Turney Groundcare held their first Commercial Open Day in the picturesque surroundings at Oxford University Parks.
It was supported by many top-quality suppliers and attended by horticultural teams from the Oxford University Colleges, landscaping contractors and professionals, schools, and council customers.
On display on May 14 from Ransomes was AURORA, the first commercial battery-powered out-front rotary mower now ready to work in Turney’s demonstration fleet.
The event was the perfect setting to debut this machine to customers, and it could be seen cutting in action in the large demonstration area in the park.
The AURORA’s ELITE lithium technology is powered by Samsung SDI and has up to 80% lower running costs than other commercial counterparts.
There was a solid representation and customer interest in zero-turn mowers by Ariens and Hustler, with many customers having a go at mastering the technique.
Another strong presence was STIHL’s commercial team with a wide display of professional hedgecutters, strimmers, blowers, chainsaws, PPE, and mowers.
ISEKI had a strong line-up of their popular machines, including the TG tractor, SXG 327 ride-on cut and collect mower, and the Addax utility vehicle, which drew attention from many council customers.
Robotic technology was also a highlight, and Husqvarna had the Ceora and 580L EPOS professional robots working wirelessly and demonstrating the precise mowing required on golf courses.
Feedback from suppliers and customers who attended the event was overwhelmingly positive.
The day presented a fantastic opportunity to see the machines in person and a unique opportunity to try so many in one space.
