Kubota to unveil new electric machine at SALTEX: Visitors to SALTEX 2023 will be the first to see the latest in the electric offering from Kubota UK, as stand C070 provides the European launch platform for the next addition to their eco-friendly line-up.

The bigger and bolder stand promises the very best in both technology and innovation, with two out-front centre-collect mowers from their FC Series also taking centre stage. The additional floorspace means that larger products from the Kubota range will, too, be showcased – including tractors up to 110hp which find applications for users across the groundcare sector.

2022 saw the introduction of Kubota’s first electric compact tractor, the LXe-261, equipped with a large-capacity battery that can provide rapid one hour charging and three to four hours of continuous run-time. Equipped with key features for mowing, hauling, and other green space management tasks, the feedback from the extensive LXe-261 market testing is helping to shape the future of Kubota’s electric line-up – with the details of the new machine being kept closely under wraps until its appearance this November!

Kubota’s FC-Series has also seen expansion since its first show outing last year, with two models – the FC3 and FC4 – appearing at SALTEX 2023. The highly productive Kubota FC3-261 out-front centre-collect mower delivers working comfort and outstanding cutting performance, ideal for large areas. The patented HTC™ hydrostatic traction control and fuel-efficient 3-cylinder diesel engine is combined with a large 800 litre grass collector and choice of rotary or flail mower decks for optimal versatility on sports turf applications.

The stand will also feature some larger machines from Kubota’s extensive tractor portfolio, including the 110hp M5112 which can deliver high output, high productivity to contractors and those working on larger-scale groundworks and groundcare projects. Also promising to showcase the very best from their RTV range, the Kubota team will be joined on C070 by Baroness – whose range of mowers and implements complement the Kubota offering to provide a complete solution for sports turf managers.

INFINICUT® return to SALTEX

/in , /by

INFINICUT® return to SALTEX: ATT will be making a popular return to SALTEX this November, showcasing the latest advancements across their INFINICUT® and TMSystem™ ranges on stand H070.

It’s been another busy twelve months for the company, with refinements in line-ups and a vast array of new features incorporated into both the hardware and software of their industry-leading pedestrian mower collection.

INFINICUT® return to SALTEX

The company have been utilising BLDC motor technology in the INFINICUT® for the last few years, which has now been developed and enhanced to boast even greater efficiency, torque and smoothness. While the original motor could not be considered noisy, one of the most evident advantages of the new upgrade is the noticeably quieter operation. A multi-connector has also now been eliminated from the motor design, further improving reliability.

Upgrades have also been made within the InfiniApp, which continues to evolve as a result of customer feedback. Several new features have been added to the app in recent months, including a new fleet management function which has proven to be a big hit with customers managing large INFINICUT® fleets. This function enables an operator to quickly and simply save any preferred parameter setting and send it simultaneously to every mower in the fleet – resulting in huge time savings. The ability to modify acceleration and braking feel has also been well received.

Another update being rolled out by the INFINICUT® team is their state-of-the-art auto-slow down feature. From the InfiniApp, users can select a percentage of their chosen walk speed to slow the mower for end-of-line turning. Simply lift the mower in the normal way for a turn and the speed will reduce automatically. On dropping the cutting unit back down for the next pass, the mower will seamlessly speed back up without the need to use the throttle.

Among other enhancements is the ability for wireless firmware updates to take place. New versions of firmware will be downloaded in the latest updates from the App store which can then be uploaded to newer machines via Bluetooth.

The new additions to the InfiniApp will be demonstrated first-hand by the INFINICUT® technical team, who will be on hand to answer all of your questions and discuss all of the machinery upgrades on stand H070 this November.
