is imperative to working efficiently and effectively.
And finally, there’s the fan. This Billy Goat walk behind blower comes equipped with a 16-blade design, which the manufacturer says is twice as many as other units on the market.
F602X Price
This model retails for $999. Moreover, Billy Goat backs its walk behind blower with a 1-year limited warranty.
