Dennis to Exhibit E-Series at GroundsFest: Dennis is set to make a significant impact at GroundsFest 2024, showcasing an impressive range of battery-powered products on stand 50 in Hall 2 at Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire, on September 10 and 11.

Since its launch, the Dennis E-Series has stood out from the competition, offering reliable and long-lasting battery-powered mowers that are no-compromise alternatives to traditional petrol machines. These mowers boast ultra-low noise, low vibration, user-friendly operation, and a significantly reduced CO2 footprint, helping users move towards their carbon-neutral goals.

Featured Products at GroundsFest 2024:

Multi Charger Hub

The newly launched Multi Charger Hub is an efficient and easy-to-manoeuvre mobile unit capable of recharging up to eight large E-Series machines sequentially. Designed with convenience in mind, it includes individual cable connections to avoid multiple unused wires, top box storage for charger cables, and under-cabinet storage for spares. The Hub features an intelligent system that cycles through each connected mower, displaying the state of charge (SOC) on a screen, and shuts down each mower at 100% to prevent overcharging. With the ability to charge all connected mowers overnight from 10%-15% to 100%, the Multi Charger Hub is a game-changer.

ES-34R Rotary Mower

The ES-34R is designed for precision and efficiency. It features twin contra-rotating blades with a height-of-cut controlled by an easy-to-use ‘click’ system. The suction and blade speed can be adjusted to meet the most challenging collection conditions. Optional front wheels and a choice between a smooth or weile roller enhance its adaptability. With excellent sight lines and robust performance, the ES-34R ensures superior turf maintenance.

ES-22U Ultra Mower

For those familiar with the Dennis Razor Ultra, the ES-22U is a standout choice for fine turf care. This 560mm (22”) battery mower features an ultra-short wheelbase, making it ideal for undulating surfaces. Equipped with a 7 or 11-bladed cutting cylinder and groomer reel, the ES-22U delivers an ultra-fine finish on bowling greens, golf greens, tees, and cricket pitches. Its precision and adaptability make it a favourite among professionals seeking top-tier turf maintenance.

The E-Series mowers are equipped with a robust LCD keypad screen, providing operators with essential information, including speed, clip rate, service checks, lifetime running reports, and battery status. With an ultra-fast full battery recharge time of just 2-3 hours, the E-Series mowers ensure that downtime is minimised, keeping grounds staff productive and efficient.

GroundsFest 2024 attendees are invited to visit Dennis on stand 50 in Hall 2 to explore these innovative products and learn more about how Dennis is driving the future of sustainable turf maintenance. Don’t miss the opportunity to see firsthand how the E-Series and the new Multi Charger Hub can make a difference to your operations.

Top TIMBERSPORTS® athletes compete for top spot

/in , , /by

Top TIMBERSPORTS® athletes compete for top spot: TIMBERSPORTS® is back with a bang at the Royal Three Counties Show, Malvern from 14-16 June 2024. Three days of action-packed competition will see Britain’s top athletes compete against each other for the British crown, as well as the opportunity to represent their country at world level. 

Competition for places in the British Pro Championship taking place on Saturday 15 June is so high that the first ever qualifier will take place the Friday before. The top six athletes from 2023’s Championship have earned automatic qualification, whilst the remaining athletes from last year’s competition will go head-to-head with newcomers to decide who will take the final spots in the main event. The action doesn’t stop there with 12 rookies (athletes under 25) competing in the British Rookie Championship and 11 women vying for victory in the British Women’s Championship on Sunday 16 June.

Fresh from finishing sixth at the World Rookie Championship in Milan, Jack Morris will be the one to beat in the Rookie Championship. Inspired by his older brother, Morris first competed in TIMBERSPORTS® in 2019 and his laser focus on fitness and training has seen him rise to the top of the British rookie ranks, where he finished first in 2022 and 2023. This will be Morris’s last year competing as a rookie as he moves up to the Pro level in 2025, and he’s aiming to finish on a high, but there will be plenty of other rookies with their eye on the podium so complacency is not an option.

In the British Women’s Championship, it’s all to play for this year, with previous champions Justine Narusa (2023 winner) and Zoe Penlington (2022 winner) returning as well as some exciting new talent looking to shake things up.  Libby Arrowsmith, the youngest competitor at just 17, has been focussed on a dedicated training regime and will be looking to better her third-place finish in 2023, whilst newcomer Rachel Ferrington, who has competed in many sports including jousting, is also looking to make her mark.

The Pro Championship will be another hard-fought battle, but Glen Penlington will be hoping to hold off his rivals to make it a hat-trick of national titles, after he won in 2022 and 2023. But 2014 champion Rob Chatley is also eyeing the top prize. Both athletes are GB TIMBERSPORTS® trainers and share their expertise with the less-experienced athletes at regular training camps throughout the year, but once the competition starts it’s every man for himself, and they will both be looking to get maximum points in all six of the competition disciplines. Between them, they hold three of the six national records, so the competition will definitely be fierce, and is sure to deliver edge-of-your-seat action.

The British Championship takes place from 14- 16 June at the Royal Three Counties Show in Malvern. Tickets are available from the show website. The Pro, Women’s and Rookie Championships will also be livestreamed via the STIHL TIMBERSPORTS® YouTube channel.

Scots Turf Organisers ‘Blown Away’ by Show Success

/in , , /by

Scots Turf Organisers ‘Blown Away’ by Show Success: With over 700 visitors and over 60 companies exhibiting, the second edition of Scots Turf demonstrated substantial growth and has built a platform for an exciting future.

The aim of this show was to build on the success of the previous year by offering more stands and educational opportunities for visitors to explore at Hamilton Park Racecourse. An increase in the number of exhibitors from 16 to 64 ensured a diverse range of products from leading industry names such as Campey Turf Care, AllGrass, Dennis, SIS Pitches, and John Deere.

The growing stand count, set to increase again for the third event, has proven the Scotland’s desire for a dedicated show, and Scots Turf Founding Committee member Richard Heywood is ready to continue the growth.

“It was fantastic to see such a broad selection of visitors from all aspects of our industry, and the feedback we received from everyone we asked was incredibly positive,” he said.

“We were blown away and delighted with the response we received from companies wanting to exhibit. Our target in year two was to attract 30 businesses. In reality, we ended up attracting over 60, with a waiting list of ten more, and I think that shows the positive impact we’re having in Scotland.

“I’d say this is our first proper year as a ‘trade show,’ and we were very much encouraged by seeing over 700 visitors coming through the gates, with around 500 arriving in the first hour.

“It really shows an appetite for something like this in Scotland, and we will be looking to grow year upon year, helping to establish this once again as an event that you need to put in your diary.”

Updates on Scots Turf 2025 will follow throughout the year, including initiatives to support Scottish charitable causes. While demand for stands is high, companies are invited to apply for next year.
