Bernhard reaches distribution agreement with Finch

 
b575fa92e92522369adb8b7abf1451ad-.jpgBernhard and Co., manufacturer of blade sharpening systems for turf mowing machines, recently entered into a distribution partnership with Finch Services.
 
One of the Mid-Atlantic's leading distributors, Finch has six locations throughout Maryland and Pennsylvania, and serves customers across Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Washington, D.C., and West Virginia. Family-owned and operated since 1945, the company was named John Deere's Distributor of the Year in 2013.
 
Next-day delivery on more than 100,000 parts is a company hallmark. Its first-class service department and myriad financing programs on virtually all makes and models also contribute to Finch's well-earned standing as a one-stop shop for all maintenance needs.
 
Finch Services carries a large selection of Bernard inventory, including the Express Dual and Anglemaster models.
 

Hunter adds new synthetic turf irrigation system

 
Hunter Industries recently released the new STK-6V, an enhanced version of its existing synthetic turf irrigation system to clean and cool synthetic sports turf. 
 
The STK-6V was designed specifically to provide easier installation, simple maintenance, and to accommodate different types of playing surfaces, the company says. Its shorter vault design provides a connection to the mainline at approximately 24 inches to 30 inches deep, which the company says is a much more manageable depth for installation and requires less digging.
 
In the new model, the rotor hangs from an adjustable bracket within the vault for precise adjustment to meet grade, and adjustable stands support the manifold, eliminating the need to backfill the vault with gravel for support.
 
The STK-6V includes a new 3-inch galvanized ductile iron assembly with heavy-duty grooved fittings for ease of servicing. The isolation valve and point of connection for the quick coupler are now inside the vault and provided with the field-installed assembly, for a total top service solution. The vault also includes a drain valve for easier servicing and winterization.
The core of the Hunter ST System features gear-driven long-range rotors, a heavy-duty manifold assembly, and low-pressure loss, slow-opening valves, with all components contained in a construction-grade vault for total top service and easy maintenance.
 
The STK-6V is configurable to accommodate synthetic turf over vault, non-infill tight turf over vault, running track, and concrete pad or walkway installations.
