  • Standard XR950-PRO engine delivers reliable power for consistent performance

  • Standard Steel Liner protects the impeller housing from debris impact

  • 4-blade yellow impeller efficiently processes a variety of lawn debris

  • 8-inch diameter PVC deck hose creates improved airflow and debris handling

  • Excellent balance of capacity and maneuverability for versatile property maintenance

  • Experiences seasonal heavy debris that requires efficient collection  

  • Needs more capacity than the Classic but doesn't require our largest models

  • Benefits from a balance of power and maneuverability


The Commander comes standard with the reliable XR950-PRO engine, but you can upgrade your experience with:

  • Commercial-grade engine with greater durability

  • Enhanced performance for more demanding conditions

  • Extended 3-year warranty (compared to the standard 2-year warranty)
