The swift has landed: Swallows and swifts are starting to appear in our gardens but one Swift that has already landed is making a big, green impact.

The Swift battery powered garden rider from STIGA is the world’s first ride on mower whose batteries are interchangeable with a wide range of 48V hand-held tools such as strimmers, blowers and hedge cutters.

This means only one charger is needed to power the whole garden as the batteries that drive the Swift rider also power other STIGA hand-held garden tools.  You can keep on mowing too as the Swift operates very efficiently on just three batteries whilst the fourth can be used in the brushcutter, blower, hedger etc to tidy up the garden.

Battery power is becoming very popular as many look for a green alternative to fossil fuels for their garden equipment.  And with no trailing power cables, STIGA ePower batteries offer all the power of petrol and are cleaner, quieter and emission free.

When the birds are ready to fly back to Africa in the autumn the STIGA Swift won’t be joining them as they line up on telegraph wires!

Major Upgrades For Swift Roller Mowers

/in , /by

Major Upgrades For Swift Roller Mowers: Already renowned for their low maintenance and durable machinery, Major Equipment has announced a series of upgrades to their tractor mounted Swift Roller Mowers. These mowers are available in working widths from 1.9m to 5.4m.

Built light to allow them to be used on smaller compact tractors, there is no compromise on strength with the use of Strenx™ 700 MC high-yield steel, which is stronger than steel traditionally used in machinery.

Now the mower bodies are galvanised using zinc hot-dip galvanisation for added protection from harsh exterior conditions. Hot-dip coating of the metal doubles the life span compared with painting and, Major say, it will protect steel from corrosion in most atmospheric conditions for 25 to 30 years.

It’s no wonder then that Major has also introduced a three-year professional warranty for all models in their Swift Roller Mower range but they haven’t stopped there. The roller mowers’ custom designed gearbox has been upgraded for improved and consistent mowing, even in the toughest conditions. High speed blade tips on the Major roller mowers offer higher output with an enviably professional cylinder mower finish every time you cut.
