Stop by BAGMA at SALTEX: The British Agricultural Garden Machinery Association (BAGMA) are pleased to be returning to SALTEX to discuss industry issues, training and the other many benefits of BAGMA membership.

Following a year of rapid growth within the association, stand M102 will be the place to discover more about the new additions – including the revolutionary new paperless solution to machinery handover and installation.

Stop by BAGMA at SALTEX

BAGMA proudly offers a portfolio of approved service providers, to deliver improved access to a full range of services at exclusive and competitive prices for its members. Within the last 12 months, Fog Bandit Security Systems and the Renticy revenue platform have joined an extensive list of partners which includes finance solutions, utility services and currency payments.

Of particular interest is a new partnership between BAGMA and Culverdocs, who together have launched a new app to tackle the industry-wide issue of triplicate forms. Offering a new ‘Paperless Solution’, users can benefit from digitised forms for Handover and Installation and other administrative functions. Launched in early September, dealers around the country are already discovering the vast improvement in efficiency when delivering machines, hiring on and more.

Members and non-members can find out more or organise a demo with the Culverdocs team by stopping by the stand later this month.

Together with efficiencies and savings, BAGMA is also continuing its work to fight for better terms and conditions for dealers as well as providing support to the wider agricultural, groundcare and garden machinery industry in the form of advice and training. With one combined voice, the association and sector are stronger.

As a special incentive for SALTEX visitors, those interested in joining BAGMA can benefit from an exclusive joining offer which allows members to receive 15 months for the price of 12 – applies to new or lapsed members on their first year of membership. More information is available by speaking to the BAGMA team on stand M102.

Technology leads Surbiton’s new Toro fleet

October 11, 2024/in News, Press Release/by Admin

Technology leads Surbiton’s new Toro fleet: In its latest Toro fleet deal with Reesink Turfcare, Surbiton Golf Club has invested for the first time in environmentally friendly technology with two Greensmaster 3360 hybrid mowers and accessed the industry’s newest spraying technology with the GeoLink system.

Course Manager Andrew Kerr says the reasons for these choices are progressive as well as practical: “We’ve been evolving and adapting to golf technology and the needs of golfers since we began, and this is the next step. We’ve noticed in recent years that members use Surbiton as a destination location, to enjoy the environment it provides, not just for playing golf.

“With reduced emissions and lower operating noise these mowers contribute to creating a better and more relaxed place to be. And for the same reasons, are pleasing to the residents around us.” The benefits don’t stop there though, Andrew is also noticing a significant reduction in fuel consumption too.

Based on the outskirts of Southwest London, Surbiton Golf Club is one of the first clubs to take advantage of the latest GeoLink spray system, further helping with club efficiencies.

“The level of accuracy it provides you just wouldn’t be able to achieve manually no matter how good or experienced the operator,” he says. “It’s reducing how much product we use and lowering our costs because we’re only using what we need to, there’s no wastage. We don’t have square greens or fairways here and that had made spraying tricky but now we cover every inch with no over or under spraying.”

Andrew has noticed a big difference in the presentation and quality of the grass since using the GeoLink: “We don’t overdose and the grass is as plump as possible, which members love. They perceive the general standard of the course to be improved as a result.”

Also included in the order are two Groundsmaster 3500-D with Sidewinders, seven Greensmaster 1021 pedestrian mowers, two Reelmaster 3575-D fairway mowers and a Groundsmaster 4700-D rough mower in what is the club’s second Toro fleet deal.

“We got our last fleet about six years ago and we would usually replace it after five years, but we’ve been waiting for the machines to be available,” explains Andrew. “What we’ve noticed in the interim is that with the quality and longevity of Toro and the support of Reesink this hasn’t been a problem. We’ve had a Reesink technician come onsite for a day every two weeks and that’s kept maintenance and machinery performance up to standard.”

Andrew and his team of nine have found all the machines involved in the order deliver to their specific presentation requirements: “Our members love striped greens and complexes and having the combination of the cylinders and Sidewinders makes delivering eye catching stripes easy.”
