Commercial · Landscaping
Backyards, early starts and noise rules, with no fuel cans in the truck.
Short answer
For landscapers, the STAG Beetle 100 fits through a 36 in. gate on narrow tracks, spreads its weight on turf with wide tracks, and runs quietly enough for early starts in neighborhoods. STAG estimates it costs $1.37 an hour to run against $8.67 for a comparable diesel mini loader.
Jobs it fits
Grade and haul soil, move stone and mulch, drill holes for fence posts and plantings, and clean up after the job.
Noise and neighbors
STAG lists it under 70 to 75 dBA. Many towns limit equipment noise and hours, and a quiet machine gives crews more room to work.
Operating cost
At 1,000 hours a year, STAG’s figures put savings near $7,300. Run your own inputs in the calculator.
