3X the Power of Portable Blowers!
The X12 is our most basic walk-behind blower, but it is vastly more powerful than any handheld or backpack blower—and much easier to use! A 6.6 HP DR OHV engine turns an all-steel impeller that generates a 1200 CFM airflow (with 200 mph velocity).
The X12 rolls easily on its big 16” wheels so there is no strain on your back, arms, or neck. The air nozzle is fully adjustable, allowing you to blow air to either side of the machine or anywhere in between. Airflow can also be vertically adjusted in a 35º range so you can control how far you blow materials. The X12 is a powerful blower and a great value!
Optional Blower Hose for Hard to Reach Areas
Add our optional blower hose for ten feet of extra reach into areas where you can’t roll the X12—in garden beds, along foundations, in window wells, etc.
180º LATERAL AIR CONTROL
You can easily rotate the air discharge nozzle so that it blows air to either side of the machine. When you get to the end of a row, simply turn the machine around, rotate the nozzle 180º, and keep moving leaves in the same direction. (With fixed position machines you are forced to walk backwards on the return trip).
35º VERTICAL AIR CONTROL
The vertical adjustment allows you to aim low when you need to dislodge wet or matted materials, aim high when working with lighter materials (or when you want to avoid kicking up dust), or keep the airstream parallel to the ground to maximize blowing distance.
6.6 HP DR ENGINE
High-quality 6.6 HP DR OHV engine (223cc) produces 9.59 ft-lbs gross torque (at 2500 rpm per SAE J1940).
LIGHTWEIGHT, EASY TO USE
At just 107 lbs, the X12 is similar in weight to many lawn mowers, but with the high wheel design it is much easier to push and maneuver. Rear wheels are 16” x 2”, with diamond tread pattern, and will never go flat. The front wheel is 10” x 2.75”.
ERGONOMIC HANDLEBARS
Operator-friendly, v-shaped handlebar is covered with thick foam padding for a soft, comfortable grip. Height is adjustable (from 30” to 49”) without tools.
OPTIONAL BLOWER HOSE
Our 10-foot hose attachment give you extra reach into areas you can’t wheel your DR Leaf Blower—into garden beds, along foundations, in window wells, etc.
OPTIONAL GUTTER CLEANING NOZZLE
Add this special nozzle to the Optional Blower Hose for unclogging gutters of sticks, leaves, and other dry materials.

Customer Photos
Wow!! This really does the job!!
My blower arrived while I was in the middle of recovering from total knee replacement, so I was late in getting it out of the box. The first thing that I noticed was the handle cushion was rubbed down to the paint during shipping. It was easy to set up and get it serviced. I tried it out on a heavy stand of leaves and was amazed how easily it moved them. The blower is heavy and can be difficult to move depending on the terrain, but was completely satisfied on how it performed. I will have to adjust the position of the handle and this should make it more maneuverable. I do wish I had paid for the addition of the movable front wheel.

Blower
I've consistently found DR products to be reliable and have consistently chosen them when upgrading my residential equipment. However, my recent experience with this blower has left me uncertain. Starting it is notably challenging, requiring one person to stabilize the mower while another pulls the cord. Individuals lacking upper body strength may find it nearly impossible to start. This has been a disappointing aspect of my purchase
Q.1. Where is the leaf blower made? 2. Why does it take so long for shipping?
A.Thank you for reaching out to us. Our products are engineered and built in the USA. All machines are built to order. Their build time is dependent on an internal building schedule based on materials available.

Q.Will this unit pick up fine sawdust and discharge it into a container about 8 to 10 feet away?
A.Thank you for your question. This machine does not pick up materials, it blows material away.

Q.What material are tires and wheels made of?
A.Thank you for reaching out. The tires are semi-pneumatic. The front is rubber and back is plastic.

Q.I have an X12 Leaf Blower and I am very satisfied with the product. I also have a compact tractor that I use around my property and was thinking that I could attach the blower to the 3 point hitch (Cat 1) on the tractor and ride the property rather than walk to blow the leaves. Do you make a conversion bracket to provide a three point hitch mount for the blower unit? It looks like it would be fairly simple to have this add on option which would allow both walking behind and attaching to the tractor for larger applications.
A.Thank you for reaching out. We do not have a conversion kit to make this into a 3-Point Hitch compatible machine.

Q.Can you explain how the 180 Deg outlet on the leaf blower functions. It's a feature that I am desirable of..
A.Thank you for your question. The machine has a 180º Lateral Airflow Adjustment (manual control). The manual controls allow you to direct the air.
