With climatic conditions and maintenance demands placing ever-increasing pressure on turf managers, DLF are pleased to present their strongest ever line-up of grass seed mixtures to support durable, sustainable surfaces without compromising on plant health or visual merit. Central to this offering is DLF’s 4turf® tetraploid ryegrass technology.

Proving itself to be a game-changer for elite sporting venues, 4turf® is also well suited to landscape applications where rapid establishment, visual quality and a hardwearing surface are of paramount performance. With enhanced root development, mixtures that contain DLF’s 4turf® tetraploid ryegrass – such as Johnsons J 4turf 25/50/100 and PM51 Greenscape from the Masterline range – are better equipped to withstand environmental stresses such as drought, cold and wear. Hardier in nature, 4turf® also demonstrates better disease resistance, reducing reliance on chemical applications.

Further environmental benefit is delivered by DLF’s Pro Flora and Colour Boost wildflower ranges. With more than 25 mixtures available and significantly expanded in-house production for enhanced seed purity, DLF offers both the expertise and capacity to support conservation and biodiversity initiatives in all settings across the UK. Whether the objective is to creative native, habitat-rich meadows, or deliver bold visual impact with non-native annuals, there’s a mixture suited to every environment.

DLF’s experts will be available throughout the event to answer all of your technical questions as well as discuss the comprehensive research and trials programme underway at their industry-leading headquarters in Inkberrow, Worcestershire. Discover the next generation of sustainable, high-performance green spaces with a visit to DLF when GroundsFest returns to Stoneleigh Park on the 9th and 10th September.

Kubota parts redefined with Terrako

/in , , /by

Kubota parts redefined with Terrako: Kubota (UK) Ltd has introduced a digital marketplace for customers to streamline ordering of genuine parts using mobile or desktop devices.

It is called Terrako, and enables Kubota parts to be ordered through an online portal (http://uk.terrako.com) that also provides instant access to dealer stock levels.

“As an all-new digital marketplace, the development of Terrako has made it very easy and convenient for customers to order genuine parts for their Kubota equipment, even if they’re unsure of who their local Kubota dealer is,” explains Simon Chadbone, Kubota UK’s division manager for parts. “This is particularly useful for those who are working away from base, for example contractors, as it can save the customer a lot of time while also contributing to a reduction in downtime.”

Access to Terrako requires customers to create a free online account, which also highlights the location of their closest Kubota dealers. Doing so gives the customer direct access to view dealer stock levels and recommended retail pricing, when searching for parts. Terrako also provides access to schematic drawings and parts numbers, simplifying parts identification and ensuring customers order the correct parts for their equipment.

Payment is made at the point of ordering, using secure online payment processes, with customers receiving an email confirmation of their order. Customers can choose to collect parts from their nearest Kubota dealer, or request dealer delivery to site, or seek direct delivery from Kubota.

“It may be that the nearest dealer might be out of stock, but another Kubota dealer within easy reach may have those parts sat on the shelf,” says Simon. “Searching with Terrako will speed up the process of finding and buying the correct genuine parts. And it’s operational 24 hours/day, seven days/week.”

Terrako offers more than just genuine Kubota parts supply. It can also be used to buy service kits, oils and filters, and will enable Kubota dealers to highlight promotional offers and create bespoke promotions for their customers.

“The introduction of our Terrako digital marketplace has now made it much easier for Kubota customers to buy the correct genuine parts without having to take the required items to a dealership for identification,” says Simon. “With an online Terrako account, genuine Kubota parts can be ordered from anywhere, using any mobile device.”
