DJ TURFCARE launches the tough new BUSHRANGER EDGER for turf professionals at IOG SALTEX this year.

Aimed primarily at local authorities and those looking after large landscaped areas, the Bushranger Edger is ideal for producing razor sharp edges, especially up close to paving.

The Commonwealth War Graves Commission finds the Bushranger can cope with the demanding conditions found in war cemeteries where immaculate conditions and neat edges are imperative.

Manufactured by Powerup Lawncare Products of Australia, the Bushranger is powered by a Kawasaki 98cc engine producing 3hp and has a single tough blade which is designed for high-wear and easy maintenance.

Wheel-guided for accuracy and stability, the Bushranger Edger has simple-to-use controls that reduce operator fatigue during long periods of use.


The Bushranger Edger will be seen for the first time at IOG SALTEX.

Also on the DJ TURFCARE stand will be the Atom Bunker Edger for golf greenkeepers and Atom Lawn Edgers for domestic users, plus Plugger pedestrian aerators and the Viano organic fertiliser range.

Grounds professionals will also see MOSSGO, a unique proven liquid which quickly and effectively removes moss, algae and lichen from hard surfaces - including all-weather artificial sport surfaces - eliminating increasingly difficult problems for grounds managers.

The Viano range includes RECOVERY, formulated to help turf overcome stressful conditions associated with drought, flood or overplay.

It is an ideal autumn or spring fertiliser to give grass a boost to recover from long hot dry conditions, or cold wet winter weather.

Containing Humifirst, a natural ingredient which creates biological activity and acts as a plant growth stimulant, RECOVERY (NPK 8-6-13) also contains magnesium and this combination gives grass the ability to bounce back from stress, including hard wear and scarification.

BIO-LIME is an ideal autumn and winter fertiliser for combating a low pH, sweetening the soil to make it less acid and encouraging healthy strong grass growth - while creating an environment which discourages moss invasion.

Uniquely, it contains a natural bacteria which eats thatch and dead moss, opening up the turf and helping to eliminate the need to rake or scarify.  Magnesium in BIO-LIME helps to maintain a healthy sward and provides good colour through the winter months.

The Viano range also includes the BTME award-winning MO BACTER – the turf fertiliser which eliminates moss and eradicates debris by bacterial action.
