Oeliatec showcase environmentally-friendly weed control at SALTEX 2017: Oeliatec return to SALTEX on stand number E055 to showcase their range of environmentally-friendly range of weed control products.

All Oeliatec weed control machines kill weeds with 100% hot water by delivering an efficient low pressure treatment at temperatures of up to 120°C.

This destroys the cellular structure of the weed to kill off the plant. The intense heat penetrates deep into the root system killing the plant from the leaf down to the root. It is effective with all broad leaf plants and grass along with moss and algae which can also be removed at the same time.

Working at a convenient 1.5 metres wide, the Trilo S3 vacuum sweeper is perfect for clearing grounds and fields. Its modest dimensions and large suction power enable quick and efficient working in small areas and even in wet conditions. It weighs in at only 1200kg meaning it can be used with compact tractors of just 28HP. The machine can also be equipped with various options including a gully brush, twisted flail shaft or verti-cutting unit making it incredibly versatile. This, combined with the design of the unit, fits the requirements of councils, contractors and Groundsmen alike.

The Trilo SU40 vacuum unit, delivering powerful suction for restricted access spaces. Mounted on a towable chassis, the power unit and 4m wander hose can be easily manoeuvred for rapid vacuuming of leaves, litter, grass, wood chippings etc.

Finishing the line-up is the Trilo B7 leaf blower.  A compact, lightweight blower with a large air capacity to ensure ample airflow for blowing leaves, litter or standing water in a desired direction. With the option of installing a reverse exhaust nozzle operated from the driver’s seat, the B7 can work conveniently to either side of the tractor or by setting the nozzle downwards, can clean both sides of a path simultaneously. Its compact design means awkward corners can also be accessed with ease. Completing the spec are sturdy anti-scalping rollers and two heavy gauge wheels which help to protect the grass plant on uneven surfaces.

Andy Ward wins Isthmian League Groundsman of the Year: Andy Ward, 24, who has been the groundsman at Wingate and Finchley FC for five years, won the Isthmian League Groundsman of the Year for his work keeping the pitches green and well-maintained for the club.

The competition is an annual one for non-league groundsmen, awarded by the Football Association (FA), for the groundsman they believe has been the leader in their art.

Andy Ward wins Isthmian League Groundsman of the Year

One of the club’s directors, Paul Lerman, said: “Ever since the merger of the two clubs in 1991, we have made the playing surface our utmost priority, and it is no secret in non-league football that we always have a wonderful playing surface all through the year.

“Having a beautiful grass surface greatly helps our teams to have an attractive style of play, which influences the type of player we can bring through the ranks and also how we can coach and improve them.

“Andy works tirelessly to look after it and keep it immaculate and we are very proud of his award.”

The awards also honour groundsmen from other non-league clubs across the country, including the Southern and National Leagues.
