Redexim return to SALTEX

Redexim return to SALTEX: Redexim are excited to be making their post-pandemic return to SALTEX with a new stand providing the platform to showcase their vast portfolio of equipment critical to successful sports turf maintenance.

As their 40th anniversary celebrations continue, the latest iteration of where it all began – the iconic Verti-Drain® – will feature on stand M075, where visitors will also have the opportunity to enter Redexim’s big birthday competition for a chance of winning a ‘fast and furious’ prize!

The very first Verti-Drain® rolled off the production line in 1980, with Redexim UK gaining the rights to sell the now iconic aerator from their inception in 1982. Such was the success and impression that the Verti-Drain® made on the professional market, the name became an eponym for the operation of opening up the ground, with grounds managers to this day understanding the benefits of ‘Verti-Draining’ on a regular basis. Over the years, models were introduced that opened new doors with contractors and golf courses, and while the concept of the Verti-Drain® has been often imitated, its quality has never been matched.

The latest model, the Redexim Verti-Drain® 2519, has now set the benchmark when it comes to high-speed, high-productivity aerators. Featuring a 1.9m working width and an ability to accept a wide range of tine options, the 2519 can cover almost 9000 sq.m per hour thanks to its PTO speed of up to 540rpm. This efficiency, combined with Redexim reliability, has made it a popular choice with both greenkeepers and grounds managers alike.

As thoughts turn to the autumn and the aeration season ahead, thoughts will also be turning to the spectacle that is the FIFA World Cup, kicking off a fortnight after SALTEX. To mark the world’s largest football celebration, and in conjunction with their 40th anniversary, Redexim will be inviting visitors to predict the outcome of this year’s tournament for their chance to be the lucky winner of an experience to remember.

More details of all the latest additions to the Redexim range, and entry into the World Cup competition, can be found by speaking to the technical team on hand across the two days, at the NEC this November.

All applications are assessed by the Research Review Committee to ensure that they are relevant to the Charities objectives, blood cancer and its treatment using stem cells. We would be honoured to call the grant, the Lister Wilder Research Grant.” Dr Joanna Tilley, Interim Operations Director “It’s been a real pleasure organising and taking part in this event” said Phill Hughes – Sales Director “We are delighted with the amount of money that we’ve raised for LMRUK, and are grateful to everyone that donated to us, both corporate and individually.

Aspen Fuel at SALTEX

/in , /by

Aspen Fuel at SALTEX: Aspen, the original alkylate petrol pioneers, are returning to SALTEX this November with their range of alkylate fuels for two and four-stroke engines and an initiative not to be missed.

Visitors to stand M055 can learn how Aspen enhances engine performance and reduces the negative impact on both the operator and environment with a chance to then trial it for themselves – and get their money back if they change their minds!

Founded in 1988, Aspen has long been improving the operating environment for landscapers, arborists and groundcare professionals. Alkylate petrol is formed from the gasses which are produced when refining oil. The alkylation process involves tuning those excess gases into a liquid alkylate, before combining them with some additional components to create a finished fuel which is significantly purer than traditional petrol. Content of harmful and hazardous hydrocarbons and polyaromatics (PAH) is close to zero with Aspen, reducing Benzene emissions by up to 108 times!

The cleaner burn achieved with Aspen also helps to maintain engine performance, reliability and preserve the life of engine components that can be susceptible to clogging or failure when running on conventional pump fuel; especially if equipment has been left in storage for any significant period of time.

Those wishing to experience the Aspen difference for themselves can now try the fuel, risk-free, with a new money back guarantee launching at SALTEX 2022. Subject to a bulk purchase, operators can use Aspen in their own working environments with the confidence that, if they don’t notice the significant improvements to sustainable working practices, they can return the unused fuel.

“People may think that all petrol is the same, but when people give Aspen a go, they quickly see the benefits it can bring to all aspects of the task at hand” comments Business Development Manager Axel Hildebrand. “The reduction in toxic fumes and the elimination of the ‘blue haze’ is particularly beneficial for those operators using hand tools or working in confined spaces, and we’re confident that as soon as operators give Aspen a try, they won’t look back.”

Kubota trio at SALTEX

/in , /by

Kubota trio at SALTEX: A dedicated ‘new product’ zone is going to be bursting at the seams on stand C070, as Kubota return to SALTEX. A trio of new machines will be on show across the RTV and compact tractor ranges, that promise to meet the requirements of even more of today’s groundcare professionals – with the launch of the LXe-261 electric compact tractor marking a major step forward in Kubota’s eco-friendly product line-up.

The LXe-261 overcomes the major challenge of range, powered by a large-capacity battery that provides rapid one-hour charging and a continuous operational run-time of three to four hours. Of particular interest for sporting venues, local authorities and other public bodies in the pursuit of improving their sustainable credentials, the LXe-261 also features an independent PTO, comfortable HST transmission and multiple hydraulic outlets to optimise efficiency of mowing, hauling and other green space management tasks.

Also new in the tractor portfolio will be the EK1-261. The EK1-261 is powered by a 24.4hp diesel engine, driving through to the ground via the 9F+3R manual transmission and providing a rear linkage lift capacity of 750kg. Proving that compact doesn’t have to mean compromise, options including a front loader, front guard and rear fender extensions will be available.

The Kubota team will be on hand across the two days to discuss the complete tractor, ride-on mower and side-by-side vehicle ranges – the newest addition to this being the RTV 520, launched earlier this year and making its UK debut at SALTEX. The compact and versatile RTV 520 combines high performance and comfort with a range of accessories suitable for a wide range of domestic and commercial applications. It features a variable hydrostatic transmission (VHT) with one-pedal operation for smooth acceleration and dynamic braking. The suspension, seat and engine have also been improved to reduce vibration and make for an easier and more comfortable ride.
