Product Update
A round-up of the latest product news announced in recent weeks
To meet the increasing demand for conservation mixtures and environmental areas within both sports venues and amenity land, DLF have expanded their range of wildflower mixtures.
The Pro Flora collection, each designed to recreate a particular habitat or suit specific site and soil conditions, now contains 14 UK native mixtures thanks to the addition of Pro Flora 13 and Pro Flora 14 for 2020. The non-native Colour Boost wildflower range has also been extended, from three mixtures to six.
SCH’s new broadcast spreader (ref: GAM73) features a 73L hopper and is ideal for fertiliser, seed and salt.
As you tow the broadcaster, its wheels drive an all-metal gearbox, which in turn drives the spreading disc. The two wide-profile turf tyres give a high grip while being gentle on grass surfaces.
The spread width is 3-10 metres depending on the forward speed of your towing vehicle. An adjuster lever is within reach of the driver’s seat, which meters the correct amount of product to broadcast.
This model is ideal for broadcasting fertilisers and seed on grass surfaces and can cover up to 0.5 hectares per hour. To spread salt on car parks and paths, a Salt Conversion Kit (ref: GAMSCK) featuring a stainless steel agitator and a galvanised steel deflection guard is available.
If you intend to spread salt predominantly, a galvanised version is available (ref: GAM73GALV). This broadcaster benefits from a galvanised hopper, stainless steel flow control and a fully stainless steel spreading disc for increased corrosion resistance.

The Series 4 is the latest Pegasus model from Trimax Mowing Systems. It is the lowest maintenance version of this trailed mower along with being an extremely efficient machine with its wide cutting widths (4.9m and 6m), with mowing speeds of up to 10mph on flat terrain.
In addition, Trimax has now engineered a revolutionary new lift system, setting new standards of safety and functionality.
The new Drive Protect safety system is standard on all Pegasus S4 lift options. Fully electronic, it features built-in sensors to prevent the mowing decks from lifting in unsafe conditions, or until the blades have ceased spinning.
The sensors also prevent the decks from lifting if the PTO is still engaged. This prevents damage to the machine, prolongs overall life span and significantly reduces downtime.
As demand for improved biodiversity on all major landscape projects grows, Pro Flora 13 species-rich lawn and landscape mixture has been developed to contain 20% native origin wildflowers with 80% fine-leaved, low-growing grasses. This mixture massively increases the species count and diversity per m2
STIGA has developed two new machines which are powered by the next-generation 500 Series System synchronised battery system.
This innovation ensures quiet, emission-free operation with minimal maintenance requirements, therefore offering the most neighbourhood and environmentally-friendly lawnmowers on the market! The high- performance batteries work in sync, balancing the different charges for greater independence and extended run-times.
COMBI 43 Q DAE compared to
a standard lawn mix. In addition, the flexibility of maintenance makes it suitable for more intensively managed areas, as well as conventionally managed grasslands that receive just one or two cuts a year. The greater amount of time between cuts sees a greater number of species flower, providing additional benefits to pollenating insects.
Also new for 2020, Pro Flora 14 - tall herb and tussock mix - uses species with varying heights and structures to create habitat for a wider range of insects, small mammals, amphibians and reptiles. Tall herb grassland provides a vital pollen and nectar source late into the year to sustain invertebrates, in turn providing a food source for birds and predators higher up the food chain. These taller growing species can help to visually blend more traditional parkland/meadow mixtures with woodland and natural scrub, and should be maintained in sections to retain the essential habitat that has been created.
Wildflower mixes are available from the Pitchcare shop
