From Tee to Green with KAR UK

KAR UK will be in the Red South Zone on Stand 228 at BTME showcasing a leading range of irrigation equipment that could make a significant improvement to your golf course.

KAR UK is an integral distributor of Hunter Industries irrigation equipment, which has, for over 30 years, developed the technology and infrastructure to create a new class of golf irrigation solutions.

Here is a snapshot of what to expect on the stand:

Hunter TTS rotors

The Hunter TTS-800 rotors provide maximum uniformity and longevity. The high-torque gear drives are the strongest in the industry, so the challenges of reclaimed water use or poor water quality are mitigated. An extra-large, fast-access flange compartment comfortably accommodates wire connections and other components.

The new 800 series feature Hunter’s patented TTS (Total-Top-Service) technology which allows for every serviceable element of the rotor to be accessed through the top. Mechanical and electrical, big and small, you can get to every component without disturbing the playing surface. That means there’s no more digging, no more unsightly scars, and more importantly, one less item on a busy turf manager’s schedule.

I-80 rotor

Engineered for sports turf, the I-80 is built with a robust, dirt-tolerant gear drive that offers the highest torque output of any rotor in the commercial sphere, and extends a radius range from 11.3 to 29.6 meters. The I-80 features a wide range of highly efficient, dual-trajectory, wind-fighting nozzles for highly efficient performance in a range of applications. It also provides TTS via its integrated, surface-mounted snap-ring for no-dig easy maintenance.

ACC2 and ICC2 controllers

Hunter’s line-up of controllers offer an array of user-friendly features and smart controller water-saving options built to fit any sports and landscape irrigation system. The modular design of the ICC2 and the ACC2 controllers set yet another industry standard for easy-to-use and expandable automatic irrigation controllers. KAR UK will also demonstrate the new Centralus Software which is available to the ICC2 and ACC2.

Pilot PC-based central control system

A PC-based software package that makes central control of large-scale irrigation systems affordable, usable, and comprehensible.

Kasco fountains

In addition to the Hunter irrigation equipment, why not also ask the KAR UK team about the innovative Kasco decorative fountains? These unique fountains are renowned for improving the health of water as well as bringing a certain elegance to a picturesque pond.

Experienced members of staff from KAR UK will be on hand throughout BTME to provide advice and support for any of your irrigation projects.

"I have been using Melcourt Sylvagrow for a few years now. Bracken based & no wood fibre or crap within it. I tend to mix in some Perlite depending on what it is being used for. It was sold in 50Lt bags until last spring when they dropped 20% out,…"

"Hi Henry - Sounds like the starter motor is trying to turn the engine over but it has jammed. You could try freeing it off by rocking the machine backwards and forwards. It may work. Did for me on an Etesia 124. Good luck."
