One of the region’s most successful grass machinery specialists has teamed up with German firm ‘Kress’ in a move that has the potential to transform how homeowners maintain their lawns and gardens. 

Speaking to The Avondhu this week, proprietor of ‘Tadie’s Plant Hire & Grass Machinery, Tadie White, predicts the development of robotic lawnmowers and battery operated garden equipment (strimmers, hedge trimmers, blowers, lawnmowers and even chainsaws) will revolutionise grass cutting and grass maintenance. 

“The future of grass cutting has arrived, these ‘Kress’ machines are going to change the scene completely, the future of grass cutting won’t rely on petrol, diesel and oil, it will centre around, fast charging battery operated machines, that will use the very latest technology” he says. 

‘KRESS’ – A COMPANY WITH NEARLY A CENTURY OF EXPERTISE BEHIND IT

Tadie’s Plant Hire & Grass Machinery stock an extensive range of ‘Kress’ appliances. Founded by Christian Kress in 1928, this company is internationally recognised as a market leader in robot lawnmowers, fuel-free lawnmowers and cordless, portable power tools. As a result of continued research and development, its entire range of lawnmowers, strimmers, hedge trimmers, brush cutters, blowers and chainsaws are high performing, low maintenance, battery operated devices that save you money, lower your repair bills and have zero emissions. 

‘KRESS’ – A MACHINE AND MACHINERY MANUFACTURER THAT HAVE NEVER MADE AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

Since modern machines replaced ‘horse power’, the emphasis has been on burning petrol and diesel to power vehicles and appliances. With increasingly dire warnings about the impact these fossil fuels are having on our environment, there’s a growing realisation that ‘carbon’ must be phased out. ‘Kress’ have seen the writing on the wall and are very much ahead of the curve. The result is a company who export environmentally friendly products to over 60 countries. 

WHAT PURCHASING A ‘KRESS’ MACHINE WILL MEAN FOR YOU

Operating a successful shop and workshop from their Araglin Road (Mitchelstown) base, Tadie’s Plant Hire & Grass Machinery are one of the largest grass cutting contractors in The Avondhu region. They maintain lawns, grassland and recreational spaces in numerous villages and town, with an especially strong presence in Kilworth.

The decision to link up with ‘Kress’ is based on a realisation that fossil fuels don’t have a future and that price conscious consumers will be won over by the reliability and performance of ‘Kress’ machinery. Other facts that can’t be disputed are that petrol and diesel prices will continue to increase. A regular charge of a ‘Kress’ device costs approximately 8 cents.
