ECHO® ASK-RW23D Scissor Head – A Safer Cut

April 24, 2017/in Press Release/by Admin

The new ECHO® ASK-RW23D scissor head, a rotary scissor attachment suitable for most ECHO® brushcutters, helps to reduce this risk. It works on the principle of a 20:1 reduction ratio gearbox and two contra-rotating blades that actually ‘snip’ the grass or brush – just like a pair of scissors. This means you have safer and more precise cutting. Grass, weeds or brush simply drops where it is cut, making the ASK-RW23D an ideal choice to use when required to work near people, office windows or parked cars.

Highly versatile, the ASK-RW23D scissor head can trim up close to solid obstacles, such as trees, walls and kerbs without kickback or damage. Edging golf course bunkers and trimming grass in shallow water are easily tackled. The flat bottom design enables the operator to place the cutting head close to the ground when uncovering hidden landmarks, such as drain covers.

The ASK-RW23D rotary scissor head comes with an 18 over 15 tooth blade kit, and an optional 28 over 24 tooth fine cut blade kit is also available for getting an even finer finish on grass and lawn edges. The cutting head is well-balanced, making it easy to manoeuvre and comfortable to use. The ASK-RW23D scissor head mirrors ECHO®’s commitment to quality, providing their customers with commercial grade and innovative products. Visit www.echo-tools.co.uk to find your local ECHO® dealer.

CSA Concludes Groundsmen’s Conference

East London – The annual Cricket South Africa (CSA) Groundsmen’s Conference concluded in East London on Friday after a comprehensive overview of the state of playing fields in the country.

The April 18 to 21 event covered everything from pitches to the equipment used in preparing them.

There was also input from coaches, captains, media and the CSA events department as all areas associated with groundsmen were covered.

CSA General Manager: Cricket, Corrie van Zyl, hailed the four-day programme as a huge success.

“It is a fundamental part of cricket development and excellence that all our potential players, at whatever level, have access to the best possible facilities,” he said.

“Batsmen and bowlers need pitches with good carry and bounce if they are to develop their talents successfully and the fielders need outfields they can trust.

“This is true at every level of the game as there is nothing better than a good playing surface to build the confidence and enthusiasm of a youngster.”

Some of the other key highlights discussed at the conference included outfields at the various venues, stadium capacities, fertilizer used on pitches and surfaces, drainage systems and the fixtures.
