TURF MANAGEMENT
Wiedenmann Terra Spike & Mega Twister duo working well for Cornwall contractor , Sandoe & Sons
C ontractors , Sandoe & Sons from Nanstallon , Bodmin purchased a Mega Twister blower and a Terra Spike GXi8 HD , a year apart , from Wiedenmann UK ’ s Cornwall dealer , Mason Kings . at St Columb Major .
The family-owned company is a three-way partnership of brothers Glyn and John , with father , Roger . Some of their work involves path clearance on each of The Camel Trail at Wadebridge , The Clay Trails of St Austell and Tolgus Mining Trails at Redruth . They are also building up a portfolio of turf maintenance clients .
In the hands of a good operator , the Mega Twister is particularly impressive ; knowing the different angles means you can peel off slippy leaves like wallpaper . It makes the process faster , with less wear on the equipment and fuel is preserved .”
Glyn Sandoe said : “ We ’ ve picked up additional work on the strength of how well a job we ’ ve been doing with the new equipment .
“ We use the Mega for blowing off mainly leaves and debris , but sometimes I ’ ll use it to displace fine mud or water . When we had snow , we used it then , too . “ If you give a surface a good hard blow off and sweep , it ’ s noticeably cleaner when you go back in the summer . In the hands of a good operator , the Mega Twister is particularly impressive ; knowing the different angles means you can peel off slippy leaves like wallpaper . It makes the process faster , with less wear on the equipment and fuel is preserved .”
“ Our Terra Spike had a great first season and word has spread that we are available for sports turf as well as private estate contracts . The neatness and uniformity of holes always pleases the client but for me , and the rest of the team , the smoothness and easy set up with the GXi8 is everything . The operator and the tractor are protected by three different shock absorbing features so spending a whole day in the cab is a pleasure .”
