TOOLS , PLANT & EQUIPMENT

SCAG have introduced their first Electric ride-on – the EVZ

• Power is provided by the Vanguard 48V 5kWh Lithium- Ion commercial battery pack .
• 48V 5kWh *
• Estimated productivity of up to 5 acres per charge , though this depends entirely on cut height , terrain and conditions .
• The required Vanguard 1050W battery charger is included with each mower .
• Estimated charging time : 5 hours = full charge / 3 hours = 80 % charge
Elsewhere , leaf and debris clearance is still high on the agenda this time of year , and the STM / SCAG range of equipment has proved as popular as ever – with impressive sales in 2022 for the SCAG Windstorm ,. And impressive is the right word to describe the specification of the machine as well : this is a stand-on unit , placing the operator on a stand at the back with a knee-pad in front , giving an excellent all-round view for the user . The format is based on the SCAG V-Ride mower but , as opposed to a cutting deck , it has a massive cyclone blower on the front , capable of 6000 cfm output . The power unit is a 37HP Briggs Vanguard engine and the operator drives the machine with twin hand levers to twin rear drive wheels to give zeroturn manoeuverability . Adjustable nozzle direction for the
output completes the picture of a well-designed and highly effective leaf and debris clearance machine .
The machines are available through the STM dealership network . To find your nearest dealer ring 01789 488450 , email info @ st-mach . com or look at our website www . st-mach . com
