The first truly portable frost fan developed by New Zealand experts.
Tow and Blow machines have the ability for you to select the tower to either rotate 360˚ or preset the tower rotation degrees to rotate through any angle of your choice. With the speed of rotation also adjustable, this ensures that you target the protection to only the desired area, whatever shape your site may be. Tow and Blow requires no concrete foundations, no building permit or consent, is incredibly quiet, and the low fuel consumption ensures low emissions.
Easily transported from site to site behind a vehicle or tractor, the Tow and Blow is outstanding in terms of maneuverability, flexibility, and affordability.
