I could see how beneficial electric transport options were for the sector by then and I was eager for a challenge on a national level.

Redexim extend territory for George Browns Ltd: As part of a wider re-shuffle of their partner network, Redexim UK have announced an expansion of territory for George Browns Ltd. Having already added the IP postcode to their remit of the central and eastern regions in mid-2024, this has now been further consolidated with the incorporation of Essex and North London areas.

With depots in Buckinghamshire, Essex, Northamptonshire and Oxfordshire, the knowledgeable team are well placed to exceed the requirements of customers across central and Eastern England and service many of the industry’s leading franchises – including the full natural and artificial machinery portfolio from Redexim.

GXi8 HD for Prestwick GC

/in , , /by

GXi8 HD for Prestwick GC: Prestwick Golf Club, the birthplace of The Open Championship, is one of Scotland’s oldest and most famous courses.

A machinery replacement budget allows Course Manager, Dave Edmondson, an injection of capital, annually, to add and replace machines.

“We made provision for the club’s 14-year-old Wiedenmann Terra Spike XF6 to retire in 2023. However, it was still doing such a clean and efficient job that I knew it could easily finish a 15th year of service, so pencilled its replacement for December 2024, instead.

“At a demo mid-summer, it took only a few minutes to choose it would be followed by a GXi8 HD. After watching it take a run across the practice chipping green on 12 mm tines, leaving such little surface disruption, I didn’t need to see anything else. The elderly XF6 was traded in very favourably; a good bit of business, all round.”

Dave joined the South Ayrshire club during 2020, appointed to his post from The Island Golf Club in Donabate, County Dublin, and heads a team of eleven.

“Prestwick is a classic links site; there’s a lot of history here. We are very traditional in our management, low input, very little fertiliser, no pesticides, aiming always for minimum disturbance.

“I plan aeration to go once; usually the last week of January, conditions allowing. We’ll do greens, tees, aprons and sections of the fairways with 12 mm tines.

“I chose the GXi8 on the basis it brings a choice to go again, maybe once or twice across the season, on the greens with smaller 8 mm tines. I don’t want to disrupt golf, and this is the best machine to suit us.”

Stuart Cameron, Area Sales Manager at Fairways GM, Wiedenmann UK’s Scottish dealer and Wiedenmann’s, lead demonstrator, Andy Kerr, installed the machine for the Prestwick team.

JCB’s hydrogen engine approved for use

/in , /by

JCB’s hydrogen engine approved for use: JCB has cleared significant hurdles in its development of the world’s first hydrogen combustion engine after securing landmark rulings from licensing authorities allowing it to be used commercially in machines, the company announced today.

JCB is the first construction equipment company to develop a fully working combustion engine fuelled by hydrogen and a team of 150 engineers has been working on the exciting £100 million development for over three years.

Today JCB confirmed that 11 licensing authorities across Europe have now given permission for JCB’s hydrogen engine to be sold across Europe – with authorities in other countries set to follow suit with certification in 2025.

JCB Chairman Anthony Bamford, who has led the company’s hydrogen engine project, said: “This is a very significant moment for JCB. To start the New Year with certification in place in so many European countries bodes very well for the future of hydrogen combustion technology. JCB has proved in recent years that it is a proper zero emissions solution for construction and agricultural equipment.

“This formal type approval/certification paves the way for the sale and use of hydrogen engines right across the UK and Europe. I couldn’t have hoped for a better start to the year. Most of all, I am delighted for our team of British engineers who have worked tirelessly to reach this stage.”

JCB confirmed that the Netherlands’ Vehicle Authority RDW was the first licensing authority to issue official certification, giving permission for the engine to sold in The Netherlands. Other licensing bodies across Europe have followed RDW’s lead by issuing the necessary certification, including Great Britain, Northern Ireland, Germany, France, Spain, Belgium, Poland, Finland, Switzerland and Lichtenstein. Licensing authorities in other countries are set to follow with certification during 2025.

JCB has already produced more than 130 evaluation engines which are powering backhoe loaders, Loadall telescopic handlers and generator sets. Real-world testing of JCB’s hydrogen equipment on customers’ sites is now at an advanced stage and progressing well.
