Etesia UK Announces West Midlands Pellenc Dealer

New Pellenc Dealer for West Midlands

Etesia UK, the exclusive distributor of Pellenc battery-powered equipment in the UK, has announced Midlands Groundscare Machinery (MGM) as the new Pellenc dealer for the West Midlands area.

MGM, a new independent groundscare company based in Solihull, was formed by the experienced Dave Tullett who has worked within the groundscare industry for over 27 years. A fully qualified BAGMA instructor and assessor and experienced agricultural engineer, Dave is keen to use his knowledge and expertise to provide trustworthy, professional advice and support when sourcing new equipment or providing high quality servicing and maintenance.

New Pellenc DealerIt is safe to say that Dave understands the market extremely well and knows what brands of machinery his customers will want to see at his Depot in Knowle. The addition of the Pellenc range of equipment, including battery powered chainsaws, hedge trimmers and brushcutters, will present MGM’s customers with a lighter, odourless, noise-free and more cost effective alternative to fuel based machinery. Not only will users see improved performance but they will also be contributing to protecting the environment by reducing the consumption of fossil fuels and noise pollution.

Dave is further embracing Etesia’s green technology philosophy by also selling Etesia’s battery powered range of products including ride-on mowers, pedestrians, brushcutters and the ground-breaking range of robotic ETmowers. Labelled by some as the future of mowing, Dave is pleased that MGM are already on-board.

“There are definitely more industry professionals choosing to use electric and battery powered products as opposed to fuel based ones. Perhaps there is a realisation that a reliance on fossil fuels is not always going to be possible.
“These battery powered products not only provide the operator with more comfort and less vibration but they are also healthier. Let us not forget about the savings either. Five litres of fuel will cost on average £6.50 per day whilst a Pellenc battery powered product works out at about 85p per day. That’s a significant amount of savings over a long period of time,” he said.

In the last five years, Pellenc has gained market recognition by offering a unique range of ‘zero emission’ battery-powered handheld tools, thanks to the development of Lithium-ion ultra-high performance batteries. The emergence of Pellenc in the UK has been quite phenomenal with over 50 Etesia dealers now stocking Pellenc machinery in various parts of the country.

Cut, Collect and now Stripe with Etesia

Etesia launch rear roller for perfect lawn striping

The professional’s choice in cut and collect rotary mowers has just got better with the addition of an Etesia rear roller kit for easy effortless striping.

Etesia pedestrian mowers have become world renowned for cutting and collecting in all weather conditions – even the wet, but before now were not available with a rear roller kit for that all important presentation.

The first Etesia model available with the rear roller kit is the range of 41cm cutting width Duocut machines which are now able to cut, collect, stripe and by fitting the mulching insert, mulch – making this particular range of rotary mowers a must in anyone’s armoury. Rear roller kits to fit the 46cm cutting width models, which are Etesia’s most popular models, will be available soon.

No tools are required to fit the roller kits to an Etesia machine – just simply hang the free floating roller on two locating pins behind the grass box. Weighing 9kgs, the roller has been designed so that it will operate free-floating at any height the machine is mowing at – ensuring perfect striping no matter the weather or height of cut required.

“We’ve been asked if we could add a rear roller to our pedestrian mowers for as long as I can remember and I am thrilled that we now can,” said Les Malin, operations director at Etesia UK. “Our products are known to be robust and innovative but we have seen a number of our customers adding their own roller kits, which wasn’t ideal. This new rear roller kit will open our machines up to a whole new market where presentation of pitches or lawns is vitally important.”

Pellenc Launches First Professional Lawnmower

Pellenc has launched their first professional lawnmower – the Rasion which is available in push and self-propelled options and offers impeccable cutting quality for all types of mowing work undertaken by landscapers and local authorities.

Thanks to its environmentally-friendly credentials, the Rasion produces less noise than conventional petrol-powered mowers meaning users can work in noise sensitive areas at any time of day. With no fuel management or consumption, zero CO² emissions and made from recyclable materials; this is a pedestrian mower of the future.

A new high efficiency motor of 93% for reduced energy consumption, a dual blade for a finer, more precise cut optimise the mowing time. Power comes from an ULiB 1100 Pellenc battery of 2000W.

Electronic speed setting of the blades from 3000 to 5000rpm on the handle bars, a cutting width of 60cm, 70 litre grass box capacity and two front swivel wheels ensure the Rasion is ultra-manoeuvrable. Weighing less than 20kgs and folding handlebars means that transportation between sites is effortless.

As with all other Pellenc products, the Rasion uses the ultra-high capacity technology of the Pellenc lithium battery and guarantees non-polluting, odourless operation with quick start-up and up to one day battery life.

The Pellenc ULB battery range is designed for professional tool use. Pellenc is the only professional tool manufacturer to offer a whole range of tools that operate with ultra-high capacity multipurpose batteries.

Ideal tools for all situations where noise and emissions are not wanted, Pellenc are used by groundsmen, landscapers, arborists and contractors for grounds maintenance, or close to hospitals, cemeteries, schools and other noise sensitive areas.

Etesia Offer Three Year Warranty on All Machines

Etesia has announced that all pedestrian, ride-on and brushcutter models will now carry a three year warranty as standard for domestic use, and a two year warranty for commercial use.

“We have always built mowers of exceptional quality, and have total confidence in every machine that comes out of the factory. That’s an easy thing to say, but to back it up with a warranty is quite a different matter,” said Etesia UK operations director Les Malin.

“Most councils and mowing contractors have been looking more carefully at the lifetime cost of their machinery and not just the initial purchase price. Our product is not the cheapest to buy, but if you consider life cost, repairs, maintenance, downtime and now the new extended warranty, the value is easy to see”.

Favoured by many, Etesia has gained a reputation for producing pedestrian and ride-on mowers that are highly reliable with low maintenance, making them the number one choice for many users.

Last year also saw Pellenc announcing that all battery-powered tools come with a three year warranty as standard. Pellenc can now be seen in every major UK city, as well as the majority of national trust sites around the country.

In the last five years, Pellenc has gained market recognition by offering a unique range of ‘zero emission’ battery-powered handheld tools, thanks to the development of Lithium-ion ultra-high performance batteries. This technology, which is exclusive to Pellenc, allows for a drastic reduction in the production of greenhouse gases and noise pollution. It is also comfortable for users, meets new sustainable development demands and offers excellent economic profitability.

Pellenc is exclusively distributed in the UK by Etesia UK.

Three New Dealers for Etesia UK

Etesia continues to spread its wings to every corner of the UK after announcing another three dealers to its growing network.

Specialists in building high quality grass cutting machinery for both the professional and domestic market, Etesia’s extensive range of products are in high demand. It is for this reason that the company’s vast dealer network continues to grow. From the UK to Ireland, Etesia dealers are providing their customers with innovative solutions to their landscaping requirements.

Midlands Grounds Machinery (MGM), based in Solihull, will be Etesia UK’s recognised dealer for the West Midlands area. Offering professional support, sales and servicing for a wide range of lawnmowers and groundscare equipment, MGM was seen as a perfect fit for Etesia.

As well as selling Etesia’s walk-behind range, ride-on mowers and the popular Attila brush cutters, MGM has also embraced Etesia’s green technology ethos and will be stocking their range of robotic ETmowers.

Managing director, Dave Tullet, has worked within the groundscare industry for over 27 years and is optimistic about working with Etesia.

“We wanted to invest in serious, market leading machinery and Etesia seemed the perfect choice to offer our customers. They want quality machines and Etesia provides them with this. Having been in the industry a long time now, I’m confident that the Etesia range will be a great addition to MGM’s range of machinery and services.

“I’m particularly optimistic about the ETmowers. Not only will they be appealing to the commercial market but Solihull is an affluent area and the robotic mowers will be sought after for those large domestic gardens where they can take out the laborious chore of mowing whilst still providing a superior cut. They are also great for the environment.”

Revill Mowers, recently formed by Russell Revill and his nephew Jason, is the newly appointed Etesia dealer for Gloucestershire. Both Russell and Jason are trained mechanics and the family-run business will also be benefitted by Russell’s previous experience of dealing with Etesia.

“I’ve been dealing with Etesia for the past 20 years now and I used to sell the very first Hydro 100’s, which became the industry trend setter. That has continued over the years with everyone else copying various Etesia models.
“When we first set-up the company I was adamant that I wanted to be able to offer them to our customer base. A lot of our customers have dated machines, 10 or 15 years old now, so I’m hoping to convince them that they should be replaced with Etesia machines! They certainly won’t regret it,” said Russell.

Allans of Gillock will be covering the expansive area of Northern Scotland, offering Etesia machines to customers as far as the Orkney and Shetland Islands. The company, which has built a great reputation since being founded in 1980, believe that becoming an Etesia dealer is a step in the right direction.

“Up until now it is fair to say that we have mainly catered for the domestic market but we are looking to reach more into the commercial side of things. We wanted to have a slightly more upmarket range of machines available and this is where Etesia comes in. They are renowned for their quality and I believe this is the next step to where we are wanting to go,” said general manager Alan Gair.

3 Machines in 1 – Cut, Scarify and Collect

The Etesia Hydro 124 and Hydro 144 models, which are available with high-tip, ground tip or four-wheel-drive options are living proof you can have three machines in one working all-year round for you.

One minute they can be the best cut and collect ride-on mowers on the market, the next it they be a scarifier for use in sportsturf, parkland and amenity areas.

The scarifier attachment means that your investment goes a long way in dealing with a whole range of tasks – for which you would usually need to buy and store several machines.

The front-mounted scarifier attachment, which can be quickly fitted with no tools, has two fully-floating heads which allows it to follow ground contours. It has a working width of 1.25 metres and has been specifically designed for fast and effective coverage on large areas such as sports grounds and large ornamental lawns.

Debris can be collected in just one pass and working depths are variable. The units can also be lifted for transport between sites or retracted for passing through narrow entrances. Etesia is renowned for being able to cut and collect long or short grass efficiently without blocking, even in wet conditions, which also makes it ideal for long grass applications.

Other attachments are available such as mulching decks, deflectors, blowers, spreader, sweepers and snow blades making these models a 365-days-a-year workhorse for the maintenance of amenity turf, golf courses, parkland and large gardens.
