Etesia Launch New Hydro 100 Model

/in /by

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 Offer Three Year Warranty on All Machines

/in /by

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

/in /by

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

/in /by

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.

Seeing is believing for ‘nicenstripy’

/in /by

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.

Etesia Produces Last Hydro 100 MVEHH

/in /by

An Etesia ride-on mower recently marked a significant milestone in the company’s history as the last ever Hydro 100 MVEHH rolled off the production line in France.

The Hydro 100 made its revolutionary appearance back in 1989 as the first ride-on mower with direct ejection and integrated collection. This new concept took the market by storm and was emulated by many competitors’ years later. After more than twenty years and several facelifts, Etesia has now produced the last ever Hydro 100 MVEHH machine in this range; with a brand new model being launched in April 2015.

With a more powerful Kawasaki engine, a new transmission with a differential locking system and a unique new design, the company are promising that the new model will be another industry favourite for years to come.

Other features will include a lighter steering system and larger petrol tank – combined with the improved higher speed will mean that the new model will be able to go faster for longer.

Available at the same price as the previous Hydro 100 MVEHH, the new ride-on mower model is expected to be in high demand when it reaches the UK market later this year.

Etesia UK Win Services to Industry Award

/in /by

Etesia UK, market leaders in building high quality grass cutting machinery, has recently been recognised for its commitment to the horticulture industry by receiving an award at the recent Party for Perennial.

The event, which was held at The Roof Gardens in Kensington, London, saw over 300 people from across the industry attend the charity’s party, who have been helping horticulturists since 1839. It was a great opportunity to not only raise funds for the charity to enable it to continue undertaking the excellent work it does, but also to recognise those who have been influential in supporting the charity and raising the profile of the industry.

Catering for both the professional and domestic market, Etesia UK has grown rapidly over recent years and products that include a variety of walk behind, ride-on mowers and the popular Attila range of brush cutters are extremely popular within the groundcare and amenity markets.

Etesia UK was also influential in organising and promoting a charity event which raised over £6,500 for the national charity. The event, called Mowerthon, saw Phil Voice of the Landscape Juice Network website driving an Etesia ride-on lawn mower 1,250 miles from Bergerac in France all the way to John O’Groats in Scotland.

Commenting on the award, Etesia UK’s operations director Les Malin said: “We are delighted to have been awarded this from such a great charity who is working wonders across the industry.”
