<br />
Severn Trent have again granted BALI access to the large reservoir embankments at Draycote Water, one of the largest reservoirs in the Midlands. The picturesque site boasts some considerable grass embankments and will be a testing ground for a range of specialised machinery. This will be a great opportunity for grounds maintenance and landscape contractors to benchmark a range of machinery. Local authority managers could gain a valuable understanding of embankment management. <br />
<br />
A range of product manufacturers and technical specialists including the HSE will also be available to discuss vegetation and machinery management issues.<br />
<br />
If your business requires technical information, is considering buying embankment machinery, or you just want to attend to network with a range of industry professionals, book now!<br />

The company say recent reports of operators losing their lives in bank mowing accidents have triggered a high demand for demonstrations of their Attila range of ride-on and pedestrian brushcutters and this event will highlight the benefits of purpose-built machinery.</p><p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314194296?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="450" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314194296?profile=RESIZE_480x480" width="450" class="align-left"/></a>The event, which is being organised by British Association of Landscape Industries (BALI) and the National Contractors Forum (NCF), takes place at the Seven Trent Draycote Water site in Warwickshire and will be a health and safety led event investigating the risks and different methods involved in vegetated embankment management.</p><p>Severn Trent has granted BALI access to the large reservoir embankments at Draycote Water, one of the largest reservoirs in the Midlands. The picturesque site boasts some considerable grass embankments and will be a testing ground for the range of Attila machines.</p><p>Etesia's UK Operations Director, Les Malin, says, "It is tragic that fatal accidents of this kind can occur in an age when purpose-built bank mowers are so readily available. The big mistake is to use a standard ride-on mower for maintaining steep slopes - they can easily become unstable on gradients, putting the operator at great risk.</p><p>"A very large number of commercial users are realising that employing the wrong machine for the job is a costly exercise, especially in cases where charges of corporate manslaughter could be raised against the company in question. This will be a great opportunity for grounds maintenance and landscape contractors to benchmark a range of machinery."<a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314193399?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="450" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314193399?profile=RESIZE_480x480" width="450" class="align-right"/></a></p><p>The tremendous traction and performance of the Etesia Attila 180 and Etesia Attila SKD, fitted with an optional dual wheel kit, are effective brushcutters on uneven terrain and steep slopes of up to 27°. These machines allow you to safely tackle steep slopes and hillside verges with ease.</p><p>For further information, please contact Etesia UK on 01295 680120 or visit <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.etesia.co.uk">www.etesia.co.uk</a></p><p>For more news, reviews and insightful views, you can follow Etesia UK on Twitter @EtesiaUK and like the company’s Facebook page – <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.facebook.com/EtesiaUK">www.facebook.com/EtesiaUK</a>.

After an initial demonstration we found that Etesia ticks all of our boxes. As soon as we started using them, we thought wow. They were very impressive in the wet.”</p><p>Designed to meet the rigours of a wide variety of commercial grass cutting applications, Etesia’s Pro 46 pedestrian rotaries are specified by contractors, local authorities and landscapers. The special shape of the mowing deck produces a powerful suction and blowing effect to ensure a quality cut with maximum collection. As an option, a mulching kit and mulching blade convert the pro 46 mowers into formidable mulchers. The Pro 46 rotaries are lightweight and compact, making them ideal for mobile grass cutting teams. The handlebars fold, without the use of tools, for easy transportation or storage.</p><p>The compact Hydro 80 ride-on mower is ideal for multi-tasking and easily adapts to every terrain, every grass cutting situation and every task. The pocket-size cut and collect mower, at just 0.82m wide and 1.98 m long, features an incredibly tight turning circle and is able to nip into every nook and cranny as well as being able to be easily transported in the back of a van or on the back of a trailer.</p><p>“The Hydro 80 is probably the best machine we’ve purchased. It cut mowing down compared to push mowers and speeded up what our teams can do, allowing them to do other jobs”. We like the fact that we have one machine that can do different jobs.</p><p>“We find that we can run the machines for up to four years which is fantastic, as previously, we were changing every two years. You may pay a little extra for an Etesia machine when you purchase it, but the overall lifetime cost is far lower.”</p><p>For further information, please contact Etesia UK on 01295 680120 or visit the company’s new website <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.etesia.co.uk" target="_blank">www.etesia.co.uk</a></p><p>For more news, reviews and insightful views, you can follow Etesia UK on Twitter <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.twitter.com/EtesiaUK" target="_blank">@EtesiaUK</a> and like the company’s Facebook page – <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.facebook.com/EtesiaUK" target="_blank">www.facebook.com/EtesiaUK</a>.
