Pellenc has launched the Selion C21 HD chainsaw – the lightest professional pruner on the market at just 2kgs.

Pruning requires specialised knowledge and suitable equipment. Pellenc offers arborists a model that will meet their expectations in terms of weight, balance, manoeuvrability, and power. Equipped with numerous innovations, the new Selion C21 HD chainsaw has an exceptional power to weight ratio and allows you to work without noise pollution, without pollution and with unmatched working comfort.

Four innovative safety features include:

• Kick-back sensor with electronic start-up. It instantly triggers an electric chain brake in the event of a fall or kickback, and is 8 times more rapid than a petrol-operated chainsaw chain brake.
• The low kickback Oregon chains. The rebound effect, if it occurs, will be much less violent than on a conventional chain saw.
• Self-diagnostic system of the tool. The Selion verifies that the electronic kickback sensor is operational upon first use, if it is, the machine will operate!
• Start-up trigger. Double press start-up prevents accidental operation of the saw.

As with all other Pellenc products, the Selion C21 HD chainsaw 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 when fitted with the Poly 5 ULiB battery.

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.

All Pellenc tools now come with a comprehensive three year commercial warranty as standard.

Pellenc is sold exclusively in the UK by Etesia UK.

Etesia has launched the new Hydro 100 III ride-on mower; which marks the era of a new line for the Etesia ride-on models.

What is immediately striking about the new H100 III is its new look – A front which is more aggressive and more expressive with tight lines and integrated side body panels for a streamline look.

While it capitalises on the strengths of the previous model, the new Etesia Hydro 100 III ride-on mower is innovative, offering commercial users even greater efficiency and operator comfort. The Hydro 100 III is derived from a unique concept to allow mowing and collection in all weather conditions; meaning it is the perfect mower for professional users who demand the ultimate machine for extreme mowing and collection requirements.

It has a new powerful 18HP Kawasaki engine, and a large 500-litre grass box that can be emptied in seconds thanks to its hydraulic tipping – The Hydro 100 III is a model that goes beyond existing standards.

New features include:

• New engine for more power
• New steering system for greater comfort
• New transmission for better productivity
• A differential lock for better traction
• A larger fuel tank for longer running time

The new H100 III boasts a modern hydraulic drive transmission with differential lock for improved traction and drivability. Its 18 HP twin-cylinder Kawasaki engine and its larger 14-litre fuel tank give it more power and range. The cutting deck with rear central ejection combined with two counter-rotating blades, while the high-clearance bridge and the large box make it an undisputed standard-setter for mowing and collection.

Thanks to its new look, the Hydro 100 III cutting deck provides the user with a machine capable of providing the perfect mix – 100% effective collection or mulching, giving you the best of both functions. The optional mulching insert can be set up in a few seconds without any tools allowing you to mulch with an unmatched quality.

The hydro 100 III is available with a range of accessories allow it to be active throughout the year undertaking various applications which include mowing with collection, mowing, mulching, spreading, towing and road cleaning. It is a true multi-functional professional user machine.

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.

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.

Around twenty franchisees from gardening services company ‘nicenstripy’ visited Etesia UK’s headquarters in Oxfordshire to find out more about the company and its market leading products.

Established in 1996, ‘nicenstripy’ had a vision to change the gardening industry. Founders of the company wanted to design a business that met the demand for a reliable, professional service that still had the friendly, trustworthy face of the local gardener. As a result, ‘nicenstripy’ have established themselves as a market leader in the domestic gardening market.

The company’s philosophy of investing in the best equipment has helped form their success and it is for this very reason that ‘nicenstripy’ expressed an interest in Etesia’s products. Renowned for being that one step ahead, Etesia has always been the first to bring ground-breaking machinery to the market and set a benchmark for others to follow.

nicenstripy’ registered their interest to Etesia dealer South East Groundcare Machinery in Sussex and the insightful day was soon arranged.

The ‘nicenstripy’ franchisees learned about the history of the company and the intriguing story as to how it all began. They were then delivered a presentation on the advances in technology, an overview of current Etesia equipment and a sneak preview of the new products which will be launched later this year. The day was rounded off with the franchisees being given the opportunity to get hands on with some of Etesia’s machinery.

If you feel that your company could benefit from a day at Etesia UK’s headquarters then call 01295 680120 or visit www.etesia.co.uk
