Richard Peel Groundcare have taken delivery of an Infinicut FX pedestrian mower, complete with an UltraGroomer cassette from the TMSystem range, to help deliver on a brand-new bowls maintenance contract.

Undertaking pitch maintenance and renovations for football clubs at all levels, owner Richard Peel said, “We’d had always been impressed with the Infinicut when we had seen it at industry trade shows and it was clear from posts on social media that it was going to tick a lot of boxes for us.”

After a successful demonstration, Richard took delivery of his new mower in June 2020, from local dealer Balmers GM. “From an environmental point of view, the battery is major plus - not just as a cleaner source of energy, but the reduction in noise and vibration issues for the operator. HAV is a massive industry-wide issue, causing long-lasting damage to those using machinery on a daily basis. It’s something I’m really passionate about reducing with every piece of equipment I buy.”

One operative on Richard’s team takes care of the eight greens they now maintain, each cut twice a week. “I’ve received nothing but positive feedback, particularly how lightweight the unit is, how easy it is to set-up, adjust and control and the fantastic cut quality.

"We also purchased the UltraGroomer cassette which we will use on the greens once a month, to keep on top of any lateral growth and thatch accumulations. This should mean we won’t then have to conduct more invasive removal operations come the end of the season.”

Delighted with his purchase, Richard concludes, “This combination of equipment now puts us in the best position to keep the greens healthy, playing well and looking at their best throughout the year.”
