/in , /by

T H WHITE Machinery Imports Went the Distance: Team T H WHITE Machinery Imports geared up for an extraordinary challenge that not only pushed the boundaries of endurance but also aimed to raise awareness and funds for mental health support. The Great Ferris Coast2Coast Challenge took place from April 9th to April 10th, 2024, spanning from Arnside seafront to The Whale Bone Arch in Whitby.

Mental health is a pressing issue affecting millions worldwide, with one in four individuals experiencing some form of mental health issue annually. Recognising the profound impact mental health has on physical health, relationships, and work, Team T H WHITE Machinery Imports was committed to making a difference.

Supported by Ferris, the team embarked on a 160-mile journey across the stunning landscapes of Cumbria, the Pennines, Yorkshire Dales National Park and the North York Moors – all aboard a Ferris IS 2600Z mower. This unique challenge not only showcased the durability and versatility of Ferris equipment but also symbolised the endurance required to tackle mental health challenges, with the patented suspension system offering unmatched comfort even over rough terrain.

“We’ve all experienced ‘down days,’ and it’s crucial to recognise that mental health is just as important as physical health,” said a Bill Johnston, Director of T H WHITE Machinery Imports. “Through the Coast2Coast Challenge, we aimed to spark conversations, raise awareness and funds to support those struggling with mental health issues.”

The team invited everyone to join their cause by making a donation to their designated charity, Wiltshire Mind. Donating was simple through a dedicated Just Giving page, accessible via the provided link or QR code.

Supporters rallied behind the team as they navigated through challenging terrains, spreading awareness and raising vital funds for mental health support. The journey was followed closely, and contributions to their cause poured in. Donations are still coming in and they are set to raise over £3000!

/in , /by

TH White dives into commercial robotic mowing: Over the last year AMS Robotics has worked hard to form a string of exceptional regional dealers across the country, introducing them to the commercial robotic mowing market.

The Belrobotics products are at the forefront of the large format robotic mowing industry with a groundbreaking mower that will manage up to 75,000m2 several times a week – making it the perfect solution for sports pitches, schools, and all private and business premises. AMS’s most recent partner TH White Groundcare has just come on board as a regional dealer.

TH White’s groundcare supplies market leading machinery brands for your grounds care and arboricultural business. They are specialists in the supply of groundcare and arboricultural machinery, and related equipment, to Local Authorities, Golf Courses, Private Estates, Grounds Care Contractors and more making them the perfect candidates to sell the Belrobotics products.

With three branches in England: Redditch, Stockbridge and Tetbury (Knockdown), THW are able to service the needs of customers in the Birmingham and West Midlands area, Worcestershire, Herefordshire, Gloucestershire, Somerset, Bristol, Wiltshire, Berkshire, Hampshire and Surrey.

TH Whites and some of the other regional dealers have been busy training with AMS Robotics to bring each team up to speed with the installation process and everything that comes along with it.

Check out how TH White’s Groundcare has found working with AMS and the Belrobotics system:

These vast area mowers are perfect for Turf farms and large private estates. By having GPS and RTK, this increases mowing capacity making them faster and more accurate. Competitor offerings are targeting the domestic segment whereas AMS products suit our existing professional customer base and we are frontrunners in the dealer network being able to supply this unique product to customers who don’t have time to cut grass.

Salesman feedback – so far so good. Great to demo, the machine is fun and is easy to use once you are set up.

A recent customer quote from Jeremy Bulmer who purchased a Park mow, and says “they are the best things since sliced bread’. The next morning after the day the mower was installed he looked outside to find his garden looked like a cricket square… not a blade of grass out of place, it was perfect! This will now save him 8 hours a week sitting on a mower. Which for a busy businessman is a lot of time saved.

AMS Robotics is so pleased to be working with TH White Groundcare helping private homes and businesses manage their large turf areas smarter! For more information or a demo opportunity please call AMS on 01462 676 222 or interested@amsrobotics.co.uk and we will put you in touch with the appropriate contact

White Horse Contractors turn to Koro® FTM®

/in , /by

White Horse Contractors turn to Koro® FTM®: The Koro® FIELDTOPMAKER® with Campey UNIVERSE® rotor from Campey Turf Care Systems was the number one choice for White Horse Contractors Ltd for its unrivalled precision and excellent results on hybrid pitches.

White Horse, who became a member of The Slatter Group in 2019, partnered with GrassMaster at the end of 2020 to offer hybrid turf sports construction in England and Wales. This partnership and increased demand for renovations on hybrid and natural turf led the company to look for the best option on the market for fraise mowing, with the Koro® FTM® with Campey UNIVERSE® rotor providing everything they needed for all surfaces.

“We have had the machine since April, and we’ve carried out renovations throughout the spring and summer, and it’s performed very well,” White Horse Contractors Ltd Managing Director, David Smith, said.

“Our operators have loved using it because it’s very well built and reliable, but mainly it’s the precision of the machine that has impressed them. We know when we set it exactly what results we’ll get, and that is important for the customer and us. That precision is especially important when working on hybrid surfaces, so you don’t damage any of the fibres, and we know we can operate confidently with the Koro® FTM®.

“We’re installing more hybrid fields at the moment due to demand and our partnership with GrassMaster in the UK, but a big part of our service is the renovation contracts and programmes that follow. We want to ensure our customers get the best service and pitch possible, and a part of us being able to provide that is the service we get from Campey.

“We run a lot of other Campey equipment, and this is a continuation of our partnership with them. We get very good customer service from Ben Taylor, and with a machine like this that is used heavily during a specific time of year, the backup is crucial. We haven’t had any issues with it, but working with Campey before, we know that anything we need is sorted out quickly, and that’s why we chose and continue to choose to work with them.”

The patented Campey Universe® rotor (fitted with 10mm blades) achieves excellent surface hygiene on all pitch surfaces. It is particularly suited to hybrid pitches as it attains results without damaging the exposed synthetic/hybrid fibres. The whole annual renovation process, including dressing with 60/80 tons of sand, fertilising and overseeding, can be carried out in a few day’s instead of four to five.

With 3mm, 5mm or 10mm blades available for the Campey Universe rotor, any amount of the surface can be removed from 15% to 100%, and the entire surface can be removed up to a depth of 50mm. Micro adjusters offer unrivalled accuracy when setting the rotors, making the Koro® FTM® a precision fraise mower chosen by the world’s leading contractors, clubs and sports facilities.
