Scag Tow-Behind Briggs & Stratton 33HP

Description

Scag TL20W Tow-Behind Debris Loader with 33 HP Vanguard

A tow-behind debris loader on its own chassis with a 33 horsepower Vanguard engine, pulled behind a truck or trailer rather than mounted in one.

The Flexibility a Tow-Behind Buys

A trailered loader can be dropped at a site and left while the truck runs debris away, moved between vehicles as a fleet changes, and sold on separately from any particular truck. For a contractor whose vehicles are leased or replaced on a cycle, keeping the loader independent of them avoids reinstalling equipment every time the fleet turns over.

Manoeuvring Is the Trade

Towing a loader behind a loaded truck on residential streets is the part crews underestimate. Reversing an articulated combination into a driveway, and finding somewhere to leave it while working, costs time on every stop. On a route of many small properties the skid-mounted alternative usually wins; on fewer larger sites the tow-behind does.

Check the Hitch and Lights Before Each Season

A towed machine spends ten months parked and then goes straight onto public roads. Coupling, safety chain, tyre condition and lighting all deserve a proper look before the first journey rather than a glance, because a loader is exactly the kind of trailer that gets stopped and checked.

Tyres Perish Standing

Sidewalls crack from age and UV rather than mileage, and a trailer tyre that looks fine can be a decade old.

The Tow-Behind Options

The TL20W-26CH-EFI carries a fuel-injected Kohler at a higher price. The skid-mounted TLS20W-33BV uses this same engine, and the TLB25 industrial range is the next tier up.
