Pitchcare Classifieds Product News A round-up of the latest product news announced in recent weeks
PitchPassport® 365 from Replay Maintenance is designed to provide full integration between the manufacturer, installer, maintainer and the facility, collating historical, current and predictive maintenance information for all types of synthetic surfaces.
Featuring online and offline functionality, all pertinent information and reports relating to the facility can be reported as the maintenance visit is taking place utilising live‐stream monitoring technology. The data can then be accessed securely, anywhere at anytime from your inbox or dedicated client portal app.
Engineered specifically for superior cutting performance, the Kubota ZD1211 is equipped with a three-blade, 140mm deep deck that is available with a rear discharge system and optional mulching kit, ideal for use in golf course rough and around trees.
Kubota’s unique baffling system significantly improves mulching performance by increasing airflow to create uniformed and neat swathes of clippings.
For improved and consistent cutting, operators can choose between oscillating or rigid front axles modes, dependant on mowing conditions. The oscillating mode is designed to seamlessly navigate any terrain, whilst the rigid mode offers uniformed cutting, regardless of ground conditions.
Powered by a three‐cylinder Kubota 18.5kw diesel engine, the ZD1211 features an HST transmission for smoother responses even in the toughest conditions. Its 49‐litre fuel tank, combined with its low fuel consumption, offers enhanced performance, cutting down the time expenditures usually necessary for fuelling.
Operator comfort is another key feature of this machine. Adjustable operating levers, thicker platform mat, deluxe high back suspension seat and elevated backrest/armrests ensure greater productivity whilst minimising fatigue.

Amongst the many key features is the usage calculator and heat mapping technology which uses an embedded algorithm to produce a dedicated map of the pitch, showing the high‐wear areas of the facility in question. The information gathered by the tool can then be used in‐house or by the external maintainer to ensure maintenance efforts are engaged effectively. This can also be used to diagnose and schedule maintenance to resolve potential issues before they become major concerns.
Through the app, the facility can view scheduled maintenance visits using the calendar function, including a thorough description of the work (to be) carried out and any job notes specific to the surface. The maintainer can then edit the job live from the site, submitting photos, documents or notes from their visit creating a comprehensive maintenance report. Another feature, ReplayRescue, gives the operator the ability to report any urgent matters instantly using a red or amber alert to highlight the need for further action.

bottom. Rain Bird has addressed the problem with its new XFCV Dripline irrigation system, featuring an integrated heavy duty 0.24 bar check valve and giving twice the hold back strength of alternative on‐surface dripline systems used on slopes.
Any landscape with a gradient creates pressure in irrigation lines at a rate of approximately 1 bar for every 10 metres of height. The XFCV’s integrated 0.24 bar check valve, with its silicon diaphragm, keeps water in the dripline at all times with up to 2.4 metres of hold back on a sloped landscape.
Until now, using drip irrigation on sloped landscapes has been problematical because of the pooling that can be caused at the bottom of the slope. This is because water continues to flow out at the lowest point after the drip system has been turned off and this can result in both soil erosion and drainage problems.
A dripline system is therefore needed that is kept effectively charged along the entire slope, whilst simultaneously stopping water escaping at the
150 I PC FEBRUARY/MARCH 2018
As a result, XFCV Dripline with the heavy duty check valve can be used in a single zone configuration to cover 2.4 metres of elevation without the need for additional in‐line check valves or the creation of additional irrigation zones. This, in turn, results in lower system design costs and shorter installation times. It also prevents over‐watering and helps to conserve water as it does not escape through pooling. This also eliminates having to refill the line at the start of each watering cycle.
The design of the XFCV Dripline’s grit tolerant pressure‐compensating low profile emitter design, each with a check valve, is also critical. It reduces in‐ line pressure losses and provides a consistent flow over the entire length of the dripline installation. This provides much better uniformity when irrigating the plants throughout a zone.

SCH (Supplies) Ltd have recently designed and manufactured a bowser/pressure washing unit for local authority use. The unit is fully road legal and features a 900 litre tank, baffled to minimise surge.
This special build version was designed with twin pumps ‐ one is for normal water transfer for hanging basket and bed watering. Using this pump, the bowser can also be used for fire‐fighting and first aid purposes.
The second pump converts the bowser to a pressure washer, with chemical injection facilities so the unit can be used for washing down and cleaning tasks.
The tank is fitted with a stop ballcock so that the unit can be left filling without supervision.
SCH can build many different sizes and configurations to suit customers exact needs.
