STIHL Vacuum Attachment Kit for BGE 71 & BGE 81

If you’re tired of raking and bagging leaves, this kit turns your compatible STIHL BGE blower into a powerful leaf vacuum. As you collect, leaves pass the impeller and are shredded so the bag fills more efficiently and the contents can often go straight on the beds as mulch.

Ideal when you want quick cleanup without extra trips to the compost heap. Fit it to your BGE 71 or BGE 81 and switch from blowing to vacuuming in minutes.

Advice from gardenmachineshop.com

Empty the bag before it’s overly full—shredded material gets dense, and lighter loads keep suction strong and handling easy.
