PITCH & LINE MARKERS
I think to be fair ; the Turf Tank instantly ticked a lot of boxes for us . And it wasn ’ t just me , my team were there , and we tried other machines a week apart on the same pitch .

“ We ’ ve got some projects lined up this summer that we are going to do inhouse , and suddenly , that marker frees up two people , and we can put extra staff on the projects . That ’ s how we ’ ll use it as an aid and addition to the team to help plan workload and projects .”
With the Turf Tank One in place , Lee is looking to cut his marking hours by more than half . For him , this will increase pitch quality with additional aeration , cutting and finessing taking place . But choosing a robot and company that could provide everything he needed was critical .

“ I think to be fair ; the Turf Tank instantly ticked a lot of boxes for us . And it wasn ’ t just me , my team were there , and we tried other machines a week apart on the same pitch .
