STIGA Robots Are Winning Hands Down: STIGA’s robot mowers are proving so talented that the team is beginning to wonder if there’s anything they can’t groom to perfection. Their newest prodigy has now joined Great Yarmouth Racecourse, where it received a name worthy of a champion.

Meet SHADOW OF LIGHT (Shadow), named after the star racehorse who first tasted victory here before galloping off to become Europe’s top two-year-old in 2024. No pressure, little robot!

Richard Aldous, Clerk of the Course, Gt Yarmouth & Regional Clerk (East) shared: “We find Shadow so useful, he keeps the height of cut regulated in all weathers and at all times of the year. This robot cuts our parade ring daily and five other lawns 3 days a week, but is out every day working somewhere. The saving of staff hours allows them to do other important jobs. The presentation of our site is very important to us as a business, and especially being part of ARENA RACING COMPANY.”

With racing events dating back to 1715, Great Yarmouth boasts more than 300 years of proud horseracing history. The racecourse, which was moved from South Yarmouth to its current location in the 1920s, now stages a vibrant summer season of 24 flat race meetings, drawing top jockeys and spotlighting promising two-year-old horses, some of which progress to win major international races in places such as the USA and Brazil.

Richard continued, “We love the mower, it saves staff time, keeps our lawns in good order all year round and surprisingly, I find people standing watching it, saying they find it therapeutic!”

Now that’s what the STIGA team loves to hear: a mower that cuts grass and delivers a little slice of Zen! Hooray for Shadow of Light!”

STIHL unveils WSA 40 battery-powered water supply unit: STIHL has introduced the WSA 40, a compact battery-powered pressurised water container engineered to provide a reliable, hassle-free water feed for cut-off machines. By removing the need for manual pumping, the WSA 40 helps professionals work faster and with less effort on site.

Part of the STIHL AS System and operating at a consistent pressure of 1.5 to 2.5 bars, the unit ensures a steady water flow to support dust suppression and cooling during cutting. With one AS battery, the WSA 40 can deliver water continuously for up to 30 minutes or the equivalent of seven full tanks, giving operators excellent runtime for day-to-day tasks. With a 10-litre capacity, it is designed to handle demanding applications with ease.

The system has been designed with practicality front of mind. Automatic shut-off conserves energy and extends battery service life by stopping operation when the tank runs empty or the container is no longer in use. A transparent fill-level indicator, variable pressure control and clear battery status display further support easy and efficient operation.

At just over 3kg, the container is lightweight to carry and simple to manoeuvre around site. Supplied with a four-metre hose and standard coupling, the WSA 40 provides the reach needed to cover larger working areas without repeatedly relocating the unit, enhancing convenience on the job.
