From the diesel range, the well-established ZD-1211 provides comfort and fast working with excellent fuel efficiency, meeting all the needs of the commercial operator.

Last but not least, the Kubota ZE-481 delivers the performance and precision required of a professional zero-turn mower, in a sustainable, battery-powered package. With zero emissions at the point of use and significantly reduced noise output, the ZE-481 allows grounds teams to work in noise-sensitive environments such as schools, hospitals and public parks without disruption.

Also taking centre stage in the SALTEX Community Sports Zone will be the Kubota EK1-261 HST. Easy to operate and built with capability in mind, the EK1-261 HST is perfectly suited to grassroots sports facilities – offering Kubota reliability and back-up support in an entry-level set-up that promises unbeatable return on investment.

Complementing these will be a selection of Kubota compact tractors and utility vehicles from the RTV range. Kubota will also be joined on stand by representatives from Terrako – Kubota’s new online ordering software for genuine parts – and Baroness, making E060 a ‘one stop shop’ for high performance power and implements suited to all applications and every grounds maintenance professional.

The next generation machine will be available in 1.2m, 1.5m and 1.8m working widths and will offer improved cleaning and maintenance performance on all types of synthetic surface.

Developed with grassroots facilities in mind and showcasing the very best in GKB engineering, visitors can also expect to see the GKB Combitool. Providing the perfect partnership of versatility and efficiency, the Combitool features four attachment slots which can be quickly and easily tailored to the needs of any facility. Suitable for natural and hybrid surfaces, operators can rake, roll, slit and brush in a single pass making it ideal for community clubs and smaller venues looking for professional results at an accessible price.

Designed specifically for use with smaller tractors, the latest Imants RECYCLINGDRESSER® 1.3 brings the proven benefits of recycling dressing to facilities that previously lacked the horsepower for larger models. By re-using and redistributing existing soil across the playing surface, the machine offers a cost-effective, sustainable approach to turf care that reduces both labour and material inputs.

Key updates include a new rear flap for faster material breakdown and drying, plus smart folding legs that double as protective side bars for easier transport and storage. The process aerates soil vertically and horizontally, eliminates compaction, boosts biological activity, and extends fertiliser effectiveness.

Visitors to the Campey stand C050 will have the chance to see the new Imants RECYCLINGDRESSER® 1.3 up close. With decades of combined knowledge across renovation, aeration, and sustainable practices, the Campey team will be on hand to offer tailored advice and guidance.

Other products worthy of a mention include the Foley Air2G2 pedestrian aerator which laterally injects air blasts to loosen up compacted soil immediately but without any disruption to the surface of the turf or the roots below. With frequent use, the Air2G2 336 creates surfaces that are healthy, firm, and ready for play immediately after treatment.

Next is the compact yet efficient Campey™ Seed Shot™.  Perfect for targeted seeding post-game, depositing a precise quantity of seed into the soil for optimal germination rates, and the equally useful Vredo Turf Buddy specially designed for overseeding areas where it is not possible to work with large machines and perfect for small repairs on sports fields and golf courses. The Vredo Turf Buddy uses the tried and tested double disc system which consistently delivers over 96% germination rates.

We will also be at the GMA Community Sports Zone, highlighting equipment including the New Holland Boomer 35 Tractor, Imants Mini RotoKnife, and Martin Lishman Nano Sprayer for Grassroots use.
