Walk-Behind Leaf Blowers
Little Wonder Optimax Blowers are capable of moving air and debris—fast! These powerful leaf blowers use an advanced impeller and aerodynamic blower housing design to produce airflow levels that are the highest in the industry. The impeller and housing components are made entirely of steel, and continuously welded for extra strength. An air deflector splits the airstream vertically to blow a higher column of air. This prevents leaves from blowing back above the airstream and allows the blower to move larger piles of leaves efficiently. Other outstanding advantages of the Optimax are the ergonomic low-vibration handle and a blower discharge control that can be adjusted on-the-fly by the operator.
The C5 blower is a powerful blower in a more compact form. It features a 16-inch diameter composite impeller, a professional-grade Kohler engine, fold-down operator handle, and patent-pending Aim Rite adjustable blower nozzle. Capable of producing Category 5 hurricane air speeds, the C5 boasts up to 4 times the clearing power of backpack blowers. Just like the Optimax, these blowers can be used to clear leaves, trash, standing water, light snow, pine needles, or anything else that needs to be cleaned up.
Leaf Vacs
When debris needs to be vacuumed, the Little Wonder Pro Vac walk-behind blowers are raring to go. The Pro Vac SI Outdoor Vacuum features a serrated impeller blade that tears leaves into shreds, reducing the volume of debris to one-fifth the original volume. This leaf vacuum has a 40-gallon collection bag, and can optionally be outfitted with a hose kit to help with cleaning up hard-to-reach areas. The larger Pro Vac leads the competition with a huge 74.47 gallon bagging capacity. The Pro Vac has powerful suction, a suction head that adjusts automatically to the terrain, and an air shield that directs dust toward the ground. The Pro Vac SP is self-propelled, with a Hydro-Gear hydrostatic transmission.
Truck Loaders and Trailers
Truck loaders, also known as debris loaders, are the big blower machines that can suck up huge piles of leaves and blow them into a truck or trailer. The Little Wonder “Monster” truckloaders have innovative toothed impellers that shred leaves as they pass through. The shredding results in a debris reduction ratio of as much as 15 to 1. Fifteen bushels reduced to one! The Monsters come in a range of power/volume sizes, and configurations. Choose between a skid-mounted truckloader that can be bolted onto whatever equipment you currently own, or a trailer mounted truckloader that can be towed by a pickup. Self-contained trailer-style truckloaders are also available that come mounted to their own collection bins.
Hedge Trimmers
The Little Wonder hedge trimmers come in 2 power options: gas or electric. Both feature cutter bars made from thru-hardened high carbon tool steel. These blades will maintain a sharp cutting edge for 6 to 10 times longer than regular steel blades. The electric model can maintain a clean cut through thick hedge growth, and slice off branches up to half an inch in diameter. The gas model has a commercial grade 21cc engine that’s easy to start, operates in any position, and provides power to slice through branches up to an inch thick.
Bed Shaper
For landscaping jobs that require digging or redefining bed edges, nothing does the work faster than the Little Wonder BedShaper. This Honda-powered, hydrostatic drive machine uses a notched blade design to cut easily through soil and turf. The BedShaper utilizes an easy-to-adjust gauge wheel to hold the cutting depth where you need it, from half an inch to 4.5 inches. Maneuvering the unit is easy, with a differential feature that allows for zero-turn steering. Also, because the blade is mounted in line with the drive tires, the BedShaper can expertly follow the contour of curved flower beds.
Pro Edger and Crack Cleaner
The Little Wonder Pro Edger excels at edging a crisp line along the driveways and sidewalks. This hedge clipper can cut edges up to 4 inches deep with its 10 inch cutting blade. A four-wheel design gives superior stability and convenient, anti-vibration controls put the operator in charge of cutting depth and drive speed. Utilizing a dual belt drive to deliver more power to the edger blade, the Pro Edger can accomplish up to 90 feet of edging per minute. Now that is an efficient edger! An optional wire brush accessory kit allows the Edger to be converted to an asphalt crack cleaner. The Pro Crack Cleaner is essentially the same machine as the Pro Edger, but comes with a heavy-duty 9-inch twisted wire brush for cleaning cracks in concrete and asphalt.
Brush Cutter
Another outstanding Little Wonder beast is the Brush Cutter. Featuring hydrostatic infinitely variable speed control, solid steel construction, a 1-inch diameter mower blade spindle, and tempered spring steel blades, the Brushcutter can open forest paths, clear brush, and shred saplings up to 2 inches thick. The power comes from a powerful commercial-grade Honda GXV390 engine. For extra safety while mowing down the brush, the operator handles are protected by wraparound hand guards, and the controls use steel rod linkage rather than cables. This prevents the controls from becoming snagged and pulled out of position by the brush.
