Kioti UK At SALTEX 2017: Kioti UK continue to make large inroads into the UK groundcare market with increases in sales of their range of Compact Tractors and Utility Vehicles.

Saltex 2017 will see the launch of two further important products which will significantly  strengthen the range and offer their dealer base an enhanced  range of product to sell in 2018.

Kioti UK At SALTEX 2017

First up is the CS2610 tractor fitted with mid-mounted deck which has been a best seller for the company for a number of years. Saltex will see the launch in the UK of the ‘Grasshopper Collector’ unit allowing the machine to be able to collect grass as well as just cut and drop. The unit is available in standard and high tip versions with a capacity of 600  litres of grass. The system gives true versatility as it enables the collecting unit to be detached so that the unit can resume normal tractor duties. A front loader is offered as an option making this into a truly versatile machine for anyone looking for a multi purpose operation.

The Kioti Mechron 3000E will be seen for the first time at the show. This tough utility vehicle is their first electrically operated machine and takes clean power to the next level with the use of Lithium-ion battery technology, the first machine to use this technology. Quiet, smooth operation, environmentally friendly and longer operating periods from a single charge plus the added benefit of much longer lasting battery life will seriously reduce the operating costs of this type of vehicle according to General Manager Patrick Desmond.

You are welcome to visit our Stand A190 at the Saltex Exhibition where you will be able to review these machines, see a cross section of the range and gain further information from the Kioti Team.

Alternatively, for further information, please contact Patrick Desmond on 01480-401512 ext 6.

New Holland to showcase mini crawler excavators at this year’s Saltex event: New Holland will showcase its E18C ROPS mini excavator, from the company’s agricultural construction range, at this year’s Saltex event on 1st and 2nd November. 

The New Holland agricultural construction range includes mini crawler excavators, backhoe loaders, wheel loaders and skid steer loaders. These multi-purpose machines are ideal for busy landscaping and amenity contractors, and are available with a variety of purpose-made attachments. New Holland dealers can also supply further accessories for specialist operations.

New Holland At SALTEX 2017

The mini crawler excavator range features seven models with engine power ranging from 16.8 to 64.7hp and lift capacity between 1.7 to 6 tonnes, Compact dimensions are matched with high performance to maintain power and versatility when working in difficult-to-access areas.

Constant hydraulic flow means New Holland’s mini crawler excavators can power a variety of demanding attachments including soil augers, flail mowers for hedges and verges, as well as cutterbars and saws. The boom and dipper offers power arm versatility with the ability to work hydraulic shears, breakers and stump grinders.

The hydraulic quick coupler allows hands-free attaching and release of buckets, and safer switching between large, heavy attachments. Mechanical quick lock attachment brackets are also available.

The optional Object Handling Kit enables all models of mini crawler excavators to raise heavy suspended loads using a lifting hook on the bucket linkage, reducing the need to bring in additional equipment and complying with health and safety guidelines.

Powerful traction matched to a low centre of gravity provides excellent stability across difficult terrain.  The dozer blade, with its unique concave design allows earth to fall forward as it is pushed and features excellent geometry for levelling and grading. When excavating, the blade can be lowered for stability.

Designed around the operator, the cab’s slim frame pillars ensure excellent all-round visibility, with a good view of the boom and dipper. The E18C is available with a choice of canopy or cab, and all variants within the mini crawler excavator range are ROPS roll-over, TOPS tip-over and FOPS falling-object compliant to ISO standards. All models operate at low noise and vibration levels, allowing for extended work periods with no compromise to operator safety.

Visitors to Saltex can find out more about the agricultural construction range of machines, including the full mini crawler range, on New Holland’s stand (K189). The range is available through selected New Holland dealers across the UK and Ireland.

STIHL at SALTEX 2017

/in , /by

STIHL at SALTEX 2017: STIHL will be attending SALTEX this year with some impressive new tools to talk about, including the expanded Pro Cordless range. 

The introduction of a new AR 1000 Lithium-Ion backpack battery will be welcome news to those who need to use STIHL’s cordless products for an extended period of time – the new battery weighs in at only 5.5kg and has a slim ergonomic design making it more comfortable over longer periods of use.

STIHL at SALTEX 2017

The AR 1000 also comes with a detachable rain cover, a harness with a waist and chest strap and a USB port to allow users to charge devices such as mobile phones. These features all come as standard with the Recommended Retail Price of £630 including VAT.

When used in conjunction with the AL 500 charger, the AR 1000 backpack battery can be charged in as little as two hours to minimise downtime. The AR 1000 combines perfectly with the other new tools in STIHL’s Lithium-Ion PRO Cordless product range to offer contractors the durability and longevity needed to handle the toughest jobs.

STIHL will also be featuring some of these new cordless tools at SALTEX, including the FSA 130 and 130 R brush cutters, which are the cutting edge of cordless trimmer technology. These powerful but lightweight brushcutters are specifically designed for working on large areas of thick grass at length. The FSA 130 is a master at clearing large patches of grass and scrub quickly and efficiently thanks to the bike handle, whilst the FSA 130 R features a loop handle which makes it perfect for use in tight spaces.

Like the new PRO Cordless hedge trimmers, the HSA 94 R and 94 T, the FSA 130 range has been designed from the ground up to be as effective as our professional petrol tools. They are capable of tackling much longer or thicker grass at full power than their PRO Cordless predecessors and can run for up to 380 minutes using the new AR 1000 battery. They also feature the latest version of STIHL’s power select system to quickly adjust the blade speed with the flick of a trigger, so you don’t waste battery power when you don’t need to.

The latest PRO Cordless blower, the BGA 100, will also be on display. Perfect for use in noise sensitive areas, the hand held blower is extremely light and quiet, and comes with three power stages plus a boost mode, for tackling the most difficult tasks.

All of these tools and more will be on display on the STIHL Stand at SALTEX with STIHL experts on hand to answer questions about the new technology. Find out more information at www.stihl.co.uk.
