Billy Goat DL3701VETR Leaf Dragon Debris Loader

The Billy Goat DL3701VETR Leaf Dragon Debris Loader is a high-capacity commercial debris-loading system designed for municipalities, landscape contractors, property maintenance crews, and other professionals handling demanding leaf and organic debris cleanup. Powered by a 993 cc (60.6 cu in) Vanguard EFI engine with electric start, the Leaf Dragon delivers up to 6,900 CFM of suction power and combines a trailered configuration with an ergonomic boom, 3-position boom locking system, and extensive curbside reach. Its heavy-duty impeller, quick-access service design, integrated tool storage, and specialized discharge system help crews collect and load large volumes of debris efficiently while reducing operator effort and cleanup time.

KEY FEATURES

• 6,900 CFM SUCTION POWER: High-volume airflow of up to 6,900 CFM (195.4 m³/min) provides the suction needed for demanding commercial leaf and debris collection. This substantial airflow helps municipal and contractor crews move through large curbside cleanups quickly and efficiently.
• VANGUARD EFI ENGINE: The 993 cc (60.6 cu in) Vanguard EFI engine combines commercial power with electronic fuel injection for dependable operation. EFI technology provides automotive-style cold-weather starting and can deliver fuel savings of up to 25%, helping reduce operating costs during intensive seasonal use.
• ELECTRIC START: Electric starting simplifies engine startup and reduces the effort required to put the machine into service. This is especially beneficial for commercial crews that may start and stop equipment repeatedly throughout a workday.
• 25 IN (63.5 CM) DIAMETER ARMOR PLATE STEEL IMPELLER: The heavy-duty 25 in (63.5 cm) Armor Plate steel impeller is built for demanding debris-loading applications. Its four-blade configuration incorporates 12 cutting points to help process incoming leaves and debris while maintaining strong material movement through the system.
• SOFT-ANGLE SQUARE DISCHARGE ELBOW: The discharge system incorporates a soft-angle square elbow designed to reduce concentrated wear as material exits the loader. The angled configuration can reduce wear by up to 50%, helping extend component life in demanding commercial applications.
• 12 IN (30.5 CM) WIDE STEEL DISCHARGE CHUTE: The discharge system transitions from an 11 in (27.9 cm) square elbow to a 12 in (30.5 cm) outside-diameter round discharge. Its heavy-duty construction supports efficient loading while handling the abrasive conditions associated with leaves and collected debris.
• 3-POSITION BOOM LOCKING SYSTEM: The boom can be secured in three positions to provide flexible hose management during operation and transport. This helps crews position the collection hose conveniently while reducing unnecessary handling effort.
• BEST-IN-CLASS CURBSIDE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM: The trailered configuration and ergonomic boom arrangement are designed specifically to simplify curbside leaf and debris collection. The setup provides approximately 45 sq ft (4.2 m²) of cleanup coverage and up to twice the reach of many conventional configurations.
• ERGONOMIC HOSE HANDLES: Integrated hose handles provide operators with improved control while directing the intake hose across piles of leaves and debris. Better handling helps reduce fatigue and makes repetitive curbside collection easier during extended cleanup operations.
• 16 IN × 10 FT (40.6 CM × 3.0 M) INTAKE HOSE: The large-diameter intake hose provides substantial material-handling capacity while giving operators useful reach around curbside debris piles. Its size complements the machine's 6,900 CFM (195.4 m³/min) airflow for high-volume commercial cleanup.
• NO-TOOL IMPELLER ACCESS: A quick-access service door provides convenient access to the impeller and liner for inspection and maintenance. Eliminating cumbersome disassembly can reduce service time and help crews return the machine to work faster.
• BUILT-IN ROAD CONE AND RAKE HOLDER: Integrated storage provides convenient locations for commonly needed roadside cleanup equipment. Keeping cones and rakes directly on the machine helps crews stay organized and reduces unnecessary trips back to the tow vehicle.
• ADJUSTABLE HITCH: The adjustable hitch helps accommodate different compatible towing setups and working requirements. This provides additional flexibility when integrating the Leaf Dragon into an existing municipal or contractor equipment fleet.
• INTEGRAL WHEEL CHOCK HOLDER: Built-in wheel-chock storage keeps an important trailer safety accessory readily available when the machine is parked. Dedicated storage also reduces the likelihood of wheel chocks being misplaced between jobs.
• TRAILERED COMMERCIAL DESIGN: The integrated trailer configuration is designed for mobile curbside collection operations and transportation between cleanup locations. This setup allows municipalities and contractors to deploy a high-capacity debris loader as a purpose-built mobile cleanup system.

APPLICATIONS / USE CASES

• MUNICIPAL LEAF COLLECTION: The Leaf Dragon is designed for demanding municipal curbside cleanup programs where crews need to collect large volumes of leaves efficiently. High airflow, extensive hose reach, and a trailered configuration support repetitive neighborhood collection routes.
• COMMERCIAL LANDSCAPING: Landscape contractors can use the debris loader for seasonal cleanups across large residential, commercial, and institutional properties. Its 6,900 CFM (195.4 m³/min) airflow helps crews process substantial leaf piles while reducing manual loading requirements.
• CURBSIDE DEBRIS PICKUP: The ergonomic boom and 3-position locking system allow operators to manage the intake hose efficiently along streets and curbs. Approximately 45 sq ft (4.2 m²) of cleanup coverage provides extensive working reach from the machine.
• LARGE PROPERTY CLEANUPS: Campuses, parks, estates, commercial grounds, and other large properties can benefit from the Leaf Dragon's high-volume collection capability. The trailered platform allows the machine to be repositioned as crews move between cleanup areas.
• SEASONAL FALL CLEANUP: High suction capacity and a commercial Vanguard EFI engine make the machine particularly well suited to intensive fall leaf collection. Electric start and EFI technology also help simplify operation as temperatures drop later in the season.
• PROFESSIONAL GROUNDS MAINTENANCE: Property-maintenance crews can use the Leaf Dragon as part of a larger debris-management operation. Integrated rake and road-cone storage helps keep commonly required tools close to the work area.
