Iseki TG Series of Medium Range Tractors

November 11, 2016/in Machinery, Press Release/by Admin

The new TG6 series, which replaces the TG5, features a range of four compact tractors – the TG6370 IQ, TG6400 HST, TG6490 IQ, TG6490 HST, TG6620 HST and TG6670 HST.

The TG6370 IQ and TG6400 HST are powered by Iseki three-cylinder, liquid-cooled diesel engines operating at 2600rpm and developing 36 and 39 PS net respectively. Both TG6490 variants feature a four-cylinder Iseki engine developing 48 PS net, and, like all Iseki diesel engines, these power plants have been designed to provide high output with reduced emissions. The TG6620 HST and TG6670 HST are both powered by a turbo-charged four-cylinder water-cooled diesel engine producing 61 PS and 66 PS net at 2,600rpm respectively.

A new ergonomic design with a smoother profile hood provides better accessibility to the engine compartment, and a new cab design offers more space, more headroom, wider opening doors and air conditioning on all models. ROPS is also available on all models.

The TG6370 IQ, TG6400 HST and TG6490 IQ are all available with cabs and ROPS, while the TG6490 HST, TG6620 HST and TG6670 HST are only available with cabs, but come with a two-stage, six-speed hydrostatic transmission.

The TG6370 and TG6490 IQ transmission models have three ranges, each with eight forward/reverse gears and feature the new dual-clutch gearbox for fast and smooth gear changes, plus an automatic mode which utilises the top five gears, which change automatically, especially useful when towing, mowing or when on the public highway.

The contoured nose provides a clear view to the front of the machine; modern combination switches and controls have been employed and there’s a high-quality, soft feel steering wheel, hydrostatic power steering and smooth two-mode adjustable PTO engagement. The main controls are located in a console on the right-hand side of the operator platform and a “feather touch” shuttle lever controlling forward/backward travel is located on the steering column.

Lifting capacity starts with an impressive 1,270 Kg (at ball ends) for the TG6400, 1400 Kg on the TG6370 IQ and rising to a hefty 1,700 Kg on the TG6490 IQ. Optional mid-mounted side discharge rotary cutting decks are available with 1.83 metre (72”) cutting widths.

John Quinton, U.K. and Ireland Sales Manager at Ransomes, said:
“The ever-growing range of Iseki TG tractors is fantastic for end users who require a high-quality piece of machinery which is simple and effective to use. Iseki has been successfully manufacturing mowers and tractors in Japan for 90 years and this is evident when you experience the product. The TG6 series is already proving to be a very popular choice amongst grounds care professionals and we are very excited to be distributing these products.”

The TG6 series is very competitively priced for landscape and professional grounds care contractors as well as greenkeepers and groundsmen.

Britain Guaranteed Representation at World Cup Final 2018

November 11, 2016/in Events, Press Release/by Admin

Britain will be guaranteed representation at the World Cup Final in 2018 no matter what the result between England and Scotland on Friday night.

Luzhniki Stadium’s pitch in Moscow has been laid by British company SIS Pitches using the revolutionary SISGrass and was completed for handover earlier this month.

The brand new SISGrass hybrid surface will make the Luzhniki Stadium the most technologically advanced pitch in World Cup final history.

The laser-guided installation took just eight days to complete and boasts 95% natural turf alongside the 5% specially designed PE yarn.

The 2018 World Cup will be the first to have a SISGrass natural turf reinforced pitch and SISAir technology.
SISGrass is an advanced reinforced turf system featuring patented fibre injections, which offers increased pitch stability and delivers considerably more playing hours than natural grass surfaces.
SIS Pitches CEO and owner George Mullan said: “It’s the first time a World Cup final has been played on anything but all-natural grass and we are honoured to have been chosen to install it. We have come so far to get this system to the pinnacle of world sport.
“The quality of SISGrass will ensure that the pitches are resilient in all conditions, and I am sure the 2018 World Cup Final is one that we all remember.”

SISAir is a revolutionary system that proactively manages soil moisture and removes excess water from the soil via a network of under pitch pipes that can blow hot or cold air depending on the climate requirements.
The SISAir system helps to optimise the root zone’s growing conditions and assists the promotion of healthier turf.
On SISAir, SIS Eastern European Managing Director Ilyas Kobal explained, “SISAir, through our specialised piping infrastructure, ensures the root zone is in excellent condition, in particular in challenging climates such as in Russia.

“We are confident that the pitches constructed by SIS Pitches for the World Cup in 2018 will exceed the expectations of both the players and officials and SISGrass could be vitally important in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.” said Kobal.

SIS Pitches has many years experience in delivering natural turf pitches and synthetic turf pitches to some of the greatest names in sport as well as to schools, colleges, universities, sports clubs and local authorities. SIS Pitches has offices in the UK, Ireland, Russia, Turkey, Holland, Middle East and Angola.
As well as the work at the Luzhniki Stadium, SIS Pitches has also been hard at work elsewhere in Russia in recent times. The global pitch-specialists have also completed work at the homes of FC Krasnodar and Spartak Moscow.
