ISEKI to provide comprehensive showcase at SALTEX: Iseki UK & Ireland will showcase its comprehensive range of compact tractors, mowers, and electric vehicles across three areas at SALTEX 2024, as the company continues to provide the turf industry with tailored machinery for every application. 

Iseki’s Industry Leading Compact Machinery 

Stand D050 will feature the Iseki range of ride-on mowers and compact tractors, including the new TM 4270 Cab and TM 4230 ROPS models.

The 25hp TM 4270, which will be equipped with a snow plough and salt spreader on the stand to showcase its all-weather capabilities, is perfect for grounds care, sports turf, artificial turf, and winter work.

The new factory-built cabin is the most spacious in its class and comes with air conditioning, heating, a heated rear window, and front and rear LED work lights for maximised year-round operator comfort and safety.

Features on the latest additions to the range also include 21hp and 25hp Iseki diesel engines, which are stage V compliant and will run on HVO fuel too, as well as rear PTO 540/750 rpm for HST models and 540 rpm mechanical, and the three range Hydrostatic transmission or F9/ R9 mechanical transmission.

Joining the duo of tractors is the TG 6507 IQ Cab with Iseki/MX C4 loader, while the SF 544 1300 litre out-front collecting mower with 60” deck and SXG3 range with cut and drop options and high-tip collector will also be on the stand.

Electric Options for Every Sector

Meeting Iseki’s promise to provide the best option for every application, Stand D041 will feature the 100% electric Addax MT15 fully customisable commercial utility vehicle. With zero emissions, the Addax MT15 supports environmental goals set by clubs, councils and universities by reducing air pollution. It offers versatile configurations, including a flatbed, tipper, combo tipper, or cargo box, with a payload capacity of up to 1000 kg. These options make it suitable for tasks ranging from carrying tools and maintenance equipment to transporting parcels and managing waste. The combo tipper includes a lockable toolbox for added security, while the cargo box features hinged, lockable rear doors and a side-mounted roller shutter for easy access.

The vehicle is fully N1 road homologated with a top speed of up to 44 mph and a range of up to 82 miles WLTP (depending upon model), making it efficient for travel between sites located within low emissions zones. Continuing the electric theme is the radio controlled Raymo mower with R14 SFINX post trimmer. Equipped with a 104cm rear discharge full floating deck, the fully electric mower has outstanding climbing ability and cuts on undulating and sloped terrain with ease using a zero-turn steering system and 4WD.

Its attributes make it perfect for commercial mowing in parks, industrial estates and other areas, while low running costs and easy operation make it an efficient addition to any company.

Bringing Quality to Grassroots Sport 

Iseki has a long history of working with grassroots clubs in football and rugby, making SALTEX’s Community Sports Zone the perfect place to exhibit the TXG S24 sub-compact and TLE 3410 compact tractor.

The 23hp HST and 40hp HST machines will be fitted with implements perfect for grassroots sport and will demonstrate the various benefits of a quality compact tractor. More information on all ISEKI products can be found on www.Iseki.co.uk.

Iseki staff will be across all three areas to provide advice and answer any questions throughout both days of the exhibition.

Reesink’s new Area Sales Manager appointed

/in , , /by

Reesink’s new Area Sales Manager appointed: Nick Gardener is delighted to join the Reesink team as the new Area Sales Manager for Shropshire and Staffordshire, bringing invaluable experience from the greenkeeping world.

Before answering Reesink’s call, Nick, a former tour player, earned his certifications as an apprentice greenkeeper at Broadway Golf Club in 2015, worked as Area Sales Manager with Tallis Amos and became Head Greenkeeper at the Heythrop Park Golf Club.

“What attracted me to this industry as an ex-greenkeeper was meeting the people who use our tools on the ground every day,” Nick explains. “It allows me to learn from them and help them further enhance their golf course, sports or commercial business for the future, especially with premium products and solutions like Toro.” 

Mentioning his passion for the brand he continues: “When I first started as a greenkeeper we had Toro products and I used to go to Reesink for training, so it feels a bit like I’ve gone full circle, in a good way. It’s a dream come true, really.”

Beginning his new role, Nick is eager to support turfcare professionals and strengthen Reesink’s presence in Shropshire and Staffordshire – and through this appointment, the company now offers full service and training for Toro machines in the area. 

“By going to customers directly, we can guarantee a great standard of care, giving precise and straightforward answers whenever a client needs our advice. Being the sole distributor of Toro commercial and grounds products in the UK, we can provide access to experienced product specialists and genuine Toro parts right on your doorstep. At the end of the day, it’s about first-class service.”

As a former Head Greenkeeper, Nick will also be looking to develop existing and new relationships in the area through open days where turfcare professionals can see new Toro machines up close and freely discuss future plans. 

Among many priorities, Nick looks forward to helping sports, commercial and turf managers deliver more value, improve efficiency and gain more time for planning their turfcare programme. For instance, he believes automated mowers and sprayer technologies can empower turfcare professionals to achieve more with less: “I think automation is going to be a very good thing, enabling course managers to get off mowers and refine their broader turfcare health strategy.”

“This way, we can close the gap between the standards of British and American golf courses, which on average have higher budgets and more manpower,” Nick continues. “With enhanced greenkeeping knowledge, automated power and more reliable equipment, we can narrow that gap and take the quality of our golf courses to an even higher level.” 

Nick is only a phone call away and he’s happy to drop by to have a conversation in person about your turfcare needs. You can find him at 07425 757 386 or nicholas.gardener@reesinkuk.co.uk.
