Reesink’s Finance Schemes Return

/in , , /by

Reesink’s Finance Schemes Return: After the previous success of Reesink Turfcare’s four Toro finance schemes, which last year offered ten ways to pay, they’re returning once more.

The reason for this success is, says Reesink national sales manager Jeff Anguige, because they allow customers to turn one new Toro machine into a fleet for the same year’s budget: “Instead of buying one machine with your annual machinery replacement budget you put it towards a fleet. It’s the cost-effective way to get the latest and best quality machinery you need, now. Plus, you get more of what you need for less.”

Reesink's Finance Schemes Return

All four schemes, which comprises Toro Triple Finance each with three payment options and an interest-free payment with Buy Now Pay Later, have flexibility at their core, to provide a best scenario for everyone.

Toro Triple Finance is a firm favourite for Reesink Turfcare customers, offering three options, each with several payment plans to suit individual budgets and circumstances. All three options have payment spread over five years, but there are three ways to spread the payment within that timeframe. Choose from monthly or annually, with one- or five-months upfront payment; with a 15 percent payment of the final balance in the final month; or with a six month pause before payment starts with payments condensed into the remaining months or years left for the term.

Buy Now Pay Later is interest free for orders before the end November. For all machinery bought between now and then, payment is required in full on 7 May 2019.

Jeff continues: “The ever-increasing importance of the role of finance in the acquisition of turf machinery is reflected strongly in these finance schemes offering customers plenty of options on how to fill or top-up their shed with the latest Toro machinery. We believe these finance options makes purchasing Toro equipment easy and affordable for every budget.”

All deals are available now until 30 November 2018 to customers in the UK only and subject to acceptance. Those interested in taking up one of the four finance schemes should get in touch with Reesink on 01480 226800 or visit reesinkturfcare.co.uk/finance for more details.

‘Precise’ Sherriff Amenity At SALTEX

/in , , /by

‘Precise’ Sherriff Amenity At SALTEX: Visitors to stand E060 at SALTEX 2018 will get the opportunity to find out how they could significantly improve their turf through Sherriff Amenity’s range of unique products and some new dedicated apps.

Sherriff Amenity, the UK’s leading turf and amenity suppliers, have announced the launch of two new apps, which are set to increase efficiency and improve operations for sports turf managers.

‘Precise’ Sherriff Amenity At SALTEX

PrecisionPro is a dedicated app for sports turf to measure any area, guide you in calibrating your spreader for any granular product and also help you apply fertilisers as accurate as ever. The slogan for the app is Measure. Calibrate. Apply – and in just three simple steps accuracy and precision is guaranteed.

The misjudgement of green size often results in over application or under application of fertilisers and both will have a negative effect on performance, disease and budget.

PrecisionPro allows turf managers to have an accurate measured area by simply opening the app and walking the perimeter of the green. Calibrating spreaders has always been a difficult task but with the Calibrate feature in the PrecisionPro app, users are guided through each step of the process. Furthermore, its advanced GPS functionality informs you when to start and stop the calibration process.

Accurate application is taken to the next level and no more guesswork is required. The app features a function to ensure that every operator walks at the same speed – if someone is walking too fast or too slow then they are alerted by colour coded screens. As well as calculating your g/m2 and your walking speed, the Apply feature ultimately ensures that you are applying the correct amount of product to your turf.

Also being showcased on the stand is Sherriff Amenity’s all new ParryMeter football app – which is the world’s first dedicated measurement device to accurately measure the ball roll performance of football pitches using a real football. The ParryMeter football app records thousands of measurements per run ensuring absolute accuracy of readings. Additional data can also be entered into the app and all measurements are saved and easily shared however the user wishes to.

Sherriff Amenity will be joined on the stand by Carbon Gold – the world’s leading biochar company. Sherriff Amenity are the exclusive UK distributors of Carbon Gold’s Enriched Biochar Turf Improver and visitors will be able to discover more about Biochar, which is a highly porous, high carbon form of charcoal used to improve soil nutrition, growing conditions and turf health. It is made from untreated waste woody biomass that has been charred at a low temperature with a restricted supply of oxygen, a process called pyrolysis.

Carbon Gold’s Turf Improver enriches biochar with optimum levels of beneficial fungi, bacteria and trace minerals for optimum soil and sward health. Where prevention rather than cure is key, adding enriched biochar to soil provides the foundation on which to build resilient, attractive, playable turf, as recent sports turf trials have shown.

One lucky visitor to the stand will also walk away with a free Accupro spreader as well as a Lenova tablet, which comes pre-loaded with the PrecisonPro app.

Germinal’s New Amenity Website

/in , /by

Germinal’s New Amenity Website: A new, amenity specific website has been launched by Germinal, designed with the aim of making it easier for groundsmen to get the very best results from their pitches, training grounds and other sports facilities.

The new website, available here, contains all the information professional groundsmen and turfcare professionals need to optimise the performance of their sports facilities, including complete specifications and usage guides for Germinal’s Grade ‘A’ range of sports-specific grass seed mixtures as well as full details of its specialist fertilisers and range of general landscaping products.

Germinal's New Amenity Website

“As well as investing in research and development to bring new grass cultivars and turf care products seeds to the sports amenity sector, we are also conscious of the industry’s appetite for the latest advice in terms of making sports pitches perform to their best potential,” explains Richard Brown, Germinal Amenity Sales Manager.

“Our popular range of ‘Grade A’ grass seed mixtures is always evolving to ensure our sports specific products remain the best available.  The new website has therefore been developed to make it easier for new and existing customers to get ‘Sow Much More’ from their facilities by keeping them abreast of our evolving range of products and to enable them to specify the most appropriate products to suit each site’s specific needs.

“The new website also contains a collection of advice guides and video resources which cover a range of topics from over-seeding ‘how-to’ guides, to detailed explanations of the importance of soil pH and nutrient management.”

The website also contains downloadable fertiliser plans which have been designed by Germinal’s FACTS (Fertiliser Advisers Certification and Training Scheme) qualified experts to enable everyone from novice groundsmen to professional stadium managers to get the best results from their facilities.

The new website also features a ‘Product Selector’ tool which makes it as easy for groundsmen to find the most appropriate products for their projects.

“Our sports specific seed mixtures contain only the very best quality cultivars,” Richard Brown adds.  “However, with such a wide variety of options to choose from, specifying the right mixture  of seed for individual site can be a daunting and time-consuming process.  Our new Product Selector streamlines this process, using step-by-step recommendations to help groundsmen to select the most appropriate seed mixture.  And, just as before, any orders placed before 2pm will be shipped and delivered the next working day.”
