Pitchcare Classifieds Product News A round-up of the latest product news announced in recent weeks


John Deere's new 3038E compact tractor is an economical and versatile machine suitable for a wide variety of customers, including landscape contractors, groundscare maintenance service providers, sports turf managers, rural property owners and equestrian operations.


The 3038E is equipped with a powerful, emissions‐ compliant Stage IV diesel engine developing 37.3hp. A hydrostatic transmission with Twin Touch foot pedals provides the operator with simple, comfortable controls to select exactly the right speed for the job at hand.


To meet the needs of groundcare professionals in terms of power, performance, convenience and wellbeing, EGO Power+ is launching its first dedicated range of commercial cordless tools.


Powered by the patented design of the 56V Arc Lithium battery system, which delivers the power of petrol without the petrol, the range comprises three high‐spec tools ‐ a hedge trimmer, a commercial line trimmer, and a blower. All offer super tough, low maintenance construction to help groundcare professionals work harder all‐day every day, even in the most challenging conditions.


All three new tools are packed with innovation. The hedge trimmer, for example, has blades that are made from laser‐cut steel with diamond‐ground edges to ensure a sharpness and cleanness of cut. Unlike other manufacturers they are then laser‐hardened to ensure they stay sharper for longer, even when cutting through the toughest hedge.


In an industry first, the brushcutter has a carbon fibre shaft which makes it more lightweight for ease of handling, but, even more importantly, it makes it extremely


Combined with power assisted steering, the Twin Touch pedals are intuitive and easy to use and enable the operator to maximise productivity. The tractor's independent pto can be engaged on the go, eliminating the need to stop and use the clutch. The 3038E also features an easy‐lift bonnet that provides wide‐open access to the engine bay for maintenance.


A new 300E front loader has been designed to complement the 3038E and features a curved boom and durable components.


Together with the tractor's tight turning circle, this offers a highly manoeuvrable combination for materials handling, whether working indoors or outdoors. Four‐wheel drive is available as standard for more demanding applications and difficult ground conditions.


The 3038E compact tractor also offers telescoping draft links as a factory or field installed option. This makes attaching and removing rear implements very easy and increases overall performance in the field. This option is compatible with a wide range of implements, including mowers, rear blades and posthole diggers.

As of March 2018, the barrier acting, total herbicide, Pistol®, from Bayer, will be labelled with two new extensions of use. These will include applications by CDA (Controlled Droplet


Applicator) as well as vehicle mounted sprayers, in addition to the current approval for knapsack application.


Treatments using a CDA allow for the herbicide to be applied


evenly and effectively, so that contractors are not required to use a large amount of adjuvant or water.


This greatly reduces the overall weight of herbicide operators need to carry and saves a significant amount of working time, as they won't need to continually stop to refill the tank.


Vehicle mounted applications were removed from the Pistol® label in 2015, but the Bayer regulatory team has worked hard to bring about renewed approval. This will ensure that users can cover large permeable areas such as car parks, in a shorter space of time.


strong. Where standard aluminium shafts bend or get damaged, this shaft stays strong to meet the day‐to‐day routine of handling, transporting and storing.


EGO is already renowned for producing extremely powerful blowers but the new professional blower takes performance to a whole new level. At its maximum, the blower can blow at a rate of 1079m3


/h with a speed


of 212km/h and a force of 20 newtons. Operational volume is incredibly low at just 80 decibels, meaning it can be used in even the most sensitive of areas without causing disruption


EGO will also launch a new backpack battery. With an IP rating of 56, this new battery is suitable for all weather conditions.


The EGO Power+ Commercial Range is launched in Spring/Summer 2018.
