TURF MANAGEMENT
Since then , Tony has purchased the larger 62hp L2622 equipped with forks , and the smaller B2261 compact tractor from Richard Lucas at Hunts Engineering – the latter delivered in August 2023 . “ The L2622 is big and powerful , making light work of towing our large-area mower to cut big spaces quickly . Any deliveries we get , the L2622 is there to unload and move materials around the site . It get ’ s a lot of use … even coming in to lift the trebuchet recently when the winch failed !”
“ The B2261 is another great bit of kit that can get to all the areas the larger tractors can ’ t , towing smaller mowers and will be loaned to the jousting team to operate the grading equipment used to level the arena .”
“
With Kubota we know we ’ re going to get userfriendly and well-built bits of equipment , powered by good engines and that ultimately do a good job .
Complementing the fleet of tractors and providing the solution for embankment mowing and cutting in wet conditions , is an F3890 from Kubota ’ s F-Series . With a 60 ” rotary deck , rear discharge and auto-assist 4wd as standard , it brings Kubota finesse and reliability to even the most demanding of mowing operations . “ This is used on all the formal areas where it ’ s more challenging to manoeuvre a tractor , as well as around the many obstacles within the glamping site . We use this wherever we can , our moat ditch and the riverbank are another couple of examples , and it leaves a fantastic finish whether it ’ s wet or dry .”
Tony concludes , “ With Kubota we know we ’ re going to get userfriendly and well-built bits of equipment , powered by good engines and that ultimately do a good job . The support we ’ ve received from Hunts Engineering has also been first-class , with outstanding responsiveness from Richard and the team whenever we ’ ve had a question or query . It ticks every box for us .”
