These are really cool machines. My friend found an old cast iron billy goat from the 70s or 80s left in a warehouse. I emptied the old gas, cleaned the carb, and it fired right up and cleared all the debris in the yard. The suction power is amazing. The one we got has the old 5hp B&S.

I don't see the point in this. You can hit a bunch of balls with a regular shag tube. When I first saw this thing I thought it was a device to put your ball on a tee for you. If it teed the ball up for you then that would be great because it would save a lot of wear and tear on my back. But if all it does is place the ball on the ground I can do that with anything.

I also have a Billy Goat. I have the human propelled (human push) version. I've had it for many seasons now. I don't wait until the 'end of the season' to use it, as I am not a contractor. I find it so easy to use, and it produces a stellar, sanitary, well groomed result. I use it every couple of days during the season. Its quick and fairly EASY. It produces ground up leaves, excellent for mulching. Contractors must be comparing this to a heavy duty debris loader. For them, blowers and a debris loader makes much more sense. To maintain your own yard, with a beautiful result, this is a great tool.

Don't buy a Billy Goat, they are piece of shit! The reason he only did two passes is because he would have been full of dust and debris when they bag gets too heavy and starts blowing leaf chips out the side! I called the manufacturer and they sent me to the local repair shop to get it looked at, they said there is nothing wrong with it they just blow a bunch of crap all over the user. The speed control is a joke also, it goes from slow to slower to stop, they shouldn't be lowed to sell such a piece of crap! Buyer beware! I have been trying to get this mess straightened out for over a year and I keep getting more pissed every time I have to use it because they say it works the way it's supposed to.

These are garbage. If your hitting a ball correctly and taking a divot at some point your gonna have to move the thing or use your club and place the ball in another spot. Same thing as in after a few shots with a bucket tipped over you'll move the ball where you like and not in the divot. Such a gimmick. Lol save the 30 bucks and get some new balls for your round
