Rotadairon Stone Burier Joins the Campey Portfolio

Campey Turf Care Systems has strengthened its soil-preparation offering with the addition of the Rotadairon Stone Burier, a versatile machine engineered to create a high-quality seedbed in a single pass.

Rotadairon Stone Burier Joins the Campey Portfolio

Developed for the construction and renovation of green spaces, the Rotadairon combines the work of several implements in one operation. Its rotor cultivates and mixes the soil, while stones, vegetation and surface debris are directed beneath the cultivated layer. Selection-grid fingers retain coarser material as finer soil passes through, and the levelling blade and rear roller leave a clean, consolidated surface ready for seeding or turf establishment.

By integrating cultivation, burying, levelling, mixing and rolling, the machine can reduce the number of passes, tractor movements and separate attachments required to prepare a site. The result is a streamlined workflow for contractors and turf professionals working to tight programmes, particularly where a consistent finish is needed across natural sports pitches, golf developments, training grounds, landscaped areas and new amenity spaces.

The addition of the Stone Burier and the wider Rotadairon range gives Campey customers a comprehensive choice of specialist machines for soil preparation, renovation and ground care. From transforming rough or previously disturbed ground into a level, consolidated seedbed to supporting a broader range of site requirements, Rotadairon products complement Campey’s established machinery portfolio and reinforce its focus on efficient, high-quality solutions for natural and hybrid turf.

Henton & Chatell celebrates 95th anniversary at GroundsFest

Leading garden machinery distributor Henton & Chattell will return to GroundsFest 2026 in a landmark year for the business, as it celebrates 95 years since it was founded.

Henton & Chatell celebrates 95th anniversary at GroundsFest

The company will unveil one of the biggest collections of new Cobra machinery in the brand’s history, with major launches spanning professional sports turf, robotic lawncare and domestic lawnmowers.

Taking centre stage will be the new Cobra Fortis Rotary 34, developed to complement the already successful Fortis Stadium 34 professional cylinder mower range. The new rotary model further strengthens Cobra’s growing presence within professional sports turf, offering grounds teams an additional high-performance mowing solution for stadiums, cricket clubs and other premium turf environments.

GroundsFest visitors will also get a first look at a new Cobra out-front mower, the latest generation of Cobra Mowbot robotic lawnmowers, and a number of other new additions to the Cobra range.

The new Mowbot range will include the Mowbot 800RTK X and Mowbot 1500RTK X, both featuring RTK satellite positioning, VSLAM visual navigation and intelligent obstacle detection to deliver accurate, wire-free mowing without the need for a traditional boundary cable. Multi-zone management and app-based control also allow users to easily manage different areas of the lawn.

Visitors will also be given an exclusive preview of the forthcoming Cobra Mowbot Edge, ahead of its planned launch in 2027. Designed to deliver a cleaner finish right up to the lawn edge, the Mowbot Edge features Precision Offset Drive technology, with a motorised lateral cutting adjustment system that moves the cutting disc beyond the wheel line. By allowing the mower to cut to within just 1cm of the lawn edge, the system is designed to deliver an exceptionally clean finish around borders and boundaries, significantly reducing – and in many cases eliminating – the need for follow-up trimming with a grass trimmer.

The Mowbot Edge will also introduce 180° Ultra-Vision Avoidance: Dual-Camera System. Featuring a new Side Camera alongside advanced AI vision, the system enables the mower to identify more than 300 different obstacles and expand its field of vision beyond the direction of travel. This allows it to effectively “see” around corners and respond in real time to pets, children, garden furniture, ornaments and other objects as it moves around the lawn.

Combined, the Mowbot 800RTK X, Mowbot 1500RTK X and preview of the 2027 Mowbot Edge demonstrate Cobra’s continued investment in next-generation robotic lawncare and make the 2026 showcase one of the most significant product showcases ever staged by the brand.

A major focus of the stand will also be the continued evolution of the Cobra Fortis range, including the Fortis Stadium 34 professional cylinder mower. Developed specifically for the sports turf market, the professional cylinder mower has been engineered to deliver the precision, consistency and finish demanded by stadiums, golf courses, cricket clubs and bowling greens.

Together, the Fortis Stadium 34 cylinder mower and new Fortis Rotary 34 underline Cobra’s growing commitment to the professional sports turf sector, combining robust engineering and exceptional cutting performance with the backing of Henton & Chattell’s established dealer support network.

The brand will also showcase its zero-turn and stand-on mowers. The new range includes the ZTR42L and ZTR50L zero-turn mowers alongside the ZTS32L and ZTS36L stand-on models. Designed for large estates, local authorities and landscapers maintaining larger areas, the machines feature heavy-duty cutting decks, premium engines and enhanced manoeuvrability to maximise productivity across demanding sites.

Henton & Chattell will also be showcasing a selection of models from the Billy Goat range. Built for demanding commercial applications, the range includes powerful leaf and litter vacuums, debris loaders, blowers, aerators, overseeders, scarifiers and turf renovation equipment. Designed to help contractors, grounds teams and landscaping professionals work more efficiently, Billy Goat machinery combines high performance, durability and user-friendly operation.

GroundsFest comes during a particularly significant year for Henton & Chattell, as the family business celebrates its 95th anniversary. Over nearly a century, the company has built a long-standing reputation for supplying quality garden machinery and supporting dealers across the UK, with Cobra becoming one of the country’s fastest-growing garden machinery brands.

Peter Chaloner, Managing Director of Henton & Chattell, said: “GroundsFest has become one of the standout events in the industry, bringing together dealers, contractors and grounds professionals from across the UK, so we’re delighted to be returning during such a significant year for our business.

“While celebrating our 95th anniversary gives us the opportunity to reflect on our heritage, it’s equally important to look ahead. Cobra has evolved dramatically in recent years and we’re continuing to invest heavily in new product development across domestic and professional markets. This year’s GroundsFest showcase reflects that ambition. From professional sports turf machinery and the latest robotic lawncare technology to new ride-on and lawnmower launches, we’re looking forward to showing visitors just how far the Cobra range has developed and where we’re taking the brand next.”

Representatives from the Henton & Chattell team will be available throughout GroundsFest to discuss the latest product launches, demonstrate the new machinery and talk to dealers, contractors and end users about the continued expansion of the Cobra range.
