Overall Winner: Ransomes Jacobsen Ltd for the Ransomes HR3300T Outfront Rotary Mower

"The Ransomes HR 3300T is specifically designed for the UK and European municipal and contractor market. By utilising three, independent hydraulic deck motors the mower eliminates 'lazy blade' syndrome, which is caused by slippage on belt-driven decks. Blade tip speed is constant, which improves the quality of cut and overall performance of the mowing deck. Noise and vibration is reduced to just 85.5 dB at ear level."

Machinery Award: Wiedenmann UK for the Heather Management System

"Wiedenmann's Heather Managment System enables cutting that is much kinder to heather on golf courses etc, as well as making it much easier, cheaper and cleaner to harvest heather seed than before. Instead of a flail mower which rips out heather plants, Wiedenmann's system uses the Super Pro TXL rotary mower specifically adapted to cut grass at 200mm growing above the heather. Debris is sucked away to MCS collector."
