The Southland SWB163150E in use

The Southland SWB163150E

  • Power: The SWB163150E, built by Southland, is a gas-powered leaf blower capable of expelling a maximum air volume of 1200 cubic feet per minute (CFM). Its air speed is rated at 150 MPH.
  • Handling: For bigger jobs covering a large area or for those who simply want to keep their leaf blower on the ground, walk-behind blowers such as the Southland SWB163150E are an ideal choice. They are typically much more powerful than handheld or backpack blowers. The unit features two 12" never-flat wheels at the back, as a well as a swiveling wheel that provides an enhanced freedom of movement on all types of terrain.
  • Engine: The blower is fitted with a 163 cc 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: Southland designed the SWB163150E with control and precision in mind. That’s why this model has 4 speed settings, meaning that its air output can be adjusted to suit the user’s needs.
  • Adjustable Air Flow: The unit features a 3-position adjustable wind vane that allows you to direct your airflow straight, 15 degrees up, or 15 degrees down. For additional convenience, a forward-flow attachment is included and allows the user to redirect the airflow from the side to the front of the push blower.
  • Noise: Its noise rating of 76 dB can be considered the standard for similar gas-powered walk-behind blowers.
  • Fuel Tank: It has an average fuel capacity for a walk-behind blower, with a tank that holds around 112 fl. oz of fuel.

    I bought this a few years ago, don;t remember the price. Right out the box, I couldn’t get it started. Eventually I figured out the directions to push the primer bulb 10x to start didn’t work. I have to pump it 20x and then when it starts I need to keep pumping the primer bulb till it warms up a little. Once I figured that out, it runs fine.

    + PROS: Moves a lot of leaves.
    - CONS: Hard to figure out how to get it to run. Directions where wrong.
