Wiedenmann UK\u2019s premier leaf and debris blower, the Mega Twister, is helping keep the tidy appearance of tourist trails across Cornwall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Family-owned contractor, Sandoe & Sons, which comprises a three-way partnership of brothers Glyn and John, with father, Roger, are involved with hedge trimming and path clearance on each of The Camel Trail at Wadebridge, The Clay Trails of St Austell and Tolgus Mining Trails at Redruth. Projects include work with Cormac Solutions and Cornwall Council, as well as some for the Wildlife Trust. They have established a really reliable, loyal team of staff which allows them to maintain a high standard across the board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glyn Sandoe, who has been leading these operations, says their recently purchased super strength, front-mounted Wiedenmann Mega Twister has made an incredible difference to productivity and enjoyment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019d only been using a road brush which does a good job but when you have a lot of light leaf litter or dusty situations, the brush is slow.  However, now, with the blower you can fly through. When we work both machines in tandem- the brush on the back and the blower up front, that works well\u2026 You choose one or the other, or both at the same time. So, even if there\u2019s particularly heavy mulch you still get a great result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIts very user friendly and with the joystick in the tractor its lovely to operate.  For us it\u2019s a front mounted machine with no looking over your shoulder and no need to back up.  Fewer movements help save fuel, all marginal savings we will take.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mega Twister has 230 degrees of swivel and 390 m\u00b3 per minute worth of blow. It\u2019s turning action allows efficient all-round work from left to right without turning. A goose neck nozzle is operated from the cab of Glyn\u2019s compact John Deere 4066R with the outlet spout lifting up and down and directed to different angles, depending on conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSometimes,\u201d continued Glyn, \u201cI run it on the front with the hedge trimmer on the back. If there\u2019s been some thorny growth that we\u2019ve cut and left on a cycle path we can blow it off quick with the combination. Generally, if we are cutting the trails in the winter, the tractor and brush will stay together for a period of weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s only been in operation for us a few months, so clients are only just aware we have it; I\u2019ve no doubt it will help win us more work. I\u2019m seeing first-hand how it fits year-round with what we do. In the summer, it\u2019s dust and dry debris that is against us and can be the issue.  This will sort that and is a very quick and efficient way of resolving this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sandoe family, whose business began in Nanstallon, Bodmin in 2004, initially with an emphasis on agricultural matters, has enjoyed a long standing relationship with Cornwall dealer Mason Kings at St Columb Major, happy with their recommendations and service provision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

David Barnes, Turf Sales Consultant at Mason Kings, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGlyn\u2019s requirements for a blower were absolutely the spec of a Mega Twister. Power, performance and ability to front mount were of huge importance. Sometimes things just fall into place.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
