Etesia launch new Bahia model at SALTEX 2017: Taking centre stage on the Etesia UK stand at SALTEX 2017 was the new Bahia Hydro 80 MKHP4 E-Connect ride-on mower, which also won the SALTEX 2017 innovation award.

Visitors to the show were able to get a first glimpse at the new model ahead of its official 2018 release.

Thanks to a series of clever technological innovations, the new E-Connect Hydro 80 is even easier to use and a pleasure to work with.

Featuring a membrane keypad and a new LCD display, the control panel on this machine is intended to be as simple as possible to work with while giving you all the information you need at your fingertips. Another innovation is the RFID antenna, with the key ignition replaced by the use of RFID cards for simple, touch-sensitive starting. This also means you can set up various user profiles to give particular people the right to use the machine, while it helps guard against theft, too.

Benefiting from a full shut down system, the battery can be protected and saved during extended machine stops. This also allows you to work on it in safety, and transport the machine without worry. An app is available to allow you to recognise and display nearby machines with Bluetooth, while additional information about the machine, instruction manuals and available accessories, straightforward ordering of parts and accessories, as well as easy monitoring of maintenance periods and costs are all close at hand.

The Hydro 80 is a versatile machine that can collect in all conditions, also benefiting from a mulching insert included as standard. The 80cm cutting width, 240 litre collecting box and impressive Kawasaki FS481H 11.7 kW engine give it the cutting performance and raw power to impress while operating. Thanks to a range of additional accessories, users are able to extend the versatility of your machine so that you are ready for any scenario when working.

Commenting on the launch of the Bahia MKHP4 E-Connect, Etesia UK operations director said: “This machine will appeal to fleet managers, who wish to keep accurate records on what the machine has been doing in terms of maintenance, costings, performance, and output. It can also be fitted with a range of attachments for a wide range of applications.”

More Versatility To TYM Tractor Range

/in , /by

New T393 Brings Even More Versatility To TYM Compact Utility Tractor Range: The latest addition to the TYM compact tractor range is the T393. It has been brought to the UK by Reesink Turfcare because of its perfect positioning to bridge the gap in the TYM line up, from the compact utility range into the mid-duty range.

A 39hp Yanmar engine, two transmission options: 12×12 speed manual with dash mounted shuttle lever or a three range HST transmission, and the highest lift capabilities in its class at 1200kg, means the T393 can take on the small and big jobs with ease.

More Versatility To TYM Tractor Range

TYM sales manager, Steven Haynes, says: “The T393 is a great addition to the TYM product line up offering premium features in a compact and cost-effective package. For any work you do, a workhorse always helps. With that in mind, we’ve chosen our newest addition to the compact line to provide the utmost productivity down to the last detail.”

As Steven says, productivity is at the fore of the T393’s design. It’s available with either a rear mounted ROPS or a factory fitted cabin with air conditioning to deliver all-year round operating comfort, plus, the cabin features a high capacity heater and front and rear work lamps. So, dark winter afternoons or inclement weather won’t stop work with the T393.

The T393 has one of the highest hydraulic flow rates with a maximum output of 42 litres per minute, making it suitable for use with a wide range of hydraulically driven attachments. And all the HST models come equipped with a new ‘Auto Throttle’ function, linking the HST pedals to the engine throttle to synchronise the tractor’s speed and engine rpm. This simplifies tractor operation and helps to reduce fuel consumption.

The cab features wide opening doors which allows for easy access on and off the tractor and, unlike larger models, there is no intrusive B-post on the tractor to hinder visibility.

Steven concludes: “The T393 new tractor brings the utmost versatility to our TYM offering in the UK. It’s more productive per acre and is the ideal choice for those who don’t need a larger framed mid-duty model but need the most amount of power, productivity, versatility and efficiency in a compact package.”

The T393 completes the TYM compact utility tractor range joining the TS25, T293 and T353, and further complements the mid- and  heavy-duty TYM ranges. It is available with optional extras such as a front loader, backhoe, front-weight kit and rear counter balance.

Multifunctional Vehicles For Local Authorities And Service Providers 

/in , /by

Multifunctional vehicles for local authorities and service providers: Internationally successful manufacturer HOLDER presents its vehicle programme of ground care and winter maintenance products for the first time at SALTEX in Birmingham.

German company Max Holder GmbH looks back on nearly 130-years of “German engineering”. Even today the wide range of municipal vehicles with their high quality, innovative ideas, and maximum economy are quite impressive.

Multifunctional Vehicles For Local Authorities And Service Providers 

The range of products starts with the small X-series (40 HP), moving up to the middle range C-series (50/65 HP) and then on to the large S-series (100/115/130 HP). These articulated vehicles, along with their perfectly matched attachments, offer a versatile and all-year-round usage. In only a few steps, it is possible to switch to winter maintenance, sweeping, mowing or several special applications. The vehicles are used in municipalities, at airports, for car parks, in industrial companies, and for facility management. They are characterized by their agility, their driving and operating comfort, as well as their reliability and durability.

The Holder products are already available in numerous countries throughout Europe, Asia and America. The market presence especially in the UK and Ireland shall now be further developed. While the importer in Ireland, RD Mechanical, has been successfully active during the last years, UK is still a new Market for Holder. Andreas Vorig, CEO of Max Holder, states: “This year we started with our new distribution company Holder Equipment UK. We are very happy that for the director’s position we could win Brian Croll, who has enormous knowledge and experience of the municipal market in the UK. One of the first actions will be to develop a sales and service network that fits our customers’ needs.”

At this year’s SALTEX, the latest model of the C-series will be presented: the new Holder C 70 meets the new European emission standard Stage 3B and has the award winning Holder PowerDrive inside, which provides 40% more traction and 50% more climbing capacity compared to a common four-wheel drive. While the presentation of the Holder X series with petrol engine and catalytic convertor is Holder’s response to the urban particulate pollution problems without a costly exhaust gas after-treatment. The Holder range of products including attachments will be presented at the SALTEX in Birmingham from 1 – 2 November 2017 at stand number H031.

Power Through Autumn With The ECHO PB-580

/in , /by

Power through Autumn with the ECHO PB-580: The autumn clean-up, as every groundsman and landscape professional knows, calls for a powerful blower to deal swiftly and efficiently with leaves and litter.

All too often you’re shifting wet or damp materials, with leaves clinging together and hard to move. Not so with the PB-580 backpack blower. The PB-580 has all you need to power your way through the autumn with a premium grade Stage 2 compliant 58.2cc engine doing the work. What’s different as well about the ECHO blower is its excellent balance, and it’s light enough to be used throughout the day without causing excessive user fatigue. It has to be ECHO’s most comfortable backpack blower, with its ventilated backpack pad to keep the operator cool even with the machine on full power. Four anti-vibration springs support the operator’s back and the shoulder straps are fully padded.

Power Through Autumn With The ECHO PB-580

ECHO engineers take a very different approach in their design – it’s all about user experience and the environments where the blower will be used. Clearly, adding comfort enhancing features will increase operator productivity for a quicker result. The blower’s handle has been designed with a new palm rest and hand stop to reduce the chances of the operator’s hands slipping down and losing control of the machine. The trigger has also been made longer for more precise throttle control.

You can tell this is a machine that has been tested in everyday, real-life environments as everything feels easy and natural to use. What’s more, the PB-580 has been designed to be easier for the operator to maintain. The air filter cover is easily accessed with no need for tools. The pleated, automotive style air filter can be quickly replaced and the in-grip adjustment has been placed near the handle for easy access to tighten the throttle cable. There’s a leaf guard to eliminate any debris being potentially blown into the fan intake clogging the filter and fan. The metal ring at the end of the straight pipe reduces the pipe’s wear and tear.

Add to this the fact that ECHO products are manufactured by the Japanese Yamabiko Corporation, who have been leaders in professional outdoor power tools for over sixty years. The PB-580 also comes with a two-year professional warranty, giving you peace of mind to put autumn in its place. You can find out more from your local authorised ECHO dealer.
