Removable bags in the rear is the most common
form of collection system. Using the mower deck belt power, it propels a
'blower' via belt from the right side spindle. This forces the debris up the tube to the rear.
Once installed, usually these
are very easy on/off. Works absolutely beautifully!
Bobcat, Gravely,
and Toro all have their own respective
forms of this type.
Everything is sucked into the rear with a 'pony' motor and
impeller. Then you empty a 44 gal.
container instead of hopper. The boot that goes on to the deck is custom
made per machine. There are various configurations, including multiple
bag, fixed motor, and more. These were extremely common at one point,
but since the Z mfrs now have their own collection systems, this unit is
becoming obsolete.
We've been selling BillyGoat products for years, and have been very
satisfied. This year is no different. Even their most economical
truck loader is a good performer. We are very
satisfied with it's performance, durability, and it is quieter than many
competitors! That, combined with it's lighter weight, make this a sure
performer.
Using Pirahna™ technology, BillyGoat has
shredding blade mounted inside the blower impeller to shred debris even
finer.
For easy access to truck bed, use the optional swing
away hitch. Plus these units may be mounted on trailers. We've
seen many places our customers have mounted these in such creative ways
that would make even NASA jealous.
LittleWonder has their own version of what
they feel a truck loader should look and act like. This thing is tremendous!
From our experience, we believe they were one of the first to have a
'pre-shredding' device on their impeller.
'Talon' is the trade name given to their aggressive claw, designed to eat and shred
debris. Shredding counts, because that's all the more that you can fit into your 'box' !!
