Billy Goat’s Pumpkin Chunkin’ event at this year’s GIE+EXPO resulted in more than 300 pumpkins chucked through its 35-hp truck loader. Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney won by a landslide.
Participants were allowed to select from one of two 4’ x 2’ caricatures, Barrack Obama or Mitt Romney, to chuck a pumpkin at. The overwhelming majority chose to chuck at Obama, giving Romney the win. Unfortunately for Romney, GIE+EXPO carries zero votes in the electoral college.
Billy Goat demoed the power of the brand new debris loader with its main event in the outdoor demo area, where attendees were invited to chuck pumpkins up to 14 inches in diameter into the debris loader. The 35-hp, electric-start debris loader maximizes loading and debris reduction with Billy Goat’s exclusive dual-shredding system with Piranha blade and produces 5,050 CFM of suction power for the ultimate in productivity. A 20-inch impeller with 18 cutting points provides debris reduction up to 12:1. The unit features a large 14”x10’ clear poly helical hose, ideal for taking huge bites out of any debris pile, including pumpkins.
