Dennis and SISIS will
once again be exhibiting at BTME 2018 on stand A5 where greenkeepers, course
managers and turf managers will be able to view an extensive range of turf
maintenance equipment.
With a focus on
aeration, scarification and mowing, visitors to the joint stand can look
forward to finding out more about these products as well as speaking to
experienced staff who will be available to answer any queries and offer
valuable advice.
Featuring prominently
on the stand will be the SISIS Javelin Aer-Aid 1500 tractor mounted vertical
action aerator and the SISIS TM1000– a tractor mounted scarifier.
The Javelin Aer-Aid
recently gained rave reviews from the STRI (Sports Turf Research Institute).
Over a three month period, extensive STRI trials led by Dr Christian Spring
were carried out which examined how and if the Javelin Aer-Aid had an effect on
the hardness of the turf, the root depth, water infiltration and disease.
“Following successful
trials on an established sand based golf green, this aerator, when used as part
of an integrated turf management programme, would be a very useful tool for
managing soil and plant health. It became obvious that the Aer-Aid improved maximum
root and depth within the soil profile and also had the benefit of increasing
the depth of the average rooting mass,” said Christian.
The SISIS TM1000 is a
purpose designed, tractor mounted scarifier with a choice of five contra
rotating quick release reels for maximum thatch removal and minimum surface
disturbance.
The floating unit
follows ground contours closely without scalping, while depth of operation is
easily adjusted with a ‘no tool’ depth setting.
Also featuring from
the SISIS portfolio will be the Auto-Rotorake MK5 pedestrian scarifier.
Offering versatility with a range of contra-rotating quick-release
interchangeable reels including scarifying, verticutting and brushing, the
machine is renowned for its ease of use.
From the Dennis range,
visitors will be able to view the Simplex and FT510 mowers. The Simplex has a
510mm (20”) operating width with a choice of 5 or 7 bladed cutting cylinder.
Easy height of cut adjustment and a two-piece rear roller which gives easy turning
makes this an ideal mower for golf tees and ornamental club lawns.
The Dennis FT510,
which has a cutting width of 510mm (20"), will also be showcased at the
exhibition. This unique mower has a range of 12 interchangeable cassettes
meaning that one machine can be used for several key maintenance tasks from
cutting, scarifying, verticutting or brushing.
BTME takes place in
Harrogate, North Yorkshire, from 23-25 January 2018.
