Description
Overview of the DR X12
The DR X12
- Power: The X12 gas-powered blower, manufactured by DR, is rated for a max air volume of 1200 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and a max air speed of 200 MPH.
- Handling: Walk-behind blowers, like the DR X12, stand out as the most powerful option, ideal for professionals tackling large areas. Their wheeled design and enhanced power make them suitable for heavy-duty tasks, offering stability and efficiency for extensive outdoor maintenance. The unit features two 16" never-flat wheels at the back, as a well as a front wheel that unfortunately does not swivel.
- Engine: The unit is powered by a 223cc DR OHV engine. As this is a 4-stroke engine, the blower does not require a mix of gas and oil in order to run.
- Speed Settings: In order to afford more control to the user, this unit has a variable speed control. No matter the size of the job, the user can adjust the airflow of the DR X12 to match.
- Adjustable Air Flow: The unit allows the user to fully control the air stream direction. With 35° of vertical nozzle rotation, it is possible to either aim low to dislodge wet or matted materials, or high to blow dry materials farther. In addition to that, airflow can also be laterally adjusted over 180°. The operator can decide to blow to their right, their front, their left, or anywhere in between.
- Fuel Tank: With a fuel tank capacity of 0.95 gallon, the unitfalls below the average size for walk-behind blowers, which might require more frequent refills during extended use.
