The luxury cabin is obviously standard with air conditioning and heater but what is not fully appreciated until it has been used and inspected is the amount of space that the layout of the levers and controls and flat floor of the drivers platform provide compared to other makes.

A whole range of specialist turf wheels are available from Kioti ensuring that the tractor can do the jobs that you are looking to do whilst protecting the turf.

Also showing on the Kioti UK stand will be the still new Mechron 2400, CS2610 Sub compact tractor, CK3310H tractor with cabin and WD1260 cut and collect.

Spider Show Slope Mower At SALTEX

/in , , /by

Spider Show Slope Mower At SALTEX: Visitors to the TH WHITE Machinery Imports stand at SALTEX in early November, were among the first in the UK groundscare industry to see an advanced protype of Dvorak-Spider’s new and compact slope mower, the Spider CROSSLINE.

With its innovative and compact design, it complements the current Spider ILD01 and Spider ILD02 remote-controlled mowers and features a terrain following mowing deck, integrated stabilising winch, a skid-steer option and is powered by a Honda GXV390, 4-stroke petrol engine.

Spider Show Slope Mower At SALTEX

Like the bigger machines it can mow slopes up to 40 degrees and then with the stabilising winch attached to a ground anchor it can mow at 55 degrees. No other dedicated slope mowers can match this degree of slope severity.

Robustly constructed for full commercial use, the Spider CROSSLINE provides the ideal cutting results on the steepest slopes with an emphasis on user friendliness and ease of use. It has a cutting width of 65 cm (25.6 inches) and a cutting height ranging from 4 – 12 cm (1.6 – 4.7 inches), while fuel consumption is between 1-2 litres per hour depending on the terrain with a maximum speed of 6 km/h.

Commenting on the new mower, Nick Penn, Spider’s UK Sales Manager said,

“We have been asked by end users for a smaller, but equally robust mower for some time and the XLINE as it will be denoted with decals on the body panels, is our response. It is slightly different from the larger models in that it has an articulated frame, which enables the mowing deck to follow ground contours more precisely. The proven technologies inherent in the other machines have been further developed and we feel we have ‘crossed the line’ in terms of our development strategy, hence the name.”

Pricing in the UK will be approximately £15,700 when the mower is launched next spring, compared to 19,700 for the Spider ILD01 and £31,400 for the flagship machine, the Spider ILD02.

Bayer To Show Glyphosate Studies

/in , , /by

Bayer To Show Glyphosate Studies: Bayer announced Nov. 21 that it will soon include safety study summaries of glyphosate on its dedicated transparency platform.

The company said this next step will mark the first anniversary of its Transparency Initiative, which was launched on Dec. 7, 2017.

Bayer To Show Glyphosate Studies

“Our commitment to transparency remains core to our mission as we move forward as a combined company,” said Liam Condon, member of the Bayer AG board of management and president of the Crop Science Division. “We recognize that people around the world want more information around glyphosate, and we are eager to offer access to our glyphosate-related safety data on our dedicated transparency platform. This platform has set new standards of accountability and responsibility in the sector; we pledge to use it as a springboard to continue to share science-based information with the public.”

Bayer said its platform demonstrates how transparency regarding crop protection safety studies can help the company achieve its commitment to sound science and the safe use of its products while at the same time maintaining confidential business information.

In addition to the glyphosate study summaries, which will be made available on Dec. 7, 2018, access to the underlying safety study reports — owned by Bayer and submitted for the review that led to the European substance renewal decision in December — will be enabled next year.

Bayer is a global enterprise with core competencies in the life science fields of health care and agriculture. In fiscal 2017, the group employed around 99,800 people and had sales of 35.0 billion euros.

Show Success For Spider

/in , , /by

Show Success For Spider: Spider Slope Care, the Orlando-based distributor of Spider remote controlled mowers from Czech manufacturer, Dvorak, had a very successful show at the GIE+EXPO in Louisville, KY, in October.

It’s not often these days that machines are sold at a show, but this happened on booth 7188 when a prospective customer saw the Spider ILD02. He then went outside to see the machine working on the demonstration booth and immediately placed the order. Finance was arranged in a single day and the Spider ILD02 was driven onto their truck at the close of the show.

Show Success For Spider

Lubor Hladik, International Sales Manager for Dvorak commented,

“This is unprecedented. We have never done this in the USA before; it really made the show for us. We exhibited last year with a major presence and it really has paid off. Many more visitors knew of us and that previous exposure has definitely raised awareness of the brand and capability of our products.

“Along with the Spider ILD02 we also exhibited the smaller version, the ILD01; our dedicated mower for mowing under the panels on solar farms, the Spider 2SGS and an alpha prototype of our Spider 3RIDER. This unique mower has three steering options, a 90” (2.3 metre) width of cut and can be can be operated by remote control on slopes up to 30 degrees, by an operator who will be in a safe position away from the machine.

“The outdoor demonstration area was also a huge draw for visitors; it generated significant footfall back to the indoor booth and really worked well for us. We’re already looking to improve our interaction with visitors next year and are planning a bigger outdoor area to provide an opportunity to drive the machines.

“Overall an excellent show for our business.”
