The LV-18EVG has an 18hp Twin cylinder vanguard engine. This is a compact high-powered machine that has the ability to be mounted and adapted in many different ways (ex: skid mounting, swing away). This heavy duty machine features a replaceable housing liner, 12inch intake hose, and 8 inch discharge opening just like the big boys making this unit a real work horse. It is equipped with Fradan’s EXCLUSIVE 6 bladed cast steel impeller with easy removable Fradan taper locking hub making this the best impeller in the business. Due to its impressive blower housing design, this loader has the ability to consume large piles of leaves and debris pulverizing them to a ratio of up to 15:1. In other words, this makes the pile 15 times smaller. Standard Features: - The unit is equipped with an adjustable hose boom which aids in reducing user fatigue. - This unit is also equipped with replaceable housing liners. This strengthens the blower housing and increases longevity by putting the wear and tear all on the liners. When liners wear out, simply replace them.
