Take the Polaris Sportsman ATV and give it Active Descent Control (ADC) coupled with the option of carrying two people and you have the new Polaris Sportsman X2 570, on display at Lamma.

This is a serious contender for anyone wanting a highly versatile working vehicle for steep hill work, while having the facility to configure the rear dump box for a second seat. Powered by a 567cc, fuel injected engine, the Sportsman has all the power you need to take two people up the steepest inclines and bring you safely back down, with the Engine Braking System and ADC automatically engaging on all four wheels for optimum traction and control in all conditions. If you want the utility and capabilities of a traditional farm pick-up with the agility of a quad the Sportsman is just that, with Electronic Power Steering and the refinement of the world’s best-selling ATV’s legendary attributes. Independent Rear Suspension, with 24.1 cm of rear travel, On-Demand True All-Wheel Drive, a massive 556kg of towing capacity and the dump box with its tipping facility for quick unloading make it an easy choice.

A work partner is only as good as his reliability and the Polaris Sportsman X2 570 is equipped with sealed ball joints which can be greased, sealed driveshaft splines and sealed suspension bushes. This not only provides increased durability in harsh conditions it also offers easier ongoing maintenance. Tough, durable, carries two people and heavy loads and deals easily with steep slopes, this Sportsman is surely the ideal all-round farm ATV.
The Polaris Sportsman X2 570 is being offered in Sage Green and will be available from early 2017.

Also displayed at the show will be the new Polaris Ranger Diesel, which is scheduled to become available towards the end of March 2017, and the display at Lamma provides the opportunity to see the features and updates to this popular three-seater Side by Side.

Improved amenity offer and bio-diversity among benefits of 8,000-strong woodland tree-planting plan

January 16, 2017/in Press Release/by Admin

Sheffield City Council and Trees for Cities will plant around 8,000 trees around the city over the next few weeks.
Some 7,500 native woodland trees, mainly whips, will be planted at three parks in the south-east of the city, while hundreds more, including semi-mature standards, will be planted at other sites.

Different planting events will take place at the three park sites, involving members of the local community and children from neighbouring schools, while Lord Mayor of Sheffield, Councillor Denise Fox, will joing the planting at Fox Lane Recreation Ground.

The council’s cabinet member for culture, sport and leisure, Councillor Mary Lea, said: “This is especially important at a time when we are increasingly cementing our reputation as the UK’s Outdoor City and demonstrating that Sheffield is a city where people can come to walk, jog, ride their bikes and enjoy family days out in an array of fabulous green spaces.”

Its community forestry manager Tim Shortland added: “Sheffield’s existing woodlands are renowned nationally, but many are in decline and despite being of great value to people and wildlife alike will not last forever.

“These new woodlands will maintain the cities woodland legacy, increase biodiversity, clean the air and create new amenity opportunities. They will create the next generation of woodlands for future generations of Sheffielders to enjoy.”

Trees for Cities chief executive David Elliott said: “These projects will bring diversity to the landscape, enhance the wildlife and give residents opportunities to connect with nature. They will be an invaluable asset to the health and wellbeing of the local communities.”

* Elsewhere in the city, Sheffield City Council has come under fire for its street tree removal programme.

Interviewed by presenter and veteran DJ Andy Kershaw while inspecting felled and soon-to-be-felled trees in the city BBC’s One Show, arboriculture consultant Jeremy Barrell said: “From a health and safety point of view they are fine – none of them need to come out.

Defending the policy, the council’s Cabinet Member for Environment councillor Bryan Lodge said the trees “are causing damage to pavements and highways including those on Rustlings Road” – the site of a controversial night-time felling operation in November.
