Q: Does the Force 18 self propel forward and back with variable speed control?.....If so, what is the speed range?.....Thanks
by Joe Grippi from Florida on March 03, 2012
A: Joe - The Billy Got F1802SPV has a single forward speed when the self-propel is engaged. There is no powered reverse. The forward speed is not variable. This unit moves at approx. 3mph when the self-propel is engaged. by Dale, Product Expert

 When looking for some real power, look no further than the Billy Goat F1802SPV or just F18 for short. This self-propelled walk behind leaf blower packs a serious punch when it comes to moving debris.
Equipped with an 18HP Briggs & Stratton Vanguard V-twin engine, the F18 provides the ultimate in volume and power. The engine itself comes standard with full pressurized oil lubrication with spin on oil filter. So being used commercially is no issue at all with the F1802SPV.

This self-propelled walk behind leaf blower packs a serious punch when it comes to moving debris.
Equipped with an 18HP Briggs & Stratton Vanguard V-twin engine, the F18 provides the ultimate in volume and power. The engine itself comes standard with full pressurized oil lubrication with spin on oil filter. So being used commercially is no issue at all with the F1802SPV. To help makes things easier Billy Goat went ahead and added a self-propelled drive system to this beast. Being it is a very heavy machine, Billy Goat wanted to makes things easier on everyone.
Assisting in the high output from the F1802SPV is a 17" single shot composite fan. This is comprised of 16 blades with a closed design helping produce over 200 mph of wind speed. The air volume of this machine is equal to 7 backpack leaf blowers. The housing itself is made almost entirely of composite material, meaning it will never rust or dent and it is backed by a 5-year warranty as well.
With all the power coming from the F1802SPV Billy Goat added its patented Aim-N-Shoot system on this unit. The Aim-N-Shoot system allows anyone using to direct the air flow from the nozzle with just their finger tips. This gives the user far more control and allows the user to direct the flow where it is needed most.
If you were looking for something to handle some serious debris, the F1802SPV is the leaf blower for you. Whether you are clearing leaves, grass clippings or even water the F1802SPV can handle it.

 Billy Goat Force 570cc Vanguard 4-cycle Self-propelled Walk Behind Leaf Blower Review
The Southland Leaf Blower assembles easily and does a nice job at all the tasks it's designed to tackle.
After priming the carb on the first pull, it started quickly and ran well. On the negative side, the rubber cushion on the handle slides around a bit and overall, the unit it just a tad heavy - especially when the (smallish) mulch bag is full. But, that was after about 5 hours of pretty heavy use, so I don't want to give the impression that the unit is too heavy. It's manageable.
Overall, the unit performed quite well. But, don't hold the exhaust port too close to your sweatshirt, or it'll get pretty hot. For me, it was a matter of getting used to the device.
I have to say that it sucked-up 1.5 acres of leaves in that 5-hour span of time, ran continuously and didn't even require refueling. All-in-all, I'm quite pleased with the Southland.
I think I'll get some handlebar tape at the local bike shop and wrap the rubber grip to secure it better. But, other than these small points, the Southland is a terrific buy that does 100% better job than the electric unit I've used previously.
And, the guys at Leaf Blowers Direct did a nice job for me, pre-sale, by answering the couple of questions I had. I give the Southland 4 out of 5 stars. It seems like a pretty solid piece of gear that should perform well for most yard blowing and mulching duties.
