Polaris Introduces Heavy Duty Parts: Everybody and every ride is different, and for those who ride in extreme conditions; conditions that are even tougher and more demanding on the vehicle, Polaris introduces its Heavy Duty Parts Program: a collection of parts that have been engineered to deliver the best driving experience possible, no matter how extreme it may be.

The Heavy Duty (HD) parts expand the boundaries of Polaris riders by helping to tackle heavy payloads, extreme cold, extreme heat and much more. The HD Parts program offers HD Brake Pads, HD Drive Belts, HD Oil Filters and HD Bearings that feature triple sealing to keep out water dust and mud making them last much longer in the extreme, as well as HD Bushings that are made of a stronger material compound to enhance the wear characteristics.

Dario Baraggia, PG&A Manager at Polaris Off-Road Vehicles EMEA said “Our Heavy Duty Parts have been developed and tested to ensure riders get the most out of their rides, taking the passion of the riders, workers and outdoor enthusiasts to the next level.”

HEAVY-DUTY BRAKE PADS

Polaris Parts introduces four new, tough handling, brake pad options. Available in sets of two pads and designed to provide a premium braking performance, riders can trust the brake pads will tackle severe mud riding, operate under extreme payload and aggressive towing. The Heavy Duty options also have an increased pad density that lasts three times longer in harsh muddy and wet conditions and a high friction capacity resulting in less effort and shorter stopping distances. The HD Brake Pads offer quiet breaking through a noise insulator which also helps to prevent squealing in all extreme conditions.

HEAVY-DUTY DRIVE BELTS

Purposely built for Heavy-Duty customers, the new Heavy-Duty Drive Belts will fit over two million Polaris Off-Road Vehicles including the Sportsman 500s, RGR 1000s, RZR XP 1000s and more. Developed in collaboration with Powertrain and clutch engineers to ensure 100% customer confidence in maximising the performance and ultimate durability of the ride. The HD Drive Belt is made from an enhanced rubber material compound that will keep the belt cool in extreme conditions and a patent cord treatment process that maximises the transfer of horsepower to the ground to help hauling heavy loads; extreme riders are now unstoppable.

HEAVY-DUTY OIL FILTER

Engineered to keep oil clean with a robust housing and steel tube centre, the Heavy-Duty Oil Filter has been designed to resist vibration and high temperatures under extreme riding conditions. With advanced synthetic material the HD Oil Filter is built to give the highest debris holding capacity, maintain oil flow and maximise performance. The Heavy-Duty oil filters will not deform under duress from the harsh and extreme conditions. The three new Heavy-Duty Oil Filters will fit over two million Polaris Off-Road Vehicles.

SISGrass switches to Dennis E-Series: Committed to reducing their carbon footprint, SISGrass has continued to rely on Dennis Mowers by replacing their fleet of petrol cylinder mowers to the all-new battery-powered E-Series.

SISGrass offers market leading hybrid playing surfaces throughout the world. Installed at every major football tournament in the last few years, the technology is trusted by some of the biggest names in sport.

SISGrass switches to Dennis E-Series

Aside from their own innovative technology, SISGrass insists on working with only the most reliable and top performing turf maintenance equipment when building a pitch from start to finish. It is for this reason that SISGrass has relied on Dennis Mowers for several years.

“We originally partnered with Dennis back in 2015,” said Phil Blackwell, Director at SISGrass. “We started out with three Dennis G860 cylinder mowers which accompanied our own machines as we travelled around the world delivering and installing our hybrid systems.

“With the G860 we have been able to finish our installations professionally with – what I believe to be – one of the best mowers on the market.”

SISGrass soon increased their fleet of mowers to seven Dennis G860’s, and when the company decided to further embrace sustainable and green principles, there was only going to be one replacement mower according to Phil.

“Over the past few years as SISGrass has developed and progressed, we have strived to reduce the reliability on hydraulics and engines – and the move to electric power is now the next step,” he said.

“We were aware of the new Dennis E-Series and had many discussions with Toby Clarke whilst they were in development. Last year we were fortunate to have one on trial for a few days and had great success. The mowers are fantastic to use, and the finish and quality of the machine is second to none.

“We quickly decided to replace all seven Dennis G860’s with their battery-powered alternatives – the ES-860’s.”

Users of the Dennis G860 cylinder mower will no doubt see familiarities in the new ES-860.

This 34” battery powered turf management system delivers maximum versatility and the range of 13 interchangeable cassette options provide a solution to many day-to-day maintenance tasks such as cutting, scarifying, brushing, slitting and verticutting. Furthermore, traditional G860 cassettes will also fit the ES-860, meaning that customers will not have to purchase additional cassettes.

Every mower in the E-Series range features a robust LCD keypad screen which provides the operator with a multitude of information options including speed, clip rate, service checks, lifetime running reports and battery information. With a powerful 48V battery, it takes just 90 minutes for a full battery recharge and turf professionals will not have to worry about range anxiety as a fully charged ES-860 will comfortably last the distance without having to constantly change batteries.

“We are delighted to be working alongside SISGrass who are growing year on year – long may that continue,” said Toby Clarke.
