With gas prices soaring and no end in sight I have been thinking about machines lately. So does anyone know what the most efficient around 400 cfm machine is? Doesn't have to be new, could be a used one.

I have 2500 hours on my 31 horse Agies. Runs great with few problems.idreadnought said:Larry, Iv'e looked at your machine with that engine and the 4mr blower. Do you have gph fuel usage estimates on it? Also I am having a hard time finding data that supports the 400cfm or 17" lift of that blower. On sutorbilt site the max is 16" and 380 cfm under no load.
Actually finding any information on real world fuel usage on that motor is nearly impossible. Also finding expected lifespan has been very difficult. I even went on a bunch of lawn mowers boards and no one has thousands of hours on that engine yet.
