Turf · Synthetic turf

Made in France

A 2025 international study published by Linköping University in ScienceDirect shows that Buky One cuts the carbon footprint of synthetic pitch maintenance by up to 50% over ten years, while actively extending the pitch's life and preserving its performance. Researchers recommend the electric robotic solution over diesel tractors.

Is your tractor really the right tool?

Buky is a precision machine that protects your surface, where a tractor acts as brute force — speed, weight, turning. What is being compared is not the mowing: it is how long the pitch lasts.

  • BUKY ONE — autonomous

    It runs on its own, with no driver. It can work at night or early morning, unsupervised.

    Tractor — with a driver

    Needs a dedicated technician, which ties the work to office hours and to how that person drives.

  • Always available

    The pitch is always ready. Interventions are short and do not stop play.

    Pitch out of use

    Tractor maintenance means closing the pitch for several hours, disrupting clubs and schools.

  • Zero emissions, silent

    100% electric: it can work in town or at night with no noise and no pollution.

    Noisy and polluting

    A loud combustion engine emitting CO₂, which limits when it can run. Servicing, overhauls and insurance on top.

A synthetic pitch needs upkeep too

A synthetic pitch needs upkeep too

It is a playing surface, and it deserves the same care as any other. Without upkeep, four things happen — and none of them can be undone.

  • The injury risk rises

    Under foot traffic the infill compacts. The pitch hardens, which increases joint trauma and friction burns in tackles.

  • Loss of certification

    FIFA and the rugby federations set strict criteria on ball rebound, surface give and rotational resistance. A neglected pitch can lose its certification.

  • The drainage clogs

    Dust, pollution and plant debris close the pores of the carpet. Water no longer drains away and the pitch becomes unplayable at the first shower.

  • The lifespan is halved

    Properly maintained, a synthetic pitch lasts ten to twelve years. Without upkeep the fibre flattens and breaks, and the pitch is replaced after five or six.

Precision, where a tractor is brute force

Precision, where a tractor is brute force

The BUKY protects the infrastructure. A tractor — through its speed, its weight and its turns — acts on the carpet like a repeated injury.

  • The brush that decompacts

    It opens up the infill and brings debris to the surface without tearing the fibre, then collects it instead of pushing it further along.

  • Autonomous, with no driver

    The robot works alone, electrically, where a tractor ties up a member of staff and a diesel engine.

  • The Linköping study

    It shows that the BUKY ONE actively helps extend the life of synthetic pitches and preserve their performance.

  • Up to 50 % less carbon

    Over ten years of upkeep, compared with a diesel tractor. The researchers recommend the electric robotic solution.

The questions we are asked

Who repairs the machine when it fails?
Our technicians, at your site. 96% of our robots are repaired on site: the technician arrives in a workshop van with the parts on board, and the machine goes back to work instead of going back to the factory. Under an HEXAFIX Unlimited contract, a loan machine arrives within 48 to 72 hours of downtime.
What is the warranty?
Two years from the manufacturer on robots, up to 1,200 running hours, and twelve months on other equipment. Wear parts — filters, brushes, tracks, belts, cables — are covered for six months. Spare parts and repair remain assured long after a product goes on sale.
Must we buy it, or can we rent?
Either. HEXABOX Annual is a long-term rental over 48 or 60 months, maintenance included, with unlimited parts, labour and call-outs. HEXABOX Season covers 3 to 6 months a year for 4 or 5 years, and we take the robot back to winter it between seasons.
Can we see it working before deciding?
Yes, and it is free. We come to your site with the machine for a demonstration in real conditions — your pool, your pitch, your floor. There are films shot on site too, but nothing beats the machine in your own facility.
Who trains our staff?
We do, at commissioning and then continuously. Our teams train your operators in good practice and your technicians from level 1 to level 3. On top of that there is a video tutorial platform and visual material to put on the wall, so the instructions stay when the team changes.
