STIHL to showcase new machines at SALTEX: STIHL will present a range of new products at this year’s SALTEX, Europe’s premier grounds management show, between 30th – 31st October 2024. 

Taking place at the NEC, Birmingham, they will be showcasing brand new battery-powered tools in the AP System range, including the BGA 250, STIHL’s most powerful handheld leaf blower, the KMA 200 R, STIHL’s most powerful KombiMotor, the TSA 300, STIHL’s first battery-powered 12” cut-off machine and the SHA 140, STIHL’s first battery-powered vacuum shredder designed for professionals.

The BGA 250 is the latest battery-powered leaf blower from STIHL. Weighing only 2.7kg, this leaf blower is lighter than the BGA 86 and boasts a significantly higher blowing force of 26 Newtons. This makes it the most powerful handheld leaf blower from STIHL, with the same blowing force on the maximum setting as the BR 430 petrol backpack blower. Due to the location of the battery on the BGA 250, it has great balance and the variable speed trigger makes it perfect for leaf clearing jobs that require high power. Thanks to constant power output technology, the blowing performance remains consistent throughout use and does not decrease as the battery discharges. Whether you use it at 100% charge or 20%, you’ll get full power until the battery has completely run out of energy.

Also on show at SALTEX is the KMA 200 R, the latest KombiMotor offering from STIHL which has a higher power output than the KM 131 petrol KombiEngine. This new addition to the AP System offers professional landscapers unrivalled performance and versatility. What’s more, the KMA 200 R can be used with a wide-range of KombiTools for taking on landscaping tasks, including brushcutter, pole pruner, sweeper brush, leaf blower, lawn edging and hedge trimmer attachments.

After many years of development, STIHL is excited to present its latest professional tool for hardscaping, construction and pipework, the TSA 300 12” cut-off machine. This model has been developed with precision in mind and features a variable speed control for achieving a significantly narrower cutting kerf in comparison to its petrol equivalent, the TS 410. This results in greater efficiency and a more accurate cut. The TSA 300 rivals the TS 410 for power and has other benefits such as being lighter, more compact and having less vibrations.

Finally, STIHL will be presenting the SHA 140, its first battery-powered vacuum shredder in the AP System. Designed for professionals, this vacuum shredder is the most powerful in its lineup and has a robust build, as well as 15% more suction power than the petrol SH 86, making it ideal for the leaf clearing season ahead.

Visitors to the STIHL stand will get the chance to see these new tools up close, observe live demonstrations, and speak with STIHL experts for advice and guidance on all STIHL machines.

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.

Reesink and Toro combine at SALTEX: In celebration of 40 years working together, Toro distributor Reesink UK and The Toro Company have joined forces on stand at SALTEX for the first time to bring visitors to the show the biggest range of Toro groundscare machinery yet.

Alastair Rowell, Managing Director of Reesink UK, comments: “We wanted to do something special at SALTEX in recognition of our 40-year partnership. We’ve been providing the UK groundscare customers with Toro machinery options for decades and our stand will celebrate that. There will be 10 machines – our largest selection ever at a show; a range of Toro and Perrot irrigation solutions for the sports market, and – another first – an interactive racing game in conjunction with Mark Blundell’s racing team, MB Sports.”

Representing all that is new, innovative, productive, and versatile in the Toro range from Reesink Turfcare is the highly productive LT-F3000 triple flail mower; the latest model Toro Groundsmaster 7210, the zero-turn rotary mower that is rugged and durable enough to be called a Groundsmaster, and the Workman UTX utility vehicle which boasts 25 percent more cargo capacity than that of others in its class and a towing capacity of up to 2000lbs.

They are joined by two environmentally friendly versions of popular mowers. The Toro eProStripe removes fuel from the equation of guaranteeing a crisp stripe to turf and means sports turf professionals now have the solution to English Premier League guidance for noise generation.‪ Meanwhile, the Toro Groundsmaster e3200 battery-powered out-front mower with lithium-ion technology incorporates a smart battery management system for sustainable but productive mowing with zero emissions.From The Toro Company, there will be the Toro Revolution series Z Master and Grandstand and hand tools, the ProLine H600, and the 60V Flex Force Power System powered heavy-duty 53cm Proline and eTimeMaster walk-behind mowers.

Reesink Hydro-Scapes will be present with irrigation solutions from Toro. The new Tempus Decoder System, which will launch on stand, is the only decoder system that works in WiFi connection. There will also be a selection of the brand’s best-selling and most popular sprinklers all with turf cups. For many this will be the first opportunity to see Perrot, which is new to the Reesink range, and there will be a selection of sprinklers to suit all types of sports surfaces including football, golf, hockey, tennis, and even horse racetracks.

This year Toro has proudly sponsored the Mark Blundell Motorsport Racing Team with a Vista® lithium-ion powered shuttle vehicle from Reesink to travel the British Touring Car Championships circuits with Jake Hill and his team.

Toro and Reesink are always looking to support the sports sector and young emerging talent, and this was the perfect way to do so and mark the 40th year of working together. As such there will be two racing car simulators on stand giving visitors the opportunity to race any car at any racetrack in the world with coaches from MB Motorsport on hand giving guidance on achieving the best score and topping the leaderboard. The innovative Vista which serves as a crucial asset for transporting up to eight people will also be on display.

Whether you’re heading to the exhibition for the newest, most innovative groundscare and sports turf maintenance equipment, sustainable technology, or advice, Reesink and Toro has it all on stand K080.
