SCAG WINDSTORM LEAF BLOWER TICKS A LOT OF BOXES
And when you think of full day ’ s work wearing a backpack blower you can see a further advantage as regards wear and tear on the operator , as Eric did himself , having had a back injury in the past . Not only are you not walking about wearing a backpack , you are riding on the machine , with its comfortable sprung operator stand .
The SCAG Windstorm , supplied by STM Co Ltd , is a stand-on high-power cyclone leaf blower . With an engine size of 37HP you can see that the expression “ highpower ” is not used lightly . The stand-on configuration was developed for the SCAG V-Ride grasscutting range and has proved very successful as a format for ease of transport , visibility and manoeuverability . One such machine has been bought by Eric Gilbert for his Landscaping and grounds maintenance company . These machines are , as can be judged from the picture , quite an investment – but Eric has no trouble justifying it – and not just on financial grounds . The quoted performance figure for the Windstorm is 6000cfm and there are several quotes as to how this translates into time saved , for example : 6 men clearing leaf debris on a holiday park in 30 minutes turns into one man in 20 minutes .
Eric himself , working on big properties , has seen a whole day ’ s intricate work by two people reduced easily to one man in two hours .
Also Eric had also found additional benefits . Where it is requested that grass cuttings are not left behind and the property set-up allows – the Windstorm can blow the cuttings away !
He has also used it to great effect to clear light powdery snow , making it a machine for all year ; and if impacted snow clearance is required , a snow blade can be fitted to his SCAG SWZ pedestrian mower .
A man who has been using SCAG machines for years he was already a convert – and now even more so , with evidence both physical and financial to support his purchase of the SCAG Windstorm .
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
