Powered by Makita’s Lithium-Ion batteries, which many site tradesmen will already own with their Makita power tools, the DCJ206Z LXT Jacket, compatible with 14.4V and 18V LXT batteries only, will run in Hi, Medium and Lo heat settings providing up to 35 continuous hours of comfort when powered by a Makita 18V 6.0Ah Lithium-Ion battery. The jacket features five heat zones, two on the chest and three in the back, which are controlled by an on/off selector with LED indicator conveniently positioned on the chest. An external transparent chest pocket perfectly protects essential ID cards from the elements.

Complete with battery adaptor, the heated jackets are made of robust and durable fluorescent yellow polyester with reflective silver lines, are washable when detached from the battery, have a removable zipper hood and are cosily fleece lined. The 2-way front zipper opens from top and bottom. The DCJ206Z hi-vis jacket, weighing a comfortable 1.2kg, is designed to meet ISO20471, and many other recognised standards, for use on roads and construction sites.

The CJ106DZ Heated CXT Jacket is compatible with 10.8V and 12Vmax CXT batteries only and offers the same high quality and outstanding design features as the LXT models, weighing a comfortable 1.1kg, and provides a run time of up to 14 hours when powered by a 4.0Ah Makita CXT battery. These body only items are available in M/L/XL/2XL and 3XL sizes and come with their own CXT version of the adaptor.

Of course, these smart and protective clothing items can justifiably be worn around a rugby or football pitch, while lakeside fishing or for gentle winter strolls in the countryside.

Triple Toro Launch At BTME

February 7, 2019/in Events, Machinery, News, Press Release/by Rosie Duckworth

David Cole, managing director, says: “It was a first for us to have three launches at one show, but this demonstrates our dedication for bringing our customers the very latest advancements in turfcare technology.”

The eTriFlex is a classic example of Toro responding to customer demand by creating a machine which significantly reduces noise. The new hydraulics-free Greensmaster eTriFlex 3360 with lithium-ion battery cuts noise to deliver quiet, leak-free, clean cutting. This allows work to start earlier and may circumvent noise regulations. It will help avoid complaints from area residents and prevent having to delay mowing certain greens early in the morning or during the day. Plus, with greens ready earlier, it could enhance revenue by allowing earlier tee times.

The new Greensmaster 1021 brings a new level of consistency to pedestrian mowing and takes all that was revolutionary, popular and legacy-making about the 1000 pedestrian mower and adds design improvements to make operation smoother, green-to-green cut more consistent and adjustment easier. The 21-inch mower features a new telescoping loop handle which can be easily adjusted to comfortably accommodate operators of all heights and skill levels and handle isolation mounts to give the cutting unit constant contact with the ground throughout the mowing process.

David says: “These machines launch in America at the GIS Show 2019, so they really are the latest in terms of cutting-edge design and technology.”

Visitors to BTME were also given the first glimpse of Toro’s Lynx Smart Module and Smart Hub irrigation setup which provides the flexibility of a satellite controller with the cost savings of a two-wire system.

Based on decades of engineering experience from Toro to deliver high speed diagnostics using rapid two-way communications, the Lynx Smart Module two-wire system is an adaptation on the already successful GDC control system. It’s a forwards and backwards compatible add-on tool which provides backup and operation should connection to the central control be interrupted so irrigation continues.

It comes with attachments to expand the capabilities of the Lynx central control system to another level. The module makes irrigation smart – add it to a GDC system, for example, for extra precision and speed. Meanwhile, the pedestal or wall-mounted Smart Hub enables the system to be segmented into manageable areas by strategically placing up to nine Smart Hubs over the site for simplified maintenance.

David concludes: “To have three such interesting launches at BTME meant we had a consistently busy stand! It was great to see so much interest in the new technology from Toro and for our other brands Otterbine, TYM Tractors and 1^st Products.”
