With its XGT 40VMax range, professionals are equipped with the power and performance to make outdoor projects even easier and achieve top results quickly and efficiently. </p><p><strong><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}9240116085,RESIZE_1200x{{/staticFileLink}}"><img class="align-center" src="{{#staticFileLink}}9240116085,RESIZE_710x{{/staticFileLink}}" width="352" height="352" alt="9240116085?profile=RESIZE_710x" /></a></strong></p><p><strong>UR002G XGT 40VMax Brush Cutter</strong><strong> </strong></p><p>The UR002G Brush Cutter includes three-speed settings and can deliver output up to 6,500rpm for maximum productivity. Makita’s innovative Automatic Torque Drive Technology (ADT) works to change the cutting speed according to the load conditions, so users can trust that the machine is always working at its optimum. What’s more, the UR002G has Active Feedback sensing Technology (AFT) that shuts down the tool if the rotation speed suddenly slows to prevent kickback and protect the user. For ease of use, the UR002G features a reverse switch to easily remove any material that gets stuck in the blade.</p><p>The UR002G is also compatible with Makita’s PDC01 and PDC1200 backpack batteries, so users can extend machine run time and reduce downtime to maximise time on site. The UR002G is also compatible with a selection of nylon heads and blades depending on the task.</p><p><strong><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}9240116867,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img class="align-center" src="{{#staticFileLink}}9240116867,RESIZE_710x{{/staticFileLink}}" width="337" height="341" alt="9240116867?profile=RESIZE_710x" /></a></strong></p><p><strong>XGT 40VMax Hedge Trimmers</strong></p><p>The new UH004G and UH005G Hedge Trimmers deliver a no-load speed of up to 5,000rpm and feature an asymmetric, double-sided, curved, sharp-edged blade for easy trimming. The curved teeth reduce friction resistance to suppress energy loss and extend run time. What’s more, the inclined tooth edge enables the blade to easily catch, firmly hold, and sharply cut twigs or thin branches up to 23.5mm for maximum efficiency.</p><p>Completing the new hedge trimmer collection, the UH006G and UH007G have been designed for trimming overgrown hedges and thick branches thanks to the non-curved, sharp-edged blade. These machines can cut thicker branches up to 25mm in diameter and are ideal for rough cutting.</p><p>For improved user safety all of the new hedge trimmers are low vibration machines and for comfort, include a rubberised soft grip. The UH004G, UH005G, UH006G and UH007G all also feature a reverse switch to easily free the blade when jammed in thick branches.</p><p>Kevin Brannigan, Marketing Manager at Makita said: “As with all XGT 40VMax machines, the UR002G, UH004G, UH005G, UH006G and UH007G are designed to deliver the high output and durability professionals need for regular, heavy-duty use on site. All machines in our XGT range have an IPX4 rating, which means that they are splash and showerproof and protected against water ingress – which is ideal for those working outside in unpredictable weather.”</p><p>To find out more about Makita and its range of 40VMax and 80VMax XGT products, please visit: <a href="http://www.makitauk.com/">www.makitauk.com</a></p><p> </p></div>STIHL EXPANDS BRUSHCUTTER RANGEhttps://landscapejuicenetwork.com/profiles/blogs/stihl-expands-brushcutter-range2021-06-03T13:26:28.000Z2021-06-03T13:26:28.000ZFleur Voicehttps://landscapejuicenetwork.com/profil/FleurVoice<div><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/9029535689?profile=RESIZE_400x&width=400"></div><div><p>STIHL has launched the new FSA 86 R, adding to its range of high-performance brush-cutters designed for landscaping professionals and groundskeepers.</p><p> </p><p>The new FSA 86 R offers the low weight of its predecessor, the FSA 85, with added features like the ergo lever handle cutting attachments that can be changed by hand, a new design, and more power. The all-new high revving direct-drive motor produces 20% more power, delivering outstanding cutting performance. The EC motor also offers excellent efficiency during operation, ensuring it permanently monitors the load and adjusts the engine accordingly.</p><p> </p><p>Additionally, the exceptional power-to-weight ratio makes the tool incredibly easy to use, particularly for line-trimming around borders and trees, without the need for metal cutting tools or a full bike-handle brushcutter.</p><p> </p><p>In addition to the comfortable loop handle for easy handling and working in confined spaces, the FSA 86 R also features an ergonomic control handle from which the locking lever, ERGO lever, and main trigger lever can be easily activated. The locking lever is self-resetting and prevents unintentional switching on of the device, and when the ERGO lever and shift lever are pressed simultaneously, users can work continuously with ease.</p><p> </p><p>Although the new AutoCut C 6-2 cutting head is fitted as standard, the new PolyCut 6-2 is available as an alternative option that can be fitted without the need for tools. For more challenging jobs, the new DuroCut 5-2 better suited for dense grass and light scrub.</p><p> </p><p>The FSA 86 R features a new battery housing and component design, enabling users to easily insert STIHL’s high-performance 36V AP batteries, ideal for professional use. Users can take working time from 35 minutes to 60 minutes when using STIHL’s AP 200 battery.</p><p> </p><p>For more information on STIHL’s range of brush-cutters including the FSA 86 R, please visit <a href="http://www.stihl.co.uk">www.stihl.co.uk</a>.</p></div>SISIS Brush-Pro Chosen for Regular Synthetic Maintenancehttps://landscapejuicenetwork.com/profiles/blogs/sisis-brush-pro-chosen-for-regular-synthetic-maintenance2014-05-28T10:34:42.000Z2014-05-28T10:34:42.000ZFusion Mediahttps://landscapejuicenetwork.com/profil/FusionMedia<div><p>Colfe’s school, which is one of London’s oldest school’s dating back to 1574, has become the latest SISIS customer to invest in dedicated machinery with the purchase of a SISIS Brush-Pro ride-on brushing system for all regular synthetic surface maintenance.</p><p>Brian Atkins, who has been grounds manager at the school for the past ten years, has been an avid user of SISIS equipment for close to twenty years. When it came to replace an old SISIS Robbi triple brush that the school had used for eight years, he visited the company stand at IOG SALTEX in September 2013 to purchase the newer enhanced Brush-Pro model.</p><p>“We’ve got a range of SISIS machines from slitters, scarifiers and sweepers to the machine we use on the synthetic surface, which we use on a daily basis,” said Brian. “The Robbi had done such a good job in the previous eight years, that when the time came to replace it, we knew what our preferred choice would be. We visited SALTEX and after a demonstration following the show, purchased the Brush-Pro early this year.”</p><p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314217757?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="450" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314217757?profile=RESIZE_480x480" width="450" class="align-left"/></a>Small enough to manoeuvre through a single gate, yet capable of performing the required daily or weekly activities to keep a synthetic surface in perfect shape, the SISIS Brush-Pro ride-on system has been specifically designed for maintaining synthetic surfaces. It consists of a pair of mid-mounted oscillating brush units for periodic aggressive maintenance and three foldable rear mounted brushes spreading 3 metres for more regular maintenance, which means fewer passes are needed compared to more conventional drag brushing, causing less surface compaction.</p><p>Synthetic surfaces require a good maintenance programme in place from installation. Failure to regularly remove dirt, leaf debris and other detritus from the surface can lead to contamination of the infill, which in turn prevents rainwater from draining freely through the carpet.</p><p>Brian says that all regular maintenance of the synthetic surface is carried out in-house by groundstaff at the school. "We need to ensure that the surface is always kept to a high standard as it’s not only used by pupils but also by the local community. The Brush-Pro needed to be small enough to be able to fit through a set of gates, yet powerful enough to cope with the weekly tasks we need to complete. In that respect, it’s great.”</p><p>Colfe’s School is one of a growing number of customers to enhance their on-site maintenance equipment with dedicated synthetic surface maintenance machinery from SISIS. From schools and colleges, to premiership football clubs and also pitch installers, the SISIS Brush-Pro offers the complete in-house maintenance machinery package.</p><p>“The oscillating brushes are by far its best feature as they enable us to not only get right into the surface but also control the moss on the edges of the surface. I’d have no hesitation in recommending the Brush-Pro to anyone looking after a synthetic surface,” said Brian.</p><p>For further information or a no obligation demonstration, please contact SISIS on 01332 824 777 or visit <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sisis.com">www.sisis.com</a><br/> For more news, reviews and insightful views, you can follow SISIS on Twitter @SISISMachinery and like the company’s Facebook page – <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.facebook.com/SISISMachinery">www.facebook.com/SISISMachinery</a>.

Whatever you need to sweep, a SweepEx brush is quickly attached to the host vehicle, be it a tractor, forklift, telehandler or skidsteer and you have a simple yet highly effective sweeping solution.</p>
<p>Now there’s a new addition to the SweepEx range, the MegaMax ‘C-broom’, which incorporates all the benefits of the unique push broom while providing you with a bulk volume mover. One day it will be working shifting large quantities of grain in a grain store, the next it can be clearing big volumes of slurry.</p>
<p>What’s different about the MegaMax is that it is a heavy-duty push broom with patented side retainers that hold bulk volumes of material in front of the brush, avoiding spillage at the sides. That in itself represents a major time-saving operation in addition to the fact that the brush is mounted to the host vehicle in seconds.</p>
<p>There’s no need to spend time going over swept areas to clear spill lines and the end brushes are also carefully twisted so they pull material away from a wall or curb, keeping it in the main path of the broom. No motor, belts or chains and no flying debris, the MegaMax is safe and maintenance free, with hard wearing brushes designed to sweep up to 450 miles before the bristles need changing.</p>
<p>That’s a lot of sweeping, tackling bulky materials with ease and offering a ‘squeegee’ effect on wet surfaces too. The MegaMax is available in 1.5m, 1.8m and 2.4m widths and whilst it is ideal for livestock yards and grainstores it is equally as effective for a whole range of uses around the farm, in landscape maintenance, warehouse and distribution sites, snow clearance and much more.</p>
