Blade Machinery says that, after exhibiting the Bannerman range of lawn care equipment at the Executive Hire Show, the brand has seen a considerable increase in sales within the hire market.

Machines available include the BA-4 self-propelled turf aerator, designed to be robust enough to withstand tough usage, and which can be fitted with four different tine configurations, including closed/open core tines, fracture tines, a slitter blade and a spiker reel.

Recognising that access to gardens can be difficult in many new-build and extended properties, a slim-line version of the BA-4 has been added to the range, measuring 60cm wide and with a working width of 41cm. For details visit www.blademachinery.co.uk
