SPORTS PITCHES
At the training ground , the delivery of an L2-622 from dealers George Browns Ltd in October 2022 is delivering even more versatility “ We ’ re yet to find anything we can ’ t do with this tractor ! Together with powering implements , the forks and bucket are invaluable for moving pallets around , managing deliveries or loading topdressing into our spreader . It makes every task quicker and easier .”
“ The cruise control feature on the Kubota L2-622 is especially important when we ’ re aerating at the training ground as , by setting the speed , we get consistency across all the surfaces ” he adds . “ It ’ s also incredibly user-friendly to operate which is important to aid the training and efficiency of some of our newer and younger team members .”
Complementing the pair of compact tractors across the two sites are four RTV ’ s , including two RTV520 ’ s installed by George Browns at the training ground in July 2023 . “ Here , especially , the RTV ’ s are the workhorses of our maintenance operation . Whether its moving equipment from pitch to pitch or transporting clippings , they ’ re our go-to .
At the stadium we have a Kubota RTV500 which , again , is a people and machinery mover . We also use this to tow our lighting rigs into place after a match which shaves an hour off the job .”
Scott concludes by praising the after-sales support from the Kubota dealer , “ On the odd occasion we ’ ve needed help with our Kubota equipment , George Browns have always been brilliant . With high levels of usage and even higher expectations it ’ s reassuring to know we can always rely on Kubota to get the job done .”
