VERSATILITY AT ITS FINEST
Here at the Garden of Cosmic Speculation with it’s vast landscapes, sculptures and gardens we are never short of jobs to do. We already have a SXG mower for cutting the lawns and one TXG tractor, so to help with the workload we purchased another TXGS24 23hp subcompact tractor.
“With the front loader and bucket fitted it’s largely used for excavating and landscaping purposes. It’s also used for towing trailers, transporting grass cuttings and leaves for easy disposal. With the two tractors we can run the PTO’s and systems off one trailer and can unload into a trailer attached to the other tractor. If we can attach something to them, then we can use it.
“ISEKI offer exactly what we need, they are reliable, comfortable and safe to use. I would recommend these machines to absolutely anyone.”

Remote control solutions from PSD Groundscare
There is an increasing demand for reliable remote control mowers for the commercial user where certain tasks such as steep verges and slopes make it very difficult to mow quickly and safely and a remote control mower is often the answer.
Commercial remote control mowers have been designed and developed to reduce and in some circumstances remove health and safety issues working on slopes, near water courses, in environments were operators can be at risk, including from thorny foliage, animals, reptiles and insects.
The operator is able to work the machine at a distance which can be safer and more convenient for them.
Another advantage is that complications regarding Hand and Arm Vibrations and hearing are less of an issue.

The new Fortis range of cylinder lawnmowers from Cobra delivers advanced lawn mower technology to bring a convenient lawncare solution with incredible cutting precision.
The range combines eight machines in one to give the ultimate package for creating picture perfect lawns, and are the first powered cylinder mowers to be launched by Cobra.
There are four mowers in the Fortis range. Starting with a compact 14” model that is powered by a Loncin petrol engine, and then the 17”, 20” and 25” all featuring Briggs & Stratton engines for extra power for larger lawns. They are all self-propelled and have a threeway drive facility, allowing the blades to be disengaged without having to stop the engine.
Fortis mowers all feature a sixblade precision ground cutting cylinder to give the finest, most precise cut possible. The height of cut can easily be adjusted too with variants as low as 6mm and ranging up to 30mm. The finishing touch to the perfect cut comes from the steel front roller giving an enhanced definition to the iconic lawn stripes.
Convenience and comfort have also been considered as the mowers have foam cushioned handles that fold down for easytransportation and compact storage.
What makes the Fortis machines the ultimate in lawncare however, is their ability to transform into seven other machines to ensure that lawns are immaculate and healthy. The Fortis six-bladed cassette can simply be removed and replaced with another accessory cassette in the range to switch its use.
