Source: yardmax.com (verified 2026-08-09) · corroborated by amazon.com. YARDMAX's own product listing and Amazon/Lowe's retail copy confirm a Briggs & Stratton CR950 208cc engine (listed as 6.5 HP by Home Depot/YARDMAX and 9.5 HP by Lowe's title copy — the discrepancy is noted rather than resolved, as both figures are manufacturer-attributed on different retail channels), a self-feeding side chute for branches up to 3 in., 10:1 reduction ratio, 226 lb weight, and 10 x 4 in. pneumatic tires. No collection-bag volumetric capacity was located on any fetched source, so that field is null. Home Depot's own product page returned HTTP 403 on direct re-fetch; figures corroborated via Amazon and manufacturer site instead.
