Exhibiting: Hall A, Stand A15
British Seed Houses kicks off 2010 in fine style with three exciting new grass varieties to be launched at BTME on stand A15. The three varieties each bring benefits to different markets, from golf to summer sports and turf growing to landscaping. With their strong performance on golf courses, Creeping Bents are on every greenkeeper’s shopping list, and the revolutionary 007 variety has a licence to thrill. Developed from no less than 24 parent plants, 007 offers superior turf quality, eliminates winter stress discolouration and is highly competitive against poa annua.
Highly versatile – it is suitable for use on greens, tees and fairways, as a complete reseed or for overseeding – 007 has enhanced Dollar Spot resistance, and offers vigorous, uniform growth. Moderate density allows fertiliser and top dressings to be incorporated, but this variety also cuts maintenance bills due to lower fertiliser requirements and reduced need for fungicides. It also adapts well to close mowing on greens.
“This variety is likely to challenge all other creeping bents on the STRI list,” suggests British Seed Houses’ Simon Taylor. “It is ideal for golf courses looking for the excellent performance of Creeping Bent but without the high inputs.”
Finding a top quality perennial ryegrass that is suitable for a range of applications can be a challenge, but British Seed Houses has hit the jackpot with Escapade.
A brand new amenity Perennial Ryegrass for spring 2010, Escapade has high shoot density and a very fine leaf which blends well with fescues, giving a luxuriant, attractive sward.
Offering rapid recovery from wear and a reduced requirement for repair after a major tournament or public event, Escapade can also help turf growers to improve the saleability of their products. With exceptional visual merit and uniform summer and winter greenness, it would be a good choice for high profile lawns at busy hospitality venues.
Low maintenance costs are also part of the package, with excellent resistance to Red Thread.
“A high performance Perennial Ryegrass, Escapade is an ideal choice for summer sports and quality lawns and is likely to be popular for turf production,” comments Simon Taylor.
Turf managers looking for a low maintenance variety should investigate AberFleece Sheeps Fescue, developed for landscaping, ornamental lawns and even golf roughs. Giving a natural grassland appearance, AberFleece is very fine leaved in texture, slow growing and tolerant of poor soil condition.
Its low maintenance requirement makes Aberfleece ideal for highways, verges and embankments, and it is also drought tolerant, cutting the workload and water bills in a dry summer.
Further savings can be made due to AberFleece’s resistance to common turf diseases.
“AberFleece is going to be a real winner as it can be used in so many applications, and will significantly cut costs as it requires so little maintenance,” says Simon Taylor.
Trust British Seed Houses to start 2010 in style with three very diverse and very promising new varieties.

Charterhouse Turf Machinery will showcase a new addition to its range of equipment at BTME. Details are being kept under wraps until the opening of the show, but this proven machine will be of significant benefit to greenkeepers and groundsmen, offering a turf renovation solution which can dramatically improve conditions on golf courses and sports fields.
Charterhouse Sales Manager Nick Darking says: “This new addition will enable greenkeepers and groundsmen to improve playing surfaces in a cost-effective and efficient way and we look forward to revealing all to BTME visitors. It is a well-respected machine and we believe it fits into our range of top quality maintenance equipment well.”
Charterhouse’s existing stable, spearheaded by the iconic Verti-Drain range will also be on show. A popular choice on golf courses, the Verti-Drain 7215 has a working width of 1.56m (61in) and can aerate up to 250mm (10in) deep, for maximum productivity on the green when used with a 25 hp tractor. The unique adjustable parallelogram forced heave shatters compaction in any ground conditions, and this versatile machine features single-point adjustment for optimum results and hollow coring. A three speed gearbox matches the tractor’s ground speed exactly to achieve the desired hole spacing.
With models suitable for work on tees and greens from the 1.2m 7212 which can be pulled by an 18hp tractor to the high capacity 1.6m 7416, there is a wide choice of Verti-Drains for greenkeepers.
Charterhouse also offers a range of re-seeding solutions to renovate and improve fine turf, and the Verti-Seed is the ideal machine for greens and tees. A disc seeding system with seed fed through funnels and released just above the slit makes for highly accurate placement and the Verti-Seed can be precisely adjusted to give exact rates even for very fine seed such as bents and fescues. Models are 80cm and 1.2m working widths, suitable for tractors from 17hp.
Topdressing is an essential task on the golf course and Charterhouse’s extensive offering includes the Rink DS800 pulled model, suitable for tractors from 30hp. The 0.80 cu.m capacity DS 800 has dual spinners with a spread pattern variable up to 10m (33ft) for maximum productivity, and is capable of handling wet materials. Operation of the belt and spinners can be done from the tractor seat, via a hydraulic lever, and the material release gate automatically closes when the belt is stopped, avoiding unnecessary losses of material.

New Holland celebrates 45 years of involvement in the compact tractor sector in 2010, and will mark the occasion by delivering the most advanced compact tractor in the market today.
The Boomer 3000 series, featuring the award winning EasyDrive™ continuously variable transmission (cvt), benefits from having no range levers to shift and greater efficiency than any Hydrostatic thanks to its unique use of a totally mechanical drive train.
Customers relying on a mechanical transmission for fixed speed work now have a new option – this tractor allows drivers to match exact speed to every task without being fixed to a gear, thus maximising productivity. It was this model which was awarded the silver medal for innovation at the 2009 SIMA show in Paris.
Also on show at BTME will be the new T1500 series. Two entry level models offered with a choice of three-range hydrostatic or 9×3 manual transmissions, the 30hp T1560 and 33hp T1570 are versatile, easy to use and dependable.
“2010 is a milestone for New Holland,” says Rupert Boobbyer, New Holland European Product Marketing Manager for groundcare products.
“The industry has come a long way since the introduction of Ford’s LGT Series in 1965, and New Holland has certainly played its part in that and will continue to do so.
“As the years have passed, New Holland has consistently been at the cutting edge of industry innovation, manufacturing over 100 different models while striving to meet ever-changing customer needs.”
New Holland will also provide BTME attendees with a chance to see the T4000 on turf tyres, and a G6000, on show with the latest Blueline mower deck which allows the cutting height to be adjusted from the driver’s seat. Completing the line-up of groundcare machines will be a tractor from yesteryear, to mark the company’s anniversary.
“With the most complete range of groundcare products to-date, New Holland not only lives up to its well-earned place in the history books of groundcare, but continues to create new industry standards as we move forward,” Boobbyer says.
To mark the 45 year milestone, New Holland will hold a 30 minute seminar at 3.30pm on Tuesday 19 January in the Queen’s Suite within the BTME show. This will see Graham Gleed, New Holland’s Groundcare Sales Manager for the UK and Republic of Ireland, take a look in the rear view mirror to see where New Holland has come from, as well as look forward to 2010 and beyond.

Exhibiting: Hall A, Stand A37b
Inturf is set to launch an innovative new soil conditioner at Harrogate Week 2010. Designed especially for golf and sports turf applications, TerraCottem Turf harnesses a combination of over 20 hydroabsorbent and nutritive components to significantly improve soil quality and water retention for healthier, more vigorous turf.
TerraCottem is already a proven product – parent product TerraCottem Universal has been successfully used in largely horticultural settings for the past 15 years in over 40 countries worldwide. However, having gained cult status among turf users during that time, the original product was put back into research and development to find a solution specifically for the turf industry, resulting in the creation of new TerraCottem Turf.
Central to this new formulation’s success is the addition of zeolite, a 100 percent natural volcanic mineral that helps increase soil fertility and water retention. Zeolite is renowned for its very high Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC), the ion exchange between the soil and soil solution that represents the soil’s ability to hold onto nutrients and prevent them from leaching beyond the roots. The inclusion of 42 percent zeolite with a CEC range of 150 to 180meq/100g, together with 31 percent high-CEC hydroabsorbent copolymers, ensures the CEC levels of soil treated with TerraCottem Turf are far higher than normal.
TerraCottem Turf’s benefits have also been boosted by the inclusion of humic acid, an addition that has a hugely positive affect on soil structure, water retention capacity, drought-stress resistance, plant element-absorption and microbiological activity. Though found naturally in soil, its presence is limited – particularly in the sandy rootzones common to sports turf – and so supplementing the product with over 18 percent humic acid helps the sward make better use of nutritive elements and, in turn, promotes better grass growth.
Both laboratory testing and plot trials at Waregem Golf Club in Belgium have confirmed that the chosen humic acid in TerraCottem Turf produces the best possible results on root development, establishment weight, cover and grass colour. For example, in pre-launch trials the selected humic acid produced an increase of 25 percent in fresh-weight root production over the control.
Similar trials also confirmed the benefits of another vital ingredient – NPK fertiliser with magnesium – on germination, establishment of grass seedlings, colour and root growth.

BTME LAUNCH FOR NEW 25HP COMPACT TRACTOR FROM MASSEY FERGUSON Rated at 25hp, the new MF 1525H compact tractor will make its European debut on the Massey Ferguson stand
Replacing the 22hp MF 1523H in Massey Ferguson’s 1500 Series compact tractor line-up, the MF 1525H features a number of key enhancements over its predecessor. These include important upgrades to the engine, transmission, hydraulics and driver platform, all designed to make the MF 1525H a formidable contender in the sub-30hp compact tractor class.
Powered by a new three-cylinder diesel engine developing 25hp at 2,600 rpm, the MF 1525H has been given a larger 28 litre fuel tank, enabling operations to continue for longer without having to refuel. The MF 1523H had a 25 litre tank.
Also new on the MF 1525H is a three-range hydrostatic transmission (HST), bringing the tractor into line with larger 1500 Series hydrostatic models, all of which have three sub ranges. Also in common with its larger stablemates, cruise control is included as standard.
Customers operating implements and attachments will appreciate the MF 1525H’s uprated hydraulic pump which delivers 33 litres/min, giving a rear linkage lift capacity of 600kg at the link ends – 60kg more than its predecessor. The MF 1525H also has two auxiliary hydraulic valves as standard, selectable for single- or double-acting by moving a lever on the valve.
Equipped with rear and mid power take-offs with independent electro-hydraulic engagement, the MF 1525H’s PTO engagement switch is located conveniently on the dash panel. The switch has two positions: ‘Off’ for normal instantaneous power take-off engagement and “On” producing a ‘soft’ start for steady and progressive engagement of PTO drive, the latter recommended for high inertia implements and when operating in difficult or heavy load conditions.
Drivers of the MF 1525H will find a spacious, semi-flat operating platform offering enhanced comfort and control layout for improved efficiency and performance. The complete platform, including the dash panel and steering column, is mounted on rubber isolation blocks all-round, helping minimise noise and vibration for greater comfort. Providing a more spacious work area than the model it replaces, the MF 1525H’s operating platform has ergonomically-positioned controls which fall easily to hand to maximise operating experience and tractor output.
Other driver-friendly features include full hydrostatic steering, two-pedal HST, grab rails on both sides of the platform and a cup holder. The MF 1525H is fitted with a foldable rear ROPS and will be offered with a choice of 1.37m and 1.52m mid mower decks for the 2010 season.

Cutting large areas productively on the golf course can be a challenge due to the varied contours and the requirement for a quality finish.
The Progressive Pro-Flex 120 from The Grass Group has what it takes to deliver a superb cut on the most undulating terrain, using five rotary decks with independent float fore and aft to closely follow ground contours. Generous cut width of 3m helps the busy greenkeeping team stay ahead of the game, while anti-scalp rollers prevent any damage to the turf on the steepest of descents.
Incorporating the proven pto shaft, running gear and blade spindle assembly from Progressive’s Tri-Deck rotaries, the Pro-Flex 120 is built on a full frame to allow mowing to continue while backing up. Solid construction with 5mm deck material and the heavy duty frame ensure a long life with the most demanding of workloads.
Decks are equipped with shock absorbers to prevent bouncing even at cut speeds up to 10kph, boosting productivity while maintaining the quality of cut. The appearance of the sward is enhanced by the high blade tip speed, and an open rear discharge allows for even dispersal of clippings.
Height of cut is adjustable from 20 to 82.5mm in 5mm increments. Outer wings fold to give a transport width of 2.43m, and the three inner decks can be operated in this position, allowing access to more confined areas on the course and giving a 1.83m cut.
Golf course workshops will find this mower straight forward to maintain – decks lift hydraulically and lock into the transport position for servicing, while spindles are greaseable from the top side without removing the belt shields and spindle assemblies can be removed from the deck without disassembly.
The compact trailed chassis makes for easier turning and reversing; power requirement is from 30hp at the pto.

A series of one-metre deep soil core samples will determine the underlying soil structure and pin point the reasons and the depth at which compaction and drainage problems occur. Armed with this knowledge greenkeepers and groundsmen can then decide whether the Deep Drill, aerating down to 10 inches or an Airforce Terralift machine, de-compacting to a depth of one metre will best serve their purpose.
The Deep Drill physically removes ten inches of soil to the surface with 60 tungsten tipped drills on the drill bed, located at five inch spacings. The removed soil can be drag matted (as a top dressing) or removed and re-cycled. The treatment encourages root growth and a healthy sward which in turn saves the turf manager money on fertiliser and pesticides.
Airforce Terralift machines break up compaction panning to a depth of one metre by injecting compressed air from 10 to 20 bar., with minimal disruption to the surface. The process dispels anaerobic conditions and black layer, promotes gaseous exchange and opens the soil to allow natural drainage or water filtration to existing drainage systems.Both treatments are suitable for fine and amenity turf.
