Billy Goat announced the launch of the new Z3002 and X3002 Hurricane Stand-On Blowers. These models are built upon the robust performance of the prior 3001 series, incorporating significant new and carried-over upgrades focused on increasing durability, enhancing operator comfort and improving ease of use.
The new Hurricane series incorporated key structural and comfort enhancements that were recently applied to the prior 3001 series, ensuring a longer service life and better field performance. These upgrades include:
- Stronger front axles, foam-filled caster tires and improved bearings to withstand the toughest commercial environments.
- A convenient side fill fuel tank with gauge for easier refueling and monitoring.
- Updated operator console and heavier throttle and choke cables for more reliable control.
The Z3002 and X3002 models introduce the most significant new advancement with an updated control module that dramatically improves the operator experience:
- Enhanced protection and durability: The new module offers improved protection and eliminates temporary control resets, ensuring consistent operation throughout the workday.
- Intuitive gate control: The operator now has a more responsive, intuitive tap-to-adjust gate control — a short tap for minor adjustments or a longer tap for full open/close—providing precise control over airflow.
- Simplified operation: The control system is no longer tied to the engine start and brake functions, streamlining the start-up sequence and boosting overall reliability.
The Z3002 and X3002 Hurricane Stand-On Blowers are available to order through the Billy Goat dealer network. These were featured and displayed at Equip Expo 2025 at the Briggs & Stratton booth. More product details and specifications will be released online at here following the show.
