New Müthing Mulcher

April 20, 2018/in Machinery, Press Release/by Neil Hancock

New Müthing Mulcher: Available from May 2018, Muthing say their new MU-Collect Vario mulcher offers professional grass cutting and mulching technology for landscaping applications. Simon Richard, UK Agent for the Muthing range, says “The new MU-Collect Vario gives you both possibilities; an optimal mulching result and perfectly tidy surfaces. It is available in working widths of 1.4 and 1.6 m for mechanical driving powers of 20 to 40 hp, and hydraulically driven with 30 to 70 l/min. The M-Vario is able to achieve the best possible mulch quality and shredding performance, while also increasing the load capacity for the carrier vehicle, thanks to an optimised intake and housing form and the ability to steplessly adjust the shredding rates at the cutting bar”

The optimal accessibility of the MU-Collect Vario allows the user to quickly change the implement between the collecting and the mulching functions. A feeder auger brings the mulch material together to ensure reliable operation even under high throughput levels. The special delivery chute prevents blockages due to material backup or full containers. The mulch material can be ejected or drawn in either centrally or on the right (viewed in the direction of travel) depending on the particular vehicle being used. This allows the implement to be mounted just as easily on large mowers as on compact tractors. Various mounting consoles for support arms as well as a coupling triangle in Cat. 0 and 1 are available.

The MU-ollect Vario mulcher is equipped as standard with a full-length wear insert, durable Hardox wear runners and the tried-and-tested carbide M-shackle flails. Scarifying blades are also available for the implement. These cut up and aerate the matted layer in the root crown area to improve the soil structure in the long term. An optionally available operating hours counter and screw-in wear parts round off the product.

Bayer’s New Total Herbicide

April 20, 2018/in News, Press Release/by Georgia Frogley

Pistol^® Flex brings a new active ingredient, to the market for broad spectrum control over a wide range of uses including treatments applied to open soil, gravel surfaces, fence lines, industrial areas and railway ballast.

Greg Collins, of the Bayer Turf Solutions Team, explains that the herbicide’s dual active formulation contains 360g/kg diflufenican and 10g/kg iodosulfuron-methyl-sodium.

“This gives a two-pronged approach to weed control, targeting germinating seedlings through residual action, and the leaves on contact.

“The product provides excellent control for even the hardest to tackle weeds and is also compatible for use under a variety of tree and shrub species.”

Resistance management

Greg adds that using Pistol^® Flex can help amenity contractors to minimise resistance as part of an integrated vegetation management (IVM) programme.

“The combined active ingredients give a dual mode of action and therefore reduce the chance of resistance occurring.

Flexible applications

“The herbicide can be used flexibly, as a standalone application on bare ground for pre-emergence stages. Alternatively, after the two leaf post emergence stage it can be mixed with glyphosate to enhance performance.

“And due to this robust performance in different environments, the product offers good residual control for three to four months, which may save the operator returning for repeated applications,” says Greg.

Pistol^® Flex is available to purchase from Unichem and Sprayclear Environmental and is supplied in convenient 10g sachets to easily add into a knapsack or 500g packs for those that need to treat a larger area.
