It is powered using STIHL’s professional AP System AR 2000 L or AR 3000 L backpack batteries.

Thanks to the STIHL Noise Reduction System, the BGA 300 produces fewer high pitch frequencies often associated with cordless blowers, meaning operation is less intrusive for bystanders and is therefore suited for use in noise-sensitive areas such as schools, parks or around public amenities.

The maximum blowing force can be selected from three power setting options via the selector switch, allowing for efficient energy management and longer runtimes. Boost mode may also be selected to provide maximum power for the toughest clearing jobs.

GKB Leaf Reducer:  Leaf clearanceThis offers an economic and environmentally friendly solution to large scale leaf collection – effectively mulching the material and returning it, and its nutrients, back into the surface to the benefit of impoverished soils.

In a single pass, the paddles on the Leaf Reducer collect the leaves before a turbine provides both initial fragmentation and the airflow needed to pull the material into the machine where it is further milled into a fine mulch. This is then returned to the surface via a rear ejector, which can be adjusted to a desired direction depending on the location.

The Leaf Reducer has been developed in direct response to demand from local authorities, looking for a more sustainable working method to using existing tools and trucks to collect and dispose of fallen leaves. When compared to other conventional methods of leaf clearance, the GKB machine emits less than half of the CO2 emissions per hectare of ground covered – and over a 200% reduction on the combination of blowing, vacuuming and composting of material.

The Leaf Reducer is available with a 1.5m working width, and an adjustable working height to treat areas with both low and higher heights of cut.

Redexim Turf TidyLeaf clearanceAvailable with a 1.8m working width, the Turf Tidy is a versatile scarifier collector, which can be used to effectively verti-cut, flail mow or collect leaves on a variety of different turf surfaces.

The fully floating head of the Turf Tidy follows ground contours ensuring accurate collection of leaves and other surface debris such as pine needles, cores or grass clippings. Powerful suction is provided by wind paddles creating updraft in conjunction with the blades, which ensures strong pick up of debris when the sweeper head is fitted, and a superior cut quality when mowing or verti-cutting.

At just over 1500kg, the Turf Tidy 3000 offers a high work rate without demanding a large tractor, meaning that it only requires a 25hp for sweeping, up to 45hp for other operations. Offering a 3.0m3 (106cu.ft) hopper capacity, it features a hydraulic high-tip mechanism, lifting and offloading the hopper contents at a maximum height of 2.17m for quick and convenient emptying straight into a loader or trailer.

For sweeping on hard surfaces, an optional brush head improves leaf and debris collection or, for work on softer ground, the Turf Tidy 3000 can be specified with four rear tyres to help minimise ground pressure.

Easy access to the rotor makes for simple removal and installation of different blades, improving efficiency and reducing machinery downtime.

Trilo Blower Range:  Leaf clearanceThese selection of blowers are designed with large capacities to ensure a far-reaching, effective airflow in a given direction. Powered by a 30hp tractor, the Trilo B7 is a compact, light-weight blower with a reverse exhaust nozzle which can be operated from the driver’s seat. By setting the nozzle downwards, the B7 is capable of cleaning both sides of a path simultaneously. High-power combined with ease of adjustment and optimal manoeuvrability means the B7 is ideal for leaf clearance on car parks, roads or roadside verges.

Moving up through the range the BL960 is one of the most powerful blowers on the market, which requires a 50hp tractor, has a capacity of 385m3/min and delivers an airspeed of 75m/s which makes it a popular choice for large areas such as parks or sports fields. In addition, and like the B7, the exhaust spout can be hydraulically adjusted to deliver powerful airflow in any desired direction.

For effective leaf clearance in smaller areas, Trilo also offer the SU range of vacuum loaders which facilitate the rapid vacuuming of leaves, litter, grass and wood chippings in a compact, easily transportable unit. Mounted on a towable chassis and available in two sizes – the SU40 and SU60, which offers a more powerful motor and features an electrical starter engine – both are equipped with a wander hose for convenient, effective cleaning of restricted-access spaces into an awaiting truck or trailer.
