Blaney’s New Superhuman Helper

/in , /by

Blaney’s New Superhuman Helper: Blaney Motor are excited to launch a new mini loader – the BIONIC  S1 035.  The new Blaney BIONIC though small in size offers massive capabilities for many tasks involved in landscaping and greenkeeping. 

This new superhuman helper can lift six times that of a man and 12 times what is recommended we should lift.  This little machine is less than 1500mm long and can fit into a van for easy transportation with no need for a trailer licence.  The Blaney BIONIC is affordable help, capable of more than we can imagine.

Blaney’s New Superhuman Helper

Following extensive customer consultation the BIONIC has been developed to be compact, mobile and manoeuvrable with the ability to do a variety of tasks.  What makes this mini loader so handy is that you don’t have to climb into this machine or open doors.  You can quickly and easily step on and step off, moving from job to job.

Blaney’s optional high flow oil drive for attachments gives endless applications.  An advantage over a small tractor is that all implements are in front of you, with a small hitch for trailer work.  With over 25 years’ experience in developing attachments, the BIONIC can be equipped with a range of attachments to carry out tasks including soil preparation and grass maintenance.  Could you do with some extra help with: lifting, loading, shifting or mowing?  Then put the Blaney BIONIC to work.

This versatile mini loader is ideal for working in tight and awkward areas thanks to its small size and zero turning circle.  With a bucket capacity bigger than a wheelbarrow it is ideal for disposing of debris and grass cuttings and given its ability to reach over 2m it can tip into a trailer easily, making it better than any wheelbarrow.

The BIONIC is ideal for working in tight and awkward areas such as narrow paths or small gardens making it ideal for landscapers and tree surgeons.  It can be fitted with a host of equipment for soil tillage and grass keeping duties such as a power box rake, a broadcaster for grass seed and fertiliser or a range of mowers for finishing and topping vegetation.  The BIONIC can also be kitted out with a sprayer and boom making it a handy weed control device.    A sweeper can make tidy ups quicker and easier.  Equipped with forks it is ideal for unloading and moving pallets up to 350kg.  Round the green, garden or field the BIONIC can be used to cut grass in hard to reach areas, lift stones and bore holes for strainers and fencing.

Blaney Motor Company, part of the Blaney Group of engineering companies based in Co Antrim, Northern Ireland is known for designing and manufacturing innovative off road vehicles including compact wheeled loaders.  The New BIONIC is an exciting addition to their range and was showcased  at this year’s Balmoral Show alongside Blaney Motor’s compact L1 loader range.

The team at Blaney will be pleased to speak to you about how a machine can be tailored to suit you. Blaney Motor are developing their dealer network and welcome trade enquiries.

New Machines For Merlin GC

/in , , /by

New Machines For Merlin GC: One of the latest golf clubs in the west country to realise the versatility of Ventrac equipment is Merlin Golf Course on the north Cornish coast. Situated on high ground close to Mawgan Porth and only a short drive from Newquay, this heathland course enjoys stunning views towards the Atlantic Ocean.

This latest package, delivered by local dealer Devon Garden Machinery, included a Ventrac 4500 compact tractor unit with Contour mowing deck and a Sisis Multitiner 1200.

New Machines For Merlin GC

Martyn Bennett is the Course Manager and is assisted by two long-serving greenkeepers, Rob Hall and Carl Quible. He joined Merlin just 8 months ago after four years as deputy course manager at Caversham Heath Golf Club in Berkshire and before that spent 12 years at Basingstoke Golf Club in Hampshire

“We were in the market for a new rough mower and my predecessor had a demonstration back in July 2018,” he said. “We had a further demonstration when I arrived, so I could confirm that it would be suitable for the course and I wasn’t disappointed. It’s remarkably powerful for a sub-25 hp tractor, quiet and produces an excellent stripped finish with no mess. We used gang mowers previously so this has been a revelation. It’s so manoeuvrable and has reduced our fuel bills for maintaining the rough by 50%; that’s a significant saving.

“It’s a versatile machine with a unique front mount system and standard 3-point linkage on the back. The Sisis Multitiner fits easily on the back, so it’s not just Ventrac attachments that can be used, increasing the versatility of what it can do.”

Carl Quible is the principal operator of the machine and says,

“We have some extreme slopes around the course and I feel 100% safe when I’m mowing. It enables us to maintain the banks on a regular basis and can go where other mowers cannot go. It’s a powerful compact machine and has certainly enhanced the presentation of the course.

Built in 1991, the course has been owned by Jim Barlow since 2004 and is now benefitting from investment at all levels. Redesigned to cut out long walks from green to tee and with new bunkers and tees, it’s a challenge off the white tees, especially when the wind blows! The club house was opened in 2005 and has recently been extended and refurbished including a new patio overlooking the 18th green.

The club has its own wind turbine and small solar farm which also provides power for the contemporary holiday apartments on the course.
