The Billy Goat LB352 wheeled push vacuum

The Billy Goat LB352 wheeled push vacuum is Billy Goats smallest entry model. Weighing just 26 kg and 51 cm (20 inches) wide, it makes the wheeled push vacuum, lightweight and easy to manoeuvre. The wide 20-inch nozzle at the front of the machine makes the Billy Goat very compact for small gardens. It’s ideal for clearing leaves down those narrow pathways which larger machines cannot manage.

The wheeled push vacuum is ideal for leaves, grass and other garden debris on lawns, driveways and paths etc. It takes the hard work out of clearing leaves and keeping the garden free from garden debris.

There is an optional hose kit available for the Billy Goat LB352, this is a very useful attachment and something that I would recommend. The optional hose accessory can be purchased here.

Adjustable Wheels

The Billy Goat LB352 wheeled push vacuum has adjustable front wheels that can be adjusted to suit various situations. The two front wheels are adjusted individually by two individual levers.

Impeller

The large 105 L zipper bag helps to keep the Billy Goat running efficiently and offers easy emptying. There are four impellers that help to mulch and chop the garden waste. This in turn makes full use of the bag space and assists with composting.

 

 

Engine

Powered by the popular Briggs & Stratton 500E 140 cc four-stroke engine which develops 3.5 hp. Briggs & Stratton engines have literally been used on thousands of machines across the world. Over the years, I have owned many machines that have been powered by Briggs & Stratton. After using Briggs & Stratton engines for over 40 years I have had minimal issues.

One of the great things is with Briggs & Stratton engines is that the parts are widely available and sensibly priced. There are Briggs & Stratton dealers all over the world.

As with all engines, it’s important to keep the engine maintained. Take care to change the oil regularly and to keep the air filter clean. Keeping the air filter clean will give you peak performance, economy and longer engine life. Failure to keep the air cleaner, clean can result in premature engine life.

The engine has a straightforward traditional recoil start for easy starting.

 

 

To Conclude

There are many different brands of wheeled garden vacuums available today. However, if I was looking for a garden vacuum, I would definitely look at the Billy Goat range. The Billy Goat LB352 wheeled push vacuum is an entry-level model. If I was purchasing, I would definitely prefer a self-propelled model, for operator ease and comfort. However, I do appreciate that everyone has a budget to work to. As I mentioned earlier, I would also recommend the optional hose kit accessory for the Billy Goat LB352, to get the most out of your wheeled vacuum.

We will be looking at larger models over the coming days. You can find more wheeled garden vacuums here.
