Makita adds to formidable XGT range: Leading power tools manufacturer Makita has added two new impressive disc cutters to its range.

The 40VMax CE003G XGT Disc Cutter and 40VMax CE004G XGT Disc Cutter are both powered by Makita’s advanced XGT 40VMax battery system to deliver massive cutting depths and rapid cutting speeds to make light work of any high-demand application.

Makita adds to formidable XGT range

The CE003G delivers a maximum cutting depth of 88mm at 6,600rpm and the CE004G offers a maximum cutting depth of 121mm at 5,000rpm. With a 230mm and 305mm blade diameter respectively, and both designed to be extremely lightweight, these brand new compact XGT disc cutters offer a powerful package to tackle any application with ease and comfort.

The machines also feature a rotating wheel guard which can be positioned to suit working posture. This, paired with a light body weight (The CE003G body weighing just 7.4kg when fitted with a BL4080F 8.0Ah battery and the CE004G at 7.7kg when fitted with a BL4080F 8.0Ah battery) and a double handle design, makes both models comfortable and easy to manoeuvre. Furthermore, the anti-vibration housing with built-in damper spring helps to achieve an extremely low vibration rate for each at 3.0 m/s² (CE003G) and 3.8 m/s² (CE004G) at the left handle – far less than their petrol-powered counterparts.

Furthermore, unlike petrol engine models, these cordless solutions start reliably, even in oxygen-deficient conditions, without any emissions or exhaust gases, making them suitable for use in any location – including indoors and underground.

To improve user safety, the machines feature active feedback sensors to shut down the tool in the event of kickback or a sudden slowing down of the blade rotation. They also have a safety lock-off button to prevent accidental start up and operators can also choose to connect a water supply to aid dust suppression.

Kevin Brannigan, Marketing Manager at Makita UK said: “The new additions from Makita are set to revolutionise cutting work on site. Both are powerful, yet easy to handle and designed with excellent safety features, to provide high speed, precise cutting suitable for a wide range of applications.”

ISEKI to provide comprehensive showcase at SALTEX

ISEKI to provide comprehensive showcase at SALTEX: Iseki UK & Ireland will showcase its comprehensive range of compact tractors, mowers, and electric vehicles across three areas at SALTEX 2024, as the company continues to provide the turf industry with tailored machinery for every application.

Iseki’s Industry Leading Compact Machinery

Stand D050 will feature the Iseki range of ride-on mowers and compact tractors, including the new TM 4270 Cab and TM 4230 ROPS models. These models were first previewed at SALTEX 2023 and have been highly popular across various industry sectors, having built on the TM range’s lightweight and high manoeuvrability.

The 25hp TM 4270, which will be equipped with a snow plough and salt spreader on the stand to showcase its all-weather capabilities, is perfect for grounds care, sports turf, artificial turf, and winter work.

The new factory-built cabin is the most spacious in its class and comes with air conditioning, heating, a heated rear window, and front and rear LED work lights for maximised year-round operator comfort and safety.

Features on the latest additions to the range also include 21hp and 25hp Iseki diesel engines, which are stage V compliant and will run on HVO fuel too, as well as rear PTO 540/750 rpm for HST models and 540 rpm mechanical, and the three range Hydrostatic transmission or F9/ R9 mechanical transmission.

Joining the duo of tractors is the TG 6507 IQ Cab with Iseki/MX C4 loader, while the SF 544 1300 litre out-front collecting mower with 60” deck and SXG3 range with cut and drop options and high-tip collector will also be on the stand.

Electric Options for Every Sector

Meeting Iseki’s promise to provide the best option for every application, Stand D041 will feature the 100% electric Addax MT15 fully customisable commercial utility vehicle. With zero emissions, the Addax MT15 supports environmental goals set by clubs, councils and universities by reducing air pollution. It offers versatile configurations, including a flatbed, tipper, combo tipper, or cargo box, with a payload capacity of up to 1000 kg. These options make it suitable for tasks ranging from carrying tools and maintenance equipment to transporting parcels and managing waste. The combo tipper includes a lockable toolbox for added security, while the cargo box features hinged, lockable rear doors and a side-mounted roller shutter for easy access.

The vehicle is fully N1 road homologated with a top speed of up to 44 mph and a range of up to 82 miles WLTP (depending upon model), making it efficient for travel between sites located within low emissions zones. Continuing the electric theme is the radio controlled Raymo mower with R14 SFINX post trimmer. Equipped with a 104cm rear discharge full floating deck, the fully electric mower has outstanding climbing ability and cuts on undulating and sloped terrain with ease using a zero-turn steering system and 4WD.

Its attributes make it perfect for commercial mowing in parks, industrial estates and other areas, while low running costs and easy operation make it an efficient addition to any company.

Bringing Quality to Grassroots Sport

Iseki has a long history of working with grassroots clubs in football and rugby, making SALTEX’s Community Sports Zone the perfect place to exhibit the TXG S24 sub-compact and TLE 3410 compact tractor.

The 23hp HST and 40hp HST machines will be fitted with implements perfect for grassroots sport and will demonstrate the various benefits of a quality compact tractor. More information on all ISEKI products can be found on www.Iseki.co.uk.

Iseki staff will be across all three areas to provide advice and answer any questions throughout both days of the exhibition.
