Reesink Turfcare brings strong presence to BTME: Distributor Reesink Turfcare brings a strong presence to BTME 2026, showcasing cutting-edge technologies and equipment designed to streamline golf course management, improve efficiency, and elevate course conditions.

Software and technology feature heavily in three new product launches and the latest to market machinery. Here are some of the innovations on display.

Reesink Turfcare brings strong presence to BTME

Satellite technology

Thanks to Toro’s exclusive partnership with TerraRad, turfRad uses remote sensing technology to detect moisture information deep under the surface of the turf accessing everything there is to know to make actionable changes to improve irrigation.

Each sensor takes about 10,000 single-point measurements per fairway and considers the chlorophyll content and surface temperature from the microwaves naturally emitting from the soil. This real-time data is sent to the turfRad software to help provide a streamlined, more effective irrigation strategy that eliminates the need for manual labour when it comes to moisture monitoring and sprinkler adjustments.

turfRad will be on display at BTME affixed to the revolutionary customer favourite, Toro Reelmaster 5010-H, Toro Lynx software will also be available to view and Reesink representatives will be on stand to run through its UI.

Robert Jackson, Hydro-Scapes Division Manager, comments: “As a simple attachment to a Toro mower or utility vehicle, monitoring your soil to accumulate actionable information fits into the day job with turfRad. The information acquired can be used to make decisions that make savings, identify issues and irregularities, direct attention to problem areas and use water more strategically.”

Web-based digital toolkit

Intelli360 is the new web-based digital toolkit to simplify how course managers keep operations running smoothly from one day to the next. With this, they can manage equipment fleets from anywhere, monitor operating status, hours and upcoming maintenance needs and manage resources in real-time from one central hub.

Battery-powering customer favourites

Toro’s brand-new fully electric GreensPro e1700 is electric efficiency personified. It utilises two to four of Toro’s hypercell batteries, larger rollers, and a unique hitch design to allow for easy transition from rolling to transport. It will sit alongside the equally whisper-quiet, also brand new addition to the Workman utility vehicles range – the Toro LTX Lithium.

Autonomous technology

Ground-breaking when they launched at BTME last year, the Toro autonomous range including the Groundsmaster eTriFlex 3360 with GeoLink Mow and Turf Pro 300 and 500 state-of-the-art autonomous robotic mowers utilise advanced technology for consistently clean, well-maintained turf and crisply cut grass with minimal operator input and quiet operation.

These mowers care for every inch of the turf without sacrificing quality and free up greenkeeping staff to apply their specialised skills to other needs across the course, just like the autonomous technology in the Range Pro can ease the labour-intensive task of collecting golf balls from the driving range.

Jon Cole, Divisional Business Manager, Reesink Turfcare, says: “It is evident from our Toro line up how technology and software continues to lead product development, bringing big changes in operational efficiencies and the health and aesthetics of the course. Our Reesink representatives on stand look forward to talking through the products and benefits they bring with customers looking for innovations that count.”

The irrigation and water aeration offering from Reesink will have the usual focus on water sustainability. Alongside the most advanced central control system, there will be controllers and sprinklers from Toro and water aerators for creating the cleanest, healthiest water quality for your lakes, ponds, and reservoirs from Otterbine.

See what Reesink has to offer for 2026 on stand 622 at BTME 20-22 January.

STIGA Showcases Cutting-Edge Technology at Allianz Stadium

December 22, 2025/in News, Press Release/by Admin

STIGA Showcases Cutting-Edge Technology at Allianz Stadium: The STIGA team brought their full range of robotic and professional mowing solutions to the home of England Rugby this week, giving the grounds team at Allianz Stadium the opportunity to put the latest machines through their paces.

As the newly appointed Official Groundskeeping Partner of the Rugby Football Union (RFU), STIGA was eager to give the Allianz grounds team hands-on experience with the brand’s innovative product range, including its latest autonomous robot mowers, award-winning APX PRO, battery-powered equipment and new electric tractors.

The STIGA team were amazed at how pristine the pitch looked, even though there had been a tough England v Argentina match the day before. It really highlighted just how tip-top and excellent the grounds staff are when it comes to maintaining their pitches and training grounds.

The roles of groundspeople within the RFU are far-reaching and span both professional and volunteer levels. These experts play a vital role across the RFU, from professional staff at Allianz Stadium, such as the Head Groundsman, to Regional Pitch Advisors who support clubs through the Pitch Advisory Service. At the community level, volunteers help to maintain pitches.

The multi-year partnership with the RFU reflects STIGA’s commitment to easing the load on volunteers and professional grounds teams in pitch maintenance, while ensuring world-class playing surfaces for players at every level. As part of the agreement, STIGA will support the maintenance of pitches and green spaces across the country, from elite England Rugby training facilities to grassroots clubs, by providing access to its cutting-edge autonomous mower technology and professional battery-powered tools.

Designed to deliver outstanding results with minimal effort, STIGA’s intelligent, wireless mowing systems help optimise turf care, reduce workload, and ensure consistently high-quality playing surfaces across the game.

James Gordon, Managing Director of STIGA UK, said:

“As Official Groundskeeping Partner of the RFU, it was very important for STIGA to bring our professional mowers and specialist rugby ground equipment to Allianz Stadium for the grounds team to try first-hand. 2026 will be a superb year for showcasing the quality and innovation of STIGA products, while also supporting clubs as we continue to help elevate standards across the sport.”

Jim Buttar, Head of Grounds and Technical Operations for the RFU, added:

“This has been a superb opportunity to see which STIGA lawn care products will be of greatest value, not only to us at Allianz Stadium but to grassroots clubs across the RFU. We are really looking forward to this partnership, which will allow clubs to excel both on the pitch and in the care of their grounds.”

STIGA will support both the England senior men’s and women’s teams, alongside grassroots rugby clubs across the country. With more than 90 years of garden care expertise, STIGA combines advanced technology with sustainable innovation to deliver professional-level performance on every surface.
