GreenBest Launches the SmartLawn ProCast 20 Rotary Spreader

GreenBest has announced the launch of the SmartLawn ProCast 20, the company’s first pedestrian rotary spreader developed specifically for professional lawn care operators.

GreenBest Launches the SmartLawn ProCast 20 Rotary Spreader

Designed for the accurate and efficient application of granular fertilisers, seed, and other granular products, the ProCast 20 expands the SmartLawn range beyond fertilisers and seed, providing contractors with a professional-grade spreader built for day-to-day commercial use.

The SmartLawn ProCast 20 features a 20 kg hopper capacity, precision flow control system, directional spread control, and a heavy-duty chassis designed to withstand regular transport and operation. The spreader has been developed to help operators improve application consistency, reduce product waste, and increase efficiency on larger jobs.

To support customers from day one, GreenBest has also worked closely with the manufacturer to provide full-rate and half-rate spreader settings for all SmartLawn granular fertilisers. These settings are available on product labels, within the SmartLawn product guide, and online via the SmartLawn Spreader Settings page.

Early feedback from customers has also highlighted the spreader’s ease of use, build quality, and value for money.

“From using the spreader, it offers great value for money. It has numerous adjustments, even a side-only option. The construction seems durable, and it takes a good amount of material. The adjustment allows good spread of grass seed too. The push height is good even for me being 6’2. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a reliable machine which is easy to set up.” — Adam Martin, Adam Martin Gardens

Commenting on the launch, James Whittick, Commercial Manager at GreenBest said:

“The SmartLawn ProCast 20 has been developed with professional lawn care operators in mind. Accuracy and consistency are critical when applying granular products, and this spreader gives users greater control while maintaining efficiency across a range of applications.”

The ProCast 20 requires minimal assembly and includes a full user manual, with replacement parts available through the GreenBest sales office.

The launch follows continued expansion of the SmartLawn range, including the introduction of SmartLawn FreshStart Lawn Seed and a hand-held fertiliser spreader in 2025.

Mansfield Sand at the heart of Teeton’s arena

Mansfield Sand at the heart of Teeton’s arena

For International show jumping trainer Dan Delsart, the quality of the surface beneath his horses isn’t just a detail – it’s a foundation.

Mansfield Sand at the heart of Teeton’s arena

Based in North Northamptonshire, Dan has created a bespoke arena at Teeton Valley Stables using carefully selected materials from Mansfield Sand, helping him deliver a surface that prioritises both performance and horse welfare.

Dan has spent nearly 20 years building his career in the UK after originally coming over from France to train and develop his skills. Today, his arena reflects both his European experience and his commitment to creating a surface as close to natural grass as possible.

“We built the facilities ourselves and we built the arena,” Dan explains. “I wanted to recreate as natural a surface as we could.”

Having competed and trained across France, Belgium, Holland, Spain and the UK, Dan had seen a wide variety of surfaces and knew exactly what he wanted when it came to his own.

“I wanted a good sand which drains, and a sand which can hold a bit of moisture, so it doesn’t dry too quickly and go dusty,” he says. “And with adding up some quality fibres we were able to recreate a bit of a root like grass.”

That approach led him to work with Mansfield Sand, combining their materials with fibres from Combi-Ride to create a hybrid surface designed for performance and durability.

The result is a surface that balances freedom of movement with support, helping reduce the risk of injury while maintaining consistent rideability.

Since the arena was completed in August 2022, Dan has been impressed by how well it performs under daily use.

“We have a lot of horses here; about 15 to 20 a day,” he says. “Some days we might not pass the leveller for two or three days because the arena still looks really good.”

Maintenance still plays a key role, but the surface’s consistency makes day-to-day management straightforward.

“You’ve got to read the arena,” Dan adds. “If a jump starts to feel a bit loose, just pass the tractor over it, give it a bit of water if you need to. It’s just maintenance and looking after your horses in the long term.”

That long-term focus is exactly what makes the surface so important to Dan. For him, it’s about protecting horses and supporting natural biomechanics.

“The arena is so good, the surface is so natural under the horse’s hoof,” he explains. “That’s really important; to not have that impact and blockage of movement when the horses land.”

His confidence in the system has already led to recommendations across his network, from fellow professionals to veterinary practices.

“I’ve recommended it to so many people,” Dan says. “Even vets have come here and said how good the surface is.”

With the combination of Mansfield Sand’s high-quality materials and Combi-Ride’s expertise, Dan believes he’s found the ideal solution; one that supports both performance and welfare.

“If I had to build another 20 arenas, I’d do exactly the same,” he adds.
