I bought this same machine (only self propelled) but took it back / & I didn't like how it only blows ONE direction. Also: "you need the strength of a mule to engage the S.P. feature". It was a NICE NICE machine ... but just not "versatile" enough.
They really aren't that difficult to get used to. If you know exactly where you want the leaves you can sure move them there quicker than you could with a backpack. The chute is helpful too, allowing you to direct the air up and down. Some even have a rubber piece that mounts to the chute to direct air forwards, as this one in the video has.
umm you turn it whichever way you wanna blow but yeah i guess ik what you mean we used to use these than scag made a 4 wheel blower and we use that now
The 13 has a lot more air debit. The 8 is a good machine but often you can get desapointed with the 8 hp because inconsciously when you push a walk behind blower it is never enough power.
