This October, over 200 dealers and media attended three ‘Discovery Days’ held by Barrus across the country – at Ripley Castle, Winkworth Farm in Malmesbury and A Day in the
Country in Aynho.
Phil Noble, Sales and Technical Manager, and his team
unveiled a whole host of new products for the 2019 season from the wide range
of Barrus brands including Cub Cadet, Lawnflite, WOLF-Garten, Wilkinson Sword,
Town & Country and CEuk.
During the morning, dealers were walked
through the new products and advised on the features and benefits. The
afternoon was then spent with the opportunity to test the machines including
taking Cub Cadet’s PRO
Zero-Turns, the ultimate in performance, comfort and durability, around a
driving course.
Other new products from Cub Cadet included the XR1 500, the
ideal entry level robotic model, and the new top of the range lawnmower the XM3
ER53, which will be making its public debut at SALTEX on 31st October.
Lawnflite PRO was represented by its first hydrostatic roller
mower, the 553HRSP-HST, which is 50% faster than the high speed 553HRS-PROHS.
This machine will also make its debut at SALTEX along with the new range of
Duracut and Procut lawnmowers from Rover.
As the exclusive distributor of GTM products, Barrus had an
extensive display of products on show and for dealers to use. The feedback was
excellent for chippers as was it for the new ancillary products; the
Rattlewedge, a unique tree felling device and the Elephants Trunk 2, having
both had successful launches at the APF show in September.
Finally, dealers were interested to learn more about the
professional range of Infinicut mowers from Cub Cadet. These precision mowers
bring enhanced mowing performance to sports and fine turf requirements as used
at Wimbledon Tennis Club and fast becoming the machine of choice for leading
football clubs, including Real Madrid and Chelsea.
“We have been
delighted with how our Discovery Days have been supported by our dealers. The
array of new products we have launched across all our brands and market sectors
have been very well received and we look forward to rolling these out to our
dealer network in 2019” said
Phil Noble, Sales and Technical Manager.
One dealer summed up one of the days by
saying ‘I love the company,
the staff and the personal touch you only get from Barrus.’
