L-R: EGRFC Chairman Bob Marsh and Steve Everton, Yeowart Agricultural Ltd sales manager
The new tractor will be used to manage and maintain three full-size pitches covering a total of 14 acres.
Chairman of EGRFC Bob Marsh is responsible for the operational management of the club as a business. He said, “The TLE4490 provides us with the capability to manage all of our own land. We are now able to mow, verti-drain and aerate our pitches without the need for dedicated machines for each job. The tractor provides us with the flexibility to hire in other equipment or attachments using our own power source.
The Iseki TLE4490 is part of the wider TLE series of compact tractors from Iseki. It features a 46hp water-cooled diesel engine and utilises an 8Fx8R mechanical drive transmission system. Three-point linkage with 1200kg lift capacity and one double-acting hydraulic service are equipped as standard, and the option of turf or agricultural tyres is provided.
“It’s what I like to call “a proper tractor.” It’s powerful, intuitive and easy-to-use, and most of all, it’s a simple tractor that is effective at doing the job that is required of it. We are delighted to be the first recipients in Europe of this fantastic machine."
