IKON XD Range Increases

June 7, 2022/in News, Press Release/by Fiona Sare

IKON XD Range Increases: Ariens is adding to its IKON XD range of zero-turn mowers with two new models; the IKON XD 42 and IKON 52, both featuring the new 764cc twin cylinder Ariens engine – designed to be powerful yet fuel efficient.

This new engine has an enhanced combustion chamber that burns fuel mixture quicker, resulting in greater combustion efficiency. Couple this with its carburettor and the finely tuned fuel spray it produces and the Ariens engine is one of the most fuel-efficient engines available today – but this doesn’t impact on its power.

IKON XD Range Increases

The IKON XD 42 Ariens engine is rated at 15.5kW of power @2800RPM whilst the IKON 52 Ariens engine is rated at 16.6kW of power @3000RPM. Both models with the Ariens engine also have over 50Nm of torque for optimum cutting performance. The engine is also easy to maintain thanks to toolless access to the air filter and well positioned oil drain. It is also long lasting and durable thanks to its design and anti-wear components.

The IKON XD’s innovative zero-turn capability means it can turn in its own footprint, ensuring no lawn is left unfinished. This is achieved through its ability to drive and steer from the back wheels via two independent transmissions. This guarantees it not only produces excellent finishes but reduces mowing time by up to 50 percent compared to a garden tractor. Additionally, its fully fabricated commercial style deck with advanced airflow and range of cutting sizes ensures exceptional cutting performance every time.

Furthermore, the high back seat with padded arm rests and large tyres makes it a comfortable ride – perfect for tackling large lawns.

The IKON XD 42 and 52 is now available with the Ariens 764cc engine. For further information on the IKON XD range, contact your dealer or visit https://www.ariens.eu/series/ikon-xd

CEORA™ arrives with first customers

June 7, 2022/in News, Press Release/by Rachel Jones

CEORA™ arrives with first customers: HUSQVARNA, the pioneer in smart commercial grounds care and robotic mowing, today announces that the highly anticipated CEORA™ has arrived with its first customers, offering a brand-new solution for commercial turf care management in the UK.

Expected to revolutionise an industry dominated by heavy, conventional fuel-driven machinery that require manual operation, high levels of maintenance and expose the environment to harmful emissions, Husqvarna CEORA™ can independently mow an area of up to 75,000m² (the equivalent of up to eight football pitches) day or night, significantly reducing overall costs by approximately 30%, improving the quality of the turf and allowing staff to focus on other tasks.

CEORA™ arrives with first customers

Operating through Husqvarna’s satellite navigation system, EPOS (Exact Positioning Operating System), CEORA™ uses GPS coordinates to map out its work areas and navigates with a precision of 2-3 cm. The satellite-based technology enables CEORA™ to work within virtual boundaries, making it an easy and flexible solution for sports pitches, golf courses – and all other large green areas. Customers are able to map out different zones within the work area and set different cutting schedules and heights. All of this is controlled via their smartphones, meaning maintenance during the cutting season is limited to changing blades and cleaning.

Husqvarna has launched two autonomous models into the UK market – Husqvarna CEORA™ 544 EPOS (RRP £14,199.00) and Husqvarna CEORA™ 546 EPOS (RRP £18,199.00), which are used in combination with the Husqvarna Razor 43M Cutting Deck (RRP £7,499.00). In the future, the ground-breaking solution of CEORA™ will expand with more attachments designed with turf care professionals in mind, with ideas including to help with fertilising, lawn striping, or even collecting golf balls from playing areas.

Following the UK roll-out, The Ridge Golf Club in Kent was the first to have CEORA™ arrive on its course, with an installation carried out in partnership with Ernest Doe, an authorised Husqvarna CEORA™ dealer.

Hannah Cooper, Professional Segment Manager, at Husqvarna UK said: “Since announcing CEORA™ last year, we have had an overwhelming response from all corners of the industry who are desperate to get their hands on the new models. We are excited to finally see this revolutionary new product with customers and to have stock available through our approved CEORA™ network of dealers. CEORA™ is set to change the game in turf care, and we are confident it will be a much-appreciated addition to any fleet.”

CEORA™ is available to order now from selected authorised dealerships across the UK. CEORA™ is also available in Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, Netherlands, France, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, and Poland.
