Vanguard® Powers Award-Winning Billy Goat® Next Gen Debris Loader Series
Green Industry Pros, the nationally recognized magazine serving landscape professionals, names the Vanguard®-powered Billy Goat® Next Gen Debris Loader series a 2020 Editor’s Choice award winner.
The 2020 Green Industry Pros Editor’s Choice Awards represent the landscape industry’s best products gaining interest from end-users and landscape professionals alike. Winners, such as Billy Goat, were chosen by Green Industry Pros’ editorial team based on several different factors, including innovation, dependability, as well as audience engagement on GreenIndustryPros.com.
“Vanguard is proud to power the Next Gen Debris Loader, offering customers both electric start and electronic fuel injection (EFI) options,” says Christine Davison, Senior Manager Marketing, Engines & Power at Briggs & Stratton. “We’d like to extend our congratulations to Billy Goat on this exciting award.”
The Next Gen Debris Loader series features a square 10-gauge steel discharge chute that not only spreads to load but also has a 63% thicker back plate for added durability, extended life and ease of service. Additionally, the poly housing liner features a non-counter sunk bolt pattern that has equal to or better life compared to quarter-inch steel liners in accelerated testing. These composite liners won’t cause secondary failures to engine shafts like a failed steel liner may.
The 13.0 – 37.0 gross HP* truck loaders offer Billy Goat’s exclusive dual shredding system with Piranha™ blade for extra shredding and best debris reduction, maximizing trailer loading across multiple properties, saving time and dump fees.
Electric start is featured on the 14.0, 18.0, 29.0 and 37.0 gross HP* models, with Vanguard® EFI** power on the 37.0 gross HP* loader. EFI delivers easy automotive-type cold weather starting as well as significant fuel savings over carbureted equivalents. And the new Vanguard-powered 14.0 gross HP* unit is the only electric start on the market in its class.
“We’re very pleased to announce the 2020 Editor’s Choice Award winners. This year’s winning products represent the best of what leading manufacturers have to offer for today’s landscape contractor’s trailer,” says Ryan Whisner, editor of Green Industry Pros.
