Briggs & Stratton Vanguard Engines

Premium commercial power.

Everything about Vanguard™ engines is superior in quality, construction and performance. They are the finest engines that Briggs & Stratton® builds. Designated as Commercial Power Engines for service in critical applications like emergency generators and construction equipment, we are proud to offer them on the Cyclone Rake XL, Commercial PRO and Commander.

A: Massive Engine Block and Head Castings are far heavier than those on lower quality engines. These provide greater strength and rigidity, plus lower vibration and noise levels.

B: Forged Steel Crankshaft has far higher strength than the cast iron shafts used on lower quality engines.

C: Heavy Duty Dual Ball Bearings support the crankshaft on both ends, rather than the single bearing commonly used. This gives longer life and higher power output because of reduced friction. It also makes engine starting much easier.

D: Heat Treated Steel Gears, rather than molded plastic used on lower grade engines

E: Dura-Bore™ Cast Iron Cylinders for improved oil control and greatly increased engine life.

F: Premium Lo-tone Exhaust System provides exceptional noise reduction.

G: Rugged 4-liter All-steel Fuel Tank with built-in fuel filter. Withstands the toughest working conditions and gives extended run times.

H: Dual Element High Capacity Air Cleaner captures harmful particles down to 5 microns in size. Combines a pleated media filter with debris ejection slots and foam pre-cleaner to provide maximum engine protection.
