Wiedemann\u2019s Mega Twister is a beast of a blower. With 390 m\u00b3 per minute worth of \u2018blow\u2019 and 230\u00b0 of swivel it certainly lives up to its name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Popular with councils, contractors and golf courses for its productivity, the Mega Twister is the bigger version of Wiedenmann\u2019s original blower, the Whisper Twister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Mike James, Wiedenmann UK\u2019s National Sales Manager, what sets the Mega Twister apart is the design of its fan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBlowers mostly have a vertical turbine that blows to one side. They also have large fins or paddles. The Mega is different because it\u2019s made from lots of small fins. Another plus is the off-centre position of its fan, inside the hopper casing. As the fan starts up, wind within the hopper begins to build in a circular motion. The off-centre allows more space to create even greater acceleration until it reaches its exit point. The 390 m\u00b3 per minute is a huge speed when you compare it to others,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Buchanan Castle Golf Club, at Drymen, is within touching distance of Loch Lomond. Twenty miles from both Glasgow and Stirling, the parkland course, designed by the legendary James Braid, lies in the foothills of the Scottish Highlands. At this time of year, clearing leaves becomes a priority. Joint Course Manager, James Macdonald purchased their Mega Twister just over two years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis blower has everything we were looking for,\u201d said James. \u201cIt\u2019s turning circle comes in very handy. Getting in and around greens and bunkers is a whole lot easier. With our earlier blower you had to drive over greens to blow cuttings and debris out of play. This has extra power, in-cab hydraulic controls and easy rotation. You can park up in one spot yet still achieve more. Making fewer tractor movements ultimately is kinder to the turf and quicker.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fairways GM\u2019s Stuart Cameron said: \u201cThe continuous airflow on the Mega Twister is powerful enough to shift leaves and debris effectively across wide areas, even while damp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWith the hydraulic ram option, the operator in the cab can adjust the nozzle height up and down as well as from side to side, letting you react to conditions. With all that swivel going on there\u2019s no need to back up or stop. The optional goose neck nozzle provides even more precision. The support wheels also protect the turf. It\u2019s a topflight blower.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
