/in , , /by

Barenbrug At SALTEX 2018: Barenbrug UK, the grass expert, is returning to SALTEX for 2018, showcasing two of its most innovative ranges. 

Between them, the Essentials range and the Sports range offer a grass seed to cover every possible turf, environment and budget contingency.

Visitors to stand GO55 are encouraged to bring their turf questions and challenges for a free assessment and advice from a grass expert.

Dr David Greenshields from Barenbrug said:

“Our Sports range offers unprecedented performance traits for stadium environments. Featuring our industry-recognised RPR technology, no other grass seed offers the same self-repairing ability to counteract extreme wear.”

Visitors will learn how some of the best-known stadiums rely on RPR Stadium, the top-performing 100% perennial ryegrass. And, how Barenbrug Yellow Jacket Water Manager can solve challenges on even the trickiest links courses.

The Essential range offers the same level of quality you’d expect from 100 years grass seed expertise, but with cultivars and mixes designed for large-scale or lower budget projects. It is ideal for commercial landscapers, councils and sporting venues experiencing funding cuts.

If you’re thinking about a change, or are concerned about any issue, visit stand GO55 to speak to a dedicated grass expert.

New Etesia Brushcutters At SALTEX: Etesia UK have confirmed that visitors to stand C050 at this year’s SALTEX will have an opportunity to see new products, with the launch of two new Attila pedestrian brushcutter models at the show.

With built-in rugged reliability as standard, the new Etesia AK60 and AH75 pedestrian brushcutters have been designed to work in the toughest of conditions. These powerful workhorses effectively deal with clearing vegetation from a wide variety of sites – long grass, weeds, bracken and brambles on woodland paths or orchards. Ease of operation and manoeuvrability ensure total efficiency and high output.

Both models will be fitted with a T3 transmission with differential lock and front wheel locking system with a simple height of cut adjustment from the new handle bar design.

The AK60 model is fitted with a Kawasaki FJ180 OHV engine with a 60cm cutting width, while the AH75 is fitted with a Honda GXV 390 engine with a 75cm cutting width. Both new models also feature a new handle bar system with central cable protection allowing movement into offset and storage positions.

The two new models join the Attila AK51 Kawasaki 51cm cutting width model already in the range.

Also available to view at the 2018 show will be a range of Etesia pedestrian and ride-on mowers.

New Germinal Package At SALTEX

/in , , /by

New Germinal Package At SALTEX: Germinal will be returning to the NEC in Birmingham on 31 October–1 November for SALTEX, and will be showcasing its new, all-in-one sports pitch renovation package.

Containing three key elements – Germinal’s A20 Premier Ryesport seed mixture, an appropriate selection of fertiliser products and free sward management advice from one of Germinal’s FACTS (Fertiliser Advisers Certification and Training Scheme) qualified technical experts – A20 Seed & Feed gives groundscare professionals everything they need to renovate sports pitches and to create a playable surface in time for the new season.

New Germinal Package At SALTEX

The seed element of the A20 Seed & Feed package provides a combination of four top-performing species of perennial ryegrasses: 10% Eugenius, 45% Calico, 20% Eurosport and 25% Eurocordus.  Together, these cultivars create a dense sward with excellent fineness of leaf, a good cleanness of cut, robust levels of disease resistance and fantastic post-winter recovery. The standard seed mixture can also be customised, allowing groundsmen to create a bespoke mixture to meet their specific needs.

For the fertiliser component of the A20 Seed & Feed package, a soil or sand based nutrient programme can be selected.  A third option, for park pitches and local community pitches, is also available.  All three nutrient programmes are F.A.C.T.S. approved and have been designed to enable the new sward to achieve the best possible results in terms of seedling establishment and sward development.  Each package contains a selection of phased release fertilisers and advanced soil conditioners which provide the necessary nutrients and trace elements required during the renovated pitch’s growing-in phase.

“The pitch renovation season is one of the busiest and most stressful periods in any groundsman’s calendar,” explains Richard Brown, Germinal Amenity Sales Manager.  “Waiting for the renovated pitch to be ready in time for the new playing season can cause even the most experienced and laid-back groundsman sleepless nights.  With that in mind, we have created an all-in-one seed, fertiliser and nutrient advice package to help ease the pressure.

“All too often we speak to groundsmen who simply don’t have the time or resources, or in some cases the correct technical knowledge, to develop their own over-seeding and fertiliser programme.  By following the simple advice laid out in our new A20 Seed & Feed package, these groundsmen can be confident that they are using the correct rate of the most suitable grass seeds and fertilisers at the optimum time, and that every penny invested will give their pitch the very best chance of going into the new season in prime condition.”

New Toro Machines At SALTEX

/in , , , /by

New Toro Machines At SALTEX: Toro distributor Reesink Turfcare is bringing the first super-duty utility vehicle, the Outcross 9060, and the brand’s new 12ft pull-behind rotary mower to SALTEX 2018. Both machines are designed to ensure groundsmen can do a lot more, with less, and will be on show on stand H010.

Jeff Anguige, national sales manager for Reesink, says: “The launch of the Outcross 9060 marks the first of its kind to be purpose-built for the management of fine turf. It combines the best elements of a tractor with a utility vehicle and delivers a machine that can do the work of multiple machines in one compact package.”

New Toro Machines At SALTEX

Powered by a 59.8-horsepower Yanmar liquid-cooled diesel engine, the Outcross can tow up to 16,000lbs and has an optional cargo bed that can hold 4,500lbs of materials. It simplifies operation, optimises power and brings the option of dozens of attachments to perform hundreds of tasks.

Following hot on the Outcross’s heels for making the groundsman’s life easier is the Groundsmaster 1200 pull-behind rotary mower. What’s interesting about this new machine is that it is, says Toro, a pull-behind more than worthy of being called a Groundsmaster such are its capabilities.

Productivity is high with a 12ft wide cutting width thanks to three decks which flow with the contours of the terrain for example and dual full width rollers which leave a well-groomed after-cut appearance. The height of cut can be adjusted from 0.5 to four inches, and its wing decks folded up to create a narrow 86-inch transportation width making it easy to get from site to site. Plus, the transport wheels feature a torsion axle and integrated torsion spring which means it can do its job smoothly and comfortably for the operator.

Jeff says of these new launches: “As with the entire grounds range, Toro focusses on productivity, versatility, flexibility and durability, and the Outcross and Groundsmaster are the perfect embodiment of all these things. Toro understands its market and that today’s groundsmen need to do more with less. Plus, they complement each other so well.”

In addition, there will be a full line-up from Reesink and all its brands. From the grounds machinery range will be the LT-F3000 triple flail mower and its innovative cylinder attachment option, and the large volume direct collect ProLine H800, which launched at last year’s show.

Representing Toro’s irrigation range will be the Lynx Central Control system and Infinity 55 sprinklers with Smart Access, TS90 and T7 sprinklers with TurfCup, a feature for hidden infield irrigation and seamless-looking turf, and the Flex 55 sprinklers.

For those managing ponds and lakes, needing to optimise oxygen levels to keep water healthy, there will be Otterbine’s best-selling Fractional five-in-one aerator which delivers the highest performance rate of any fractional aerator on the market. It will be joined on stand by the Concept 3, the aerating fountain that perfectly illustrates how industrial aerators can give the best of both worlds offering function and beauty.

Reesink will again have two stands with H080 being entirely dedicated to TYM’s range of compact tractors and accessories.

Reesink’s marketing manager Holly Jones, says: “There’s lots to look forward to for this year’s show. To have not one but two Toro launches is great for the sports and amenities market and I predict there will be a lot of interest on the stand as a result. We welcome everyone to come and see the line-up, discuss their needs and share experiences and advice with our specialist groundscare machinery team.”

SCH Sponsor SALTEX Award

/in , /by

SCH Sponsor SALTEX Award: SCH (Supplies) Ltd have proudly attended and exhibited at SALTEX for 33 years, and during this time the event has helped our company thrive. We feel that it’s time to give back to one of the main contributors of our success, and are doing so by sponsoring the Best Managed Artificial Surface award.

SCH has had its best year so far, and we’ve ramped up production to keep up with demand. Being a small company, every member of staff is important to keep production going at full pace. To fulfil our customer obligations at this exceptionally busy time, we’ve decide to keep our key members of staff on site to ensure products continue to reach customers without delay. It is due to this that we will not be keeping stand space at SALTEX this year. It’s been a difficult decision to make after 33 years, but we believe it to be the correct one.

SCH Sponsor SALTEX Award

SALTEX is the only show that SCH has a presence at, and it is very important to us because we do not employ any outside sales representation. The show is our main vehicle for speaking to people face to face and showcasing our products. It provides a focal point for the company and prompts us to consider the direction that the industry is taking, which in turn informs the decisions we make regarding the development of new machinery.

We’re delighted with the opportunity to sponsor the Best Managed Artificial Surface award, which allows us to continue our uninterrupted 33 years at SALTEX. It gives us all – especially managing director Andrew Rodwell – the chance to catch up with old friends and new, and we value the fact that we will be getting referrals all through the year as a direct result of SALTEX.

As manufacturers of both real and artificial pitch care machinery, the choice of award was an easy one to make, and we are delighted to sponsor this prestigious award. Despite not keeping stand space this year, we are delighted to give back to the event and to be involved.
