so i'm here with mate mick from mixed mowers he paid me to say that
now or 10 or later 10 20. i don't know about 20. i don't know i should have peeked we've
got pete here as well everyone knows pete pete fraud everybody pete for out it's all right so
we've here come to soltex today to have a look around see what's going on and have a bit of
adventure it's a day out i've come for freebies it's all right come from well we guessed you would
you know we know you're the free going to be named as a freebie hound of soul text
something to give away send it to our american friends yeah
we have come to the right place anyway we took a shortcut because we didn't want to walk around the
whole way or drive a parking sail safety pound on the parking every pound matters doesn't it
look at this should be good it's free right guys so we've come here to soltex today we
have escaped devon will and i have come up to film what's going on on this show if any of
our american friends are watching this is very very similar to gie but this is the uk version
probably not quite as big as what you guys get over there but it's still pretty impressive
we're here at the entrance we're just about to go in there's some exciting new products to see and
i think the main thing we're going to see today is what ego have produced because not only from
the ego brands themselves and what they're making but also where other brands have now adopted their
battery system so that's going to be a big thing for this video what we're going through and having
a look at we're going to go around all the stands see what's going on see what's new let's crack on
it's got a honda fireblade engine in it that is awesome but we are on one of our projects we are
going to build a fast mower at some point so make sure you subscribe so you don't miss that video
because that's going to be pretty awesome that's cool that's a baboon but this isn't something i
was expecting to see here today but it is the new milwaukee battery-powered obviously lawnmower yes
the 21-inch mower which is going to be launched in 2022 and we are lucky enough to see it it's in a
glass box we're not allowed to touch it but there it is can't wait to see that very exciting times
so who's your favorite milwaukee dealer in the country haze machinery you heard it here
right so we're not a hustler dealer but hustler is obviously massive in the states so that will come
over to have a look at the stand and they do this little itty bitty zero turn it's 34 inches wide
and it's built like a brick outhouse it's a beautiful looking little machine i quite fancy
it i really like it because there's nothing you know zero turns normally big wide machines which
you can't you know get through small areas and because being in the uk we've got lots of small
areas so i got permission from hustle guys just have a little seat on it and see how small it is
because it's really cute anyway i better get off before everyone else thinks they can have a go
interesting looking machine so who's your favorite dealer mark it's his machinery well i think he's
bang on the money so we stood here in front of the alet stand because they're just about to reveal
a new product i already know what is in store for this new product and it has something to do
with what we already supply so we're going to go over there now and wait for them to
pull off the curtain off that machine and see what they've got in store for them let's go
so yeah guys you can see that that new alert mower is powered by ego it's even
got the same ego handles as all the other ego mowers you see the new ala moa is kitted out
with an ego battery platform so the mower is now powered by ego batteries which is great for us
obviously you know we know we love the ego we've got lots of equipment powered by ego but now with
this revelation of a cylinder motor powered by an eager battery system it begs the question are ego
turning into the new bricks and stratton honda engines that you are familiar with being powered
all these products ego has taken the storm by being the front setter for all of these products
to be able to be powered by the same platform so guys who's the best dealer you've seen here today
they got it right so without a doubt here at soltex the in thing is battery-powered
equipment as you can see there's another battery-powered ride on there by campy turf
going around in their eco village which is new for soltex this year
i just want the rugby ball that's all i want just want the rugby ball
i don't want the loader who wants a loader to be fair i love these little things obviously we
don't get involved in bigger stuff to be honest i thought i might find mick beside this stand
trying to do a deal on an old cylinder mower because you know how much he loves this little
mower good old mix mowers if you haven't checked him out watch his youtube channel
he's a legend he's a star he's a great cat great guy check him out he likes that sort of stuff
so we've come over to the psd stand because it's a more ego exciting news because as motor fantastic
brand you probably see some videos of that we've already done on our channel have now integrated
the ego battery platform into their products yes the ego battery is now on as motor products
as we lift up the lid here somewhere there we go you'll see the familiar ego battery you're seeing
on many other products that we've done on our channel as well as on our website the ais now have
battery-powered gear all powered by the ego platform another tick in the boxer ego so
we've already got lots of videos planned to put these as machines through their paces so
make sure you subscribe to our channel so you don't miss out on those coming in the future
so i'm here with ian small from briggs and stratton uk and ian anything you'd like to add yes
please subscribe to hayes machinery thank you very much ian so as you would have probably seen we've
already done a video on the xz7 down at a local rugby club which is absolutely fantastic mower
but there is something bigger and better coming to cub cadet in the uk what is it yes it is a z9
absolute weapon look at it here on display on the nice slope is a machine which anyone is
going to really really enjoy driving but i can't really confirm that until we get on demonstration
in the next video that we're going to be doing with cub cadet it's going to be a fantastic
video so adam what do you think everyone watching this video should do subscribe to
haze machinery bang old well it feels a little bit uneasy on this slope but you do feel quite
safe it's really nice and i'm sure cub cadet won't mind me doing this although i'm probably
sure if they catch me they'll cringe a little there we go i better get off before i get caught
so we're haze machinery please subscribe it's a great channel
so there seems to be something rather large flashing behind me no it's not mick it is the sea
aura husqvarna sierra the large area robotic mower which is coming to the market in here in the uk in
2022 it's a very special machine it's a nice size and it's going to be able to cover up to 18 acres
of rough or 12 acres of fine turf if you haven't already seen the video we've done of this mower
please check out that one on our channel it's very good it's very informative there's lots
of information that i can't even remember now because we read a script but anyway i'm going
to show you how it lifts up on the front for service position because i've been shown how
to do it already so i'm going to just wing that so in here you got a little lever you pull down pull
that one down there and then you pull that around i know how easy is that nice and easy come here
clean it change your blades perfect but we are going to be doing this moment from next year and
we're going to be doing some more videos on it so please subscribe please subscribe please subscribe
i think you've got a good way of saying it please subscribe um
that's cool there's no getting away from that
anti-gravity battery it's how light they are they're just amazing just grab it can i
i shouldn't be touching this i'm sure i'll get told off in a minute but hopefully not who knows
if you haven't already seen us doing a video on this machine we were the first dealer
in the country to get hold of one our video is pretty cool on that we have a lot of fun with it
and show you what a battery zero turn mower can do and this one is very very special so ian we
are here on the ego stand what is the best thing that has happened at saltex so far for you today
customers customers the customers are the best things customers
ian likes customers that is the best thing that's happened for ian
thank you no worries would you give anyone any advice for the future what would it be buy ego
there we go so if you haven't got an ego buy you go i'm not gonna say anything else no
probably here we have a really nice big suitcase yeah a big solid case with ego written on it
what is it what is it for well let's open it up and see what's inside because very exciting
i've been waiting for one of these for a long time but we now have a sixth bank battery charger so
you can charge all six batteries at one time yet before we can only charge one battery and
you've got to change the batteries for another battery but now the big six bank charger is here
to be able to charge them all at once it's very very simple you've got the 1600 watt charger here
which is the same as the z6 which is the zero turn right on ego do if you haven't watched our video
that make sure you check that out and all you have to do once you've got your and then there plug it
in there and it starts charging very very simple nice and easy you can have those six batteries in
the back of your van or somewhere else on your property wheel it round on the little wheels on
the back and charge them all at once and then once they're charged pop them back in the van
again and crack on with the next day big win for ego we really like it you need one of these
just brilliant love it so you'll be familiar that ego make lots of different products chainsaws
hedge trimmers streamers lawn mowers all that different range and obviously we've done the
video on the new ego z6 zero turn mower which is amazing the ego are taking it to the next level
they are now putting their power packs and power units and battery systems into other manufacturers
products so the question is are they going to be the new honda bricks and stratton or lonsin
equivalent for powering products let's explain so here we have an as motor rotary mower beautiful
machines absolutely amazing german engineered they are very very good quality and they are aimed at
the commercial market but on top you've got the ego power plant engine however you want to look
at it but it's not an engine it's not powered by petrol it is powered by the ego battery platform
so this on top here is pretty much what you would have as a normal engine you know it's the size of
an engine it's the same size as what you get from a honda or brooks and stratton sort of equivalent
it's pushing out approximately 200 cc so you can generally gauge what sort of power that's going
to be able to give you compared to other modes on the market here we have the alec new cylinder
which has been launched here at soltax today and again that is running the ego power base they've
also adopted the ego handles that you're familiar with on the other lawn mowers but what they've got
here is you can put the ego battery range into their product so now you can take your battery
out your streamer and put it in your cylinder mower or put it into your commercial mower if
your commercial mowing where does that lead where does that go well this is the engine unit and
underneath it would look very familiar to what you already see from honda briggs and stratton lonson
whoever it might be you've got a crankshaft coming out the bottom which is obviously
inside the aluminium housing here you've got the motor inside and then you've got your battery
positions on the back where you can put all the either the batteries you've already got
or all the other ego batteries within it so there you have a battery platform system
to be able to do pretty much an engine swap on your current mower so if your engine dies or
runs out of oil or whatever it might be while you're replacing it this now can be the power
plant that you can put on your mower i think that's pretty cool i think it's amazing that
ego have done this already and there's going to be a lot more products i believe in the future which
are going to have this ego system on top of them but time will tell so we're stood here with john
ryan the founder of lawn care legends which is a fantastic facebook group that you must check out
