This October, over 200 dealers and media attended three ‘Discovery Days’ held by Barrus across the country - at Ripley Castle, Winkworth Farm in Malmesbury and A Day in the Country in Aynho.

Phil Noble, sales and technical manager, and his team unveiled a whole host of new products for the 2019 season from Barrus' brands including Cub Cadet, Lawnflite, WOLF-Garten, Wilkinson Sword, Town & Country and CEuk.

During the morning, dealers were walked through the new products and advised on the features and benefits. The afternoon was then spent with the opportunity to test the machines including taking Cub Cadet’s PRO Zero-Turns around a driving course.

Other new products from the company included the XR1 500, an entry level robotic model, and the new top of the range lawnmower the XM3 ER53, which will be making its public debut at Saltex on 31st October.

Lawnflite PRO was represented by its first hydrostatic roller mower, the 553HRSP-HST, which the company says is 50% faster than the high speed 553HRS-PROHS. This machine will also make its debut at Saltex along with the new range of Duracut and Procut lawnmowers from Rover.

As the exclusive distributor of GTM products, Barrus had an extensive display of products on show and for dealers to use. These included the Rattlewedge, a unique tree felling device and the Elephants Trunk 2, having both had launches at the APF show in September.

Finally, dealers could learn more about the professional range of Infinicut mowers from Cub Cadet. 

“We have been delighted with how our Discovery Days have been supported by our dealers. The array of new products we have launched across all our brands and market sectors have been very well received and we look forward to rolling these out to our dealer network in 2019,” said Phil Noble.
