Scag Extreme Pro Honda 13HP

Description

Scag Extreme Pro Walk-Behind Blower with 13 HP Honda GX390

The most powerful walk-behind blower Scag builds, running a Honda GX390 at 13 horsepower on the Extreme Pro chassis.

The Top of the Wheeled Range

Beyond this machine the next step is a stand-on blower at roughly six times the price, which makes this the practical ceiling for most contractors. It handles wet leaves, gravel-strewn car parks and the volumes that come after a storm, which are the conditions where smaller wheeled blowers stop being useful.

Powerful Blowers Cause Complaints

At this output the machine moves grit, gravel and water as readily as leaves, and it does so toward whatever is in front of it. Working away from parked cars, glazing and open windows rather than past them is not fussiness. It is the difference between a cleanup and a paint repair, and the operator is usually the last to notice what was behind them.

Eye Protection Is Not Negotiable

At this output the machine throws grit at speed, and it does so at roughly head height once it hits a wall or a kerb. Safety glasses are the minimum and they matter more on this machine than on anything else in a landscape fleet, because the hazard comes back at the operator rather than going away from them.

Hearing Too

A full day behind a 13 horsepower blower is exactly the exposure that causes cumulative damage.

Where This Sits

The LBX15-GX270 and LBX15-BV10 are the standard Extreme machines below it. Above it, the Windstorm WS23-37BV-EFI is a stand-on machine in an entirely different price bracket.
