New Holland to showcase compact tractors at this year’s Saltex event

New Holland will be showcasing its expertise in ground care, sports, amenities, estates, and green space management machinery at this year’s Saltex event. The Company will profile its compact Boomer^TMtractor models, displaying the Boomer 25 ROPS with mid-mounted mower deck and Boomer 40 CAB with front-linkage, on stand at the two-day event held at the Birmingham NEC on 1^st and 2^nd November.

Boomer Tractors

The New Holland compact Boomer tractor range offers five models with power outputs ranging from 23 to 47 hp delivered by quiet, fuel-efficient three and four-cylinder engines. These compact but powerful tractors are responsive, efficient, comfortable, and built to make your job easier. All models across the range have unique features that keep you comfortable while saving you time and money.

Boomer tractors are well suited to a variety of tasks, from installation and maintenance of turf, to landscaping and hardscaping. It’s the ideal tractor for small landowners, municipalities, and contractors providing ground maintenance.

All Boomer models have powerful electro-hydraulically engaged rear, and optional mid, PTOs capable of lifting up to 1250 kg, allowing for the use of a wide range of powered implements.

The controls are well positioned, and colour-coded, whilst the seat and steering wheel are easily adjustable to suit different operators.

Beyond the Boomer range, New Holland offers larger amenities-adaptable tractors with higher horsepower and more lift capacity in the T4 and T5 ranges.

T4 Range

When it comes to more demanding tasks, the T4 range of tractors has been designed to further enhance your ground care and maintenance operations. With a whole host of deluxe options and powerful engines offering from 84 to 114 hp, the T4 is ideal for those who require high quality workhorses.

New Holland, has designed the T4 with the operator in mind, and now offers an even wider choice of transmissions. Every task has different requirements, and New Holland offers tried and tested solutions to improve your efficiency.

New Holland has anticipated the need for high levels of efficiency combined with operational flexibility. The T4 is fully compatible with New Holland’s AP and L series range of front loaders, and you no longer have to choose between the front loader and front linkage, with the T4 you can have both.

With optional turf tyres, the T4 is suitable for many amenity, landscaping and grounds maintenance tasks.

T5 Range

For those wanting competitive pricing without compromising on horsepower, New Holland offers the T5 Utility models, which provide between 75 and 114 hp. All five models in the range can include the manufacturer’s 24×24 Dual Command transmission and can be specified with turf tyres.

Loader-ready, the T5 provides lift capacity of up to 2,539 kg and a lifting height of up to 3.7 m. Optional front linkage offers maximum versatility when using implements and the Heavy Duty front axel, available on the T5.95, 105 and 115, has a greater load carrying capacity. The T5 range also boasts an impressive 4,400 kg rear lift capacity with a second assist ram, for maximum versatility.

Makita UK Supports Operation Airlift Caribbean

October 20, 2017/in Industry News, Press Release/by Katrina Wallace

This, one of the most powerful and catastrophic Atlantic Ocean hurricanes recorded, has claimed many lives, destroyed homes, schools and hospitals, and has accounted for mass evacuation in the face of life threatening wind impact. Just days later, Hurricane Maria followed the same path of destruction. Flying initially to Barbados, then directly on to mountainous Dominica, 90% destroyed, the DART team began a two-week mission to aid the relief campaign so urgently needed, with a second team following a fortnight later.

“Getting to the scene promptly is essential to assist with the clearing of fallen trees on roads and the repair of other vital infrastructure. This is an immediate priority which allows rescue organisations and aid agencies to operate more safely and effectively,” says Jenny Long, a volunteer and wife of a DART member.

“Local community leaders and volunteers really value the service our teams deliver, but more importantly they’ve demonstrated an appetite for learning the skills themselves. From previous deployments we learned that by delivering training and donating essential items such as chainsaws, timber milling equipment and personal protective equipment we could help rebuild livelihoods and make some of the most vulnerable communities in the world more resilient to future disasters. The situation in the Caribbean is exactly what we are trained to deal with.”

DART responders are all professionally qualified and experienced arborists who also bring a wealth of additional skills. Volunteers include paramedics, trainers, engineers and former military personnel offering skills that are very relevant to the complex challenges of helping communities to recover from a natural disaster.

Makita UK, a main sponsor of the charity, says: “DART personnel are fully equipped with Makita chainsaws that are robust enough to cope with the challenges they have to face during these critical times and wherever they are assisting in the world.”

Before DART return to the UK they will carry out a 4-day programme of chainsaw and clearance training for 18 members of the Dominican Fire Department using equipment donated by sponsors Makita UK and PPE by Fletcher Stewart Stein. Makita UK has agreed to DART’s request to donate the chainsaws to the local community when they leave Dominica.

During this training the fire fighters have experienced the assembly of saws, fuel mixing, safety features, work positioning, risk assessment, basic cross cutting, tension and compression, manual handling and first aid for arborists.

BBC’s The One Show, who sent a production crew to travel to Dominica with the second DART deployment, will be airing a series of reports featuring the charity’s work on the island during next week’s programmes.
