Wiedenmann Mega Twister helps Cornwall contractor maintain tourist trails
Wiedenmann UK ’ s premier leaf and debris blower , the Mega Twister , is helping keep the tidy appearance of tourist trails across Cornwall .
Family-owned contractor , Sandoe & Sons , which comprises a three-way partnership of brothers Glyn and John , with father , Roger , are involved with hedge trimming and path clearance on each of The Camel Trail at Wadebridge , The Clay Trails of St Austell and Tolgus Mining Trails at Redruth . Projects include work with Cormac Solutions and Cornwall Council , as well as some for the Wildlife Trust . They have established a really reliable , loyal team of staff which allows them to maintain a high standard across the board .
Glyn Sandoe , who has been leading these operations , says their recently
purchased super strength , front-mounted Wiedenmann Mega Twister has made an incredible difference to productivity and enjoyment .
“ We ’ d only been using a road brush which does a good job but when you have a lot of light leaf litter or dusty situations , the brush is slow . However , now , with the blower you can fly through .
“ Its very user friendly and with the joystick in the tractor its lovely to operate . For us it ’ s a front mounted machine with no looking over your shoulder and no need to back up . Fewer movements help save fuel , all marginal savings we will take .”
The Sandoe family , whose business began in Nanstallon , Bodmin in 2004 , initially with an emphasis on agricultural matters , has enjoyed a long standing relationship with Cornwall dealer Mason Kings at St Columb Major , happy with their recommendations and service provision .
