/in , , /by

STIHL updates long-reach hedge trimmer range: STIHL has launched the new HLA 66 and HLA 86, updating its range of cordless long-reach hedge trimmers designed for landscaping professionals and groundskeepers.

Ideal for pruning taller hedges and shrubs as well as clearing ground cover plants, the new HLA 66 and 86 replace the popular HLA 65 and 85 models, and feature a series of upgrades to improve the user experience. Exceptionally well balanced thanks to the repositioned battery, the hedge trimmers are lightweight for easier handling and reduced fatigue when working over longer periods.

Thanks to the EC motor, rapid acceleration of the blades is achieved for optimum performance, and the tool can be used in wet conditions to minimise downtime. The 115º swivelling cutter bar allows user to achieve top, side and bottom cuts easily, whilst the blade is also sharpened on both sides for efficient cutting in any direction. Additionally, the cutter blade can be folded flat for improved user safety and space saving when transporting the tool.

Both of the models feature a new ergonomic control handle and a self-resetting locking lever in combination with the Ergo lever for an intuitive start-up process. This design also ensures that the tool is comfortable to use whether right-handed or left-handed and features anti-slip protection for further safety and comfort.

The HLA 66 is available with a loop handle and shaft grip for ergonomic working helping users trim closer to where they are standing, whilst the HLA 86 offers a telescopic alternative for a longer reach. With an adjustable length of 260cm – 330cm, users can easily find the best working position using the HLA 86, whilst the square shaft design prevents against twisting and deflection allowing for precise positioning even at full extension.

Both the HLA 66 and HLA 86 can be used with STIHL’s high-performance 36V AP battery system for professional use and are compatible with a number of accessories, including a mounting base, carrying system, clamp for the telescopic shaft and catcher plate for the cutting blade.

ICL launches organo-mineral range

/in , /by

ICL launches organo-mineral range: ICL has announced the launch of Gronamic – a new range of organo-mineral fertilizers.

The Gronamic range comprises various analyses and particle sizes to suit the demands of all types of fine and coarse turf. The range combines the benefits of mineral and organic sources of nutrient to provide consistent and long-lasting growth responses.

The granulation process produces consistent, uniform and dust-free products. This range allows you to incorporate all the benefits of organic sources of nutrition into your fertilizer programme without compromising on quality or reliability.

Ed Carter, UK Sales & Development Manager is delighted with this new addition to the ICL fertilizer portfolio: “The introduction of the Gronamic range is a really positive step for ICL,” he says. “We are world leaders in the production of mineral and controlled release fertilizers and adding organic technologies into our portfolio really broadens our reach.

“We know that our customers utilise organic nutrient sources within their management programmes and the Gronamic range now allows them to do this with ICL branded material.”

The Gronamic fertilizers utilise organic and mineral nutrient sources to provide a phased consistent release that creates consistent growth responses. The consistent granulation facilitates even spreading and ensures reliable performance.

There are four products in the Gronamic range:

Gronamic Golf – “High N” 16-3-6 +2MgO +2CaO +0.5Fe

Gronamic Golf – “High K” 5-0-22 + 2MgO +1.5CaO +0.5Fe

Gronamic Sport – “High N” 16-3-6 +2MgO +2CaO +0.5Fe

Gronamic Allround – 10-4-5 +2MgO +0.5 Fe

All of the products have a low C:N ratio to ensure optimal nutrient availability (as C:N ratio increases plant nutrient availability in short term reduces).

The Gronamic range is also part of Turf Rewards – purchasing 25 x 25kg will earn 5 points.

Please contact ICL on 01473 237100 or visit www.icl-sf.co.uk or www.icl-sf.ie if you are in Ireland.

Woods expand landscaping range: Woods Equipment have added two new products to their expanding landscaping range, in the form of the Box Scraper and Landscape Rake.

Woods UK agent Simon Richard says, “both products are based on Woods durability and reliability. The landscape rakes offer a working width of 1.3m 1.5m 1.8m 2.1m and 2.4m, for tractors between 25hp and 45hp, for tough clean-up jobs, as well as fine raking for lawn care and general maintenance.

A box-type structural tine beam holds fully spring-loaded steel tines one-inch apart for superior material collection, while allowing soil or sand through for a smooth even grade. Adjustable angles and 360 degree pivot control the flow of material to left, right or centre while gauge wheels allow better depth control. A parking stand allows easy attachment to the tractor.

The reinforced steel A-frame, tough, reversible cutting edge and replaceable scarifiers mean the new Woods Box Scrapers can handle the toughest spreading and grading jobs. The BSM models have a 6.35 mm plate welded inside the end plates for extreme conditions and extra durability. High strength, double bevelled cutting edges allow full length, easy carve, into the sod and dirt and thick, high strength mouldboards deal with the most challenging jobs. Choose widths from 137cm to 213 cm to suit your requirements”

Green Means… Best Technology

POLYON® controlled-release fertilisers encapsulate nutrients within a patented polyurethane membrane, feeding the root zone slowly, constantly, daily, for months at a time. The key is the “Reactive Layers Coating” that releases out nutrients via diffusion. The results are astounding: beautiful turf, fewer applications, and no excessive growth, even after irrigation or rainfall.

Green Means… Efficient

Independent research shows POLYON® fertiliser maximizes nutrient-use efficiency. POLYON® fertilisers are engineered to provide 100% controlled-release nutrients with virtually no nutrient lock-off. Numerous university studies measuring leaching and volatilization verify POLYON® fertiliser minimizes nitrogen loss compared with other fertilisers.

POLYON® fertiliser can be applied in advance of plant demand because cool soil temperatures of early spring will slow nitrogen release. Less nitrogen is released to the soil from which it can be lost. As soils warm, plant growth and nutrient demand increase. Warmer temperatures also increase nitrogen release from POLYON® fertiliser to keep pace with plant needs.
