Redexim Launch Two New Machines: Redexim is pleased to announce the launch of two new machines: Verti-Cut Flex 2000 and Turf-Tidy 1100.

The Verti-Cut Flex 2000 simplifies dethatching on undulating terrain and pivots around curves and bends with ease. The Turf-Tidy 1100 offers compact and manoeuvrable cut & collect. Its clamshell design allows for the quick release of material.

Verti-Cut Flex 2000: Perfect results on undulating turf

We verticut to remove thatch and lateral grasses that build up and deprive the soil of nutrients. However, precise and even verticutting on undulating surfaces that will not scalp the turf requires a flexible solution.

The Verti-Cut Flex 2000 is that flexible solution. It offers exceptional manoeuvrability and consistent cutting quality over and around uneven surfaces, reducing the risk of scalping. Multiple points of flexibility and floating wings allow for easy undulation following.

The machine can also pivot around curves and bends thanks to Passive Pivoting Suspension™, and it is ready to move over and around hills, slopes, and complex terrain, such as around trees or along the contours of a golf green.

Requiring a minimum of 30 HP, it has a working width of 2 m (79″) and a maximum working depth of 40 mm (1.6″). A belt-driven system ensures simple operation, and a single grease point makes maintenance straightforward. The rear debris guards are easily removed for cleaning, while the floating wings can be folded up for compact storage.

Turf-Tidy 1100: Compact, tractor-mounted, cut & collect

The Turf-Tidy 1100 is a tractor-mounted, close-coupled cut & collect unit that sweeps, dethatches, flail mows and scarifies all in one. Its design makes it easy to pick up, take tight turns, lower it and get to work. The clamshell hopper is a low-dump design.

Simply use the hydraulics, open the back and release the material. No lifting required.

Quick-release knives enable fast switching between either a flail or a scarifier.

With a hopper capacity of 1,100 litres (290 US gallons) and a working width of 1.5 m (59”), the Turf-Tidy 1100 is compact yet capable.

Moasure’s new features for Motion-Based Measuring Tools

/in , /by

Moasure’s new features for Motion-Based Measuring Tools: Moasure continues to transform the way green industry professionals measure and document job sites, with its motion-based measuring technology. Following their last major app update in February 2025, Moasure has just launched a new app update, designed to offer more ways to customise and streamline landscaping measurements.

The Moasure 2 Series – comprising Moasure 2 and Moasure 2 PRO – enables professionals to measure and draw irregular job sites quickly and accurately. As the landscaping contractor walks the site, the Moasure 2 Series automatically captures a wide range of measurement data, including perimeter, area, volume, true surface area, elevation changes, angles, and more. Useful for sites with curved lawns, sloping yards, irregular pathways and multiple different areas within a green space, the Moasure 2 Series has been designed to support professionals in measuring complex terrain and site features.

Using accelerometers and gyroscopes to calculate the X, Y, and Z (elevation) coordinates of each measurement point, the Moasure 2 Series devices produce scaled 2D and 3D diagrams, that are instantly viewable via the Bluetooth-connected Moasure app. By measuring and drawing at the same time, users reduce guesswork and streamline site documentation – all without GPS, Wi-Fi, line of sight, network coverage, or additional manpower.

Using Moasure 2 PRO, green industry professionals can also leverage the exclusive Layout Mode feature – enabling them to locate and mark points on-site from predefined X, Y coordinates. The Moasure 2 Series helps landscaping professionals cut measuring time, improve material orders, and handle complex areas with accuracy – reducing rework and boosting confidence, efficiency, and profit margins.

Highlights of the App Update

The latest update to the app is free of charge for all Moasure users, including those on the first-generation Moasure device, or users of the most recent product line, the Moasure 2 Series. With it, additional personalisation tools and refinements have been added to improve on-site efficiency, save time, and make measurements fit each project’s needs:

  • Annotations – Add custom text directly to the measurement canvas to mark important site details, like paths and planting beds, not tied to a specific point.
  • Voice Labelling – Create instant text labels hands-free by speaking into the device while measuring, keeping workflows uninterrupted.
  • Custom Contour Intervals – Define major and minor contour line spacing for 2D and 3D contour maps, offering more terrain detail control.
  • Custom Colour Picker – Assign any colour, including hex values, to measurement layers for clear visualisation or brand alignment.
  • CAD Imports for Layout (Moasure 2 PRO only) – Import X, Y coordinates directly from DXF/DWG files to streamline layout tasks, with an optional “Optimise Route” feature for faster marking.
  • Refreshed Cross-Section View – View gradient changes, rise, run, and angles in one streamlined display for quicker decisions in the field.
  • Interface Improvements – A redesigned Export and Settings menu, improved metadata display, and clearer navigation for a smoother user experience.

Like previous updates, Moasure’s latest release is shaped by customer feedback from multiple industries like landscaping, construction, concrete, and more. The result is a tool that evolves with the green industry professionals who rely on Moasure’s technology daily.

Chloë Hyde, spokesperson for Moasure, said: “We’re proud to be releasing another free app update for our entire customer base, giving users even more flexibility and customisation tools for when they take, view, and edit measurements. Listening to customer feedback is really important to how these features are shaped, and we’re glad to see that reflected once again in the latest release.”

Moasure’s app update is now live, free for every Moasure user, and the latest step in Moasure’s journey to make measuring faster, easier, and more accurate for professionals across the globe.

Agronomic Services celebrates success with Hull KR: David Snowden (MD) and Angus McRae (Sales Manager) of Agronomic Services Ltd, were thrilled to have the pleasure of visiting Sewell Group Craven Park, the home of Hull KR, to get a closer look at their recently won Challenge Cup. The invite was extended by Anthony Brockwell (Head Groundsman) and Phil Stow (Operations and Facilities Manager).

After establishing a successful relationship over the past 7 years, David and Angus were honoured to behold the cup and participate in the success of the club winning this esteemed historical award.

Record-Breaking Turf Science Live 2025

/in , , /by

Record-Breaking Turf Science Live 2025: Turf Science Live 2025 drew record attendance in Ireland and strong engagement in Scotland, underlining the continued demand for practical, research-led learning in turf management.

Organised by ICL and Syngenta, the series brought together turf professionals to explore the latest research and technology. Held at Carton House and Fairmont St Andrews, delegates rotated through technical stations covering precision spray application, precision nutrition, adapting disease control to a changing climate, building fertilisers for the future, and the role of biostimulants in turf management.

Reflecting on this year’s events, Colman Warde, Country Manager for ICL in Ireland, said: “Turf Science Live is about creating a learning environment where turf professionals can see new technologies and innovations in practice and ask questions directly to the people behind them. The feedback has been outstanding again this year, and it is clear that events like these help greenkeepers and grounds teams take away practical knowledge they can apply straight away.”

A highlight of the St Andrews event was a presentation from The R&A on Championship Agronomy, giving attendees a rare insight into how world-class playing surfaces are prepared and maintained for major tournaments.

Delegates represented every level of the industry, from apprentices and assistant greenkeepers through to course managers, superintendents, agronomists, and head grounds staff. The mix of practical experience and perspective added to the open discussion and knowledge-sharing across both events.

Sarah Hughes, Business Manager at Syngenta, noted: “At Turf Science Live we focused on two key areas for turf managers: precision spray application and adapting disease control to a changing climate. From practical sprayer set-up and new nozzle technology to strategies for managing turf health under more unpredictable weather patterns, the sessions showed how Syngenta research is being translated into real-world solutions.”

Neil Holger, Course Manager at Hamilton Golf Club, who attended the St Andrews event, said: “For me, the best thing about Turf Science Live is finding out what’s new and what’s coming, but also the networking. As course managers and greenkeepers we’re always busy, so it’s good to catch up, hear what others are doing, and speak to the experts. It’s always a worthwhile day out.”

With positive feedback from both venues, Turf Science Live will return in 2026, continuing to bring innovation and applied knowledge directly to turf professionals.
