John Deere Revolutionary Technology

October 25, 2018/in Events, News, Press Release/by Admin

Unlike traditional pneumatic tyres, the Michelin X Tweel Turf virtually eliminates tyre downtime and is nearly maintenance free. A new Z994R model equipped with X Tweel Turf tyres makes its UK & Ireland show debut on the John Deere stand (E080) at SALTEX 2018 at the NEC, Birmingham in November, alongside the company’s latest compact tractor and lawn tractor developments.

Offering a combination of operator comfort, productivity and a high-quality finish, the Z994R is designed to cater for customers looking for a more compact solution to working in restricted spaces. It features a powerful 25hp (18.4kW) diesel engine together with a heavy-duty frame and a belt-driven deck for optimum power efficiency. High output is further achieved by the 137cm (54in) 7-Iron PRO side-discharge rotary mower deck.

“The Z994R excels in the toughest mowing conditions while also providing the fuel economy, compact size and durability that commercial customers value,” says John Deere’s European turf sales & marketing manager Carlos Aragones. “It also offers a range of options designed to increase operator comfort and reduce fatigue during long working hours, as well as delivering lower operating costs and improved performance.”

These options include the exciting new Michelin X Tweel Turf tyre, which avoids downtime from punctures when compared to traditional pneumatic tyres. It has the same dimensions and bolt pattern as a standard tyre and features automotive rubber technology, allowing the tread to last up to three times longer. The Tweel also reduces ground compaction and increases ride quality, which is enhanced by the mower’s new ComfortGlide seat.

Using pioneering technology first introduced by John Deere on its agricultural tractors and other self-propelled equipment in 2001, a top of the range 4066R compact tractor can also be seen for the first time equipped with a StarFire satellite receiver and AutoTrac Universal automatic steering system. This is now being made available on the company’s compact tractor range to help operators achieve higher levels of accuracy and input cost savings when working with implements such as amenity turf sprayers and spreaders.

An enhanced range of high-capacity commercial mower decks has also been announced for the popular John Deere X940 Series diesel lawn tractors. These are designed to increase performance and further improve operator convenience.

The robust construction of these decks, which are stamped from a single steel plate, ensures that they are built to last and serve the needs of demanding commercial operators. Available with cutting widths of 137 or 152cm (54 or 60in), the decks are uniquely designed to handle high volumes of material.

Upgrades have been made to the drive-over ramps for even easier connection of the mower deck to the tractor. In addition, the X940 Series now comes as standard with a new deluxe seat featuring adjustable back support, with an air ride suspension seat available as an option. Both seats are now fitted with armrests.

The existing MulchControl feature, which allows simple changes between grass discharge and mulching, has also been enhanced by the addition of an optional hydraulic actuator known as One-Touch. This increases the speed of changing between modes for increased uptime and ease of operation.

All these new products will be available at John Deere dealerships in the UK and Ireland from spring 2019.

New Hayter Products At SALTEX

October 25, 2018/in Events, News, Press Release/by Admin

Landscaping leaders Toro will also be showcasing a variety of equipment, from walk-behind and ride-on mowers to stump grinders and the PowerPlex® cordless tool range.

One product they will be introducing to visitors at the stand is the new Grandstand® mower with rear discharge feature. Visitors will be able to take a look at two new Grandstand® models – the 36” (91cm) and 48” (122cm), both of which have several enhanced features and accessories, including rear discharge and a recycler kit. The rear discharge feature enables the dispersion of clippings across the cut width for a fine after cut appearance, as well as making the mower much more manoeuvrable in smaller spaces.

The Grandstand® mower also has the benefits of a professional walk behind, while being quick and comfortable to use, allowing a large area to be covered in a short amount of time. Hillside mowing is also made easier through the mower’s wide stance and optimal balance, which improve stability and control.

Sharing the stand will be Hayter, also showcasing some highly anticipated product launches that will join a rich heritage at the familiar British brand.

These new mowers, to be publicly unveiled at SALTEX for the first time, have been designed to be robust, vigorous and flexible and will undoubtedly be an exciting new addition to the long line of products that make up Hayter’s history. Innovation is at the heart of the new models, as with all Hayter products, and they are sure to continue on the company’s legacy of top quality mowers.

The Toro and Hayter teams will be present throughout SALTEX to answer any questions you may have about their products. Visit them at stand E065.
