Video monitorAt GIE+EXPO 2012, Billy Goat Industries showcased its complete lineup of renovation and cleanup equipment, including four new products, as well as introduced one solution. The new products were the Z Force Blower, QuietVac, Outback Brushcutter, and a 35-hp. truck loader. The solution was the integration of a video monitor for its merchandiser.
The Z Force Blower quickly attaches to any major zero-turn mower via standard heavy-duty JRCO mounting bracket. The blower has a 360-degree rotational discharge, allowing air to be diverted in any direction with the tap of a foot on the magnetically mounted pedal for rapid leaf and grass cleanup.
The 33-inch QuietVac (QV) has an advanced cyclonic filtering system, along with exclusive dust sock technology, that dramatically reduces dust in dry conditions and cleans quietly at 84.5 dBA, the lowest noise level in its class. QV features a self-propelled hydrostatic drive with shift-on-the-fly transmission, which has infinite forward/reverse speeds for excellent maneuverability; a six-blade propriety armor plate fan, which offers up to 12-to-1 reduction for composting in dry conditions; and a 51-gallon-capacity turf bag, which loads/unloads easily with a hassle-free, two-latch bag system.
Billy Goat extended its Outback Brushcutter line with the BC2600 Series. The BC26 comes standard with Tuff Torq hydrostatic transmission, featuring Enhanced Traction Control (ETC) and pivoting deck with return to neutral. The hydrostatic transaxle with ETC is fully automatic, sensing when a rear wheel starts to spin, locking the wheel, and providing positive forward traction. Engineered to glide over uneven terrain, the pivoting brush deck hugs the ground for a better cut.
Outdoor booth visitors were given the chance to chunk a pumpkin to experience the productivity of the new DL3500V 35-hp. truck loader and receive a “I blew chunks at GIE+EXPO” T-shirt. Driven by Vanguard power with electric start, the new unit features Billy Goat’s exclusive dual-shredding system with Piranha blade and produces 5,050 cubic feet per minute of suction power. A 20-inch impeller with 18 cutting points provides up to 12-to-1 debris reduction. A 14-inch by 10-foot clear poly helical hose is ideal for taking huge bites out of any debris pile.
Billy Goat also announced the integration of a video monitor for its one- and three-bay merchandisers. The 7-inch, color, swiveling monitor with push-button activation is pre-loaded with six Billy Goat product videos. The battery-operated monitor attaches directly and securely to a Billy Goat merchandiser in minutes and is housed in an attractive white powder-coated steel housing. It helps sales staffs to educate customers about Billy Goat product and provides a comprehensive merchandising solution for retail dealer stores.
