EPS and Pasquali at Saltex 2012
Electric Powered Solutions (EPS) is a branch of the well established Pasquali Tractors UK and both brands were displayed at Saltex. Designed for highway maintenance, the Zanon TMO 1500 is a multi-purpose verge mower that is adaptable from any lateral position for cutting verges to extendable vertical positions for hedge and plant cuttings. The standard machine includes flails or knives and height adjustable skids, a height adjustable levelling roller, accident prevention protection and adjustable belt tightener. It operates within a 40hp to 80hp band.
Pasquali EOS tractors are isodiametric with a central articulation and available in mono-directional or reversible versions. They are extremely compact with a low profile and feature a constant drive that optimises the power transmitted to the wheels.
This, combined with a compact and secure alignment, allow the machines to be used on every type of terrain across the widest range of cultivations, from steep slopes to orchards, vineyards, greenhouses and generally where it is vital to achieve optimum manoeuvrability. The EOS 6.65 was displayed.
The XB40 is a two wheel tractor with a gearbox giving the operator 3 forward and 3 reverse speeds, with a quick reverser for change of direction. This tractor has been specifically designed to optimise the quality/price ratio and versatility is the primary feature of the XB40 which was on show with a Zanon rotary mower.
