GROUNDSKEEPING
NEW GKB VSTRONG FOR READING FOOTBALL CLUB
READING FC ADDS ANOTHER DURABLE AND TRUSTED SCARIFYING
GKB MACHINE TO THEIR RANGE
Championship league football club, Reading Football
Club (FC), have been using their GKB VS160 Vstrong for
the maintenance of their impressive pitches for over a
year now.
Adam Grantham, Grounds Manager at Reading FC,
explains after trialling many other machines, the
Vstrong completely stood out. He adds, “It’s performance
has met our expectations” which was a key factor in
choosing the robust and reliable scarifying machine.
“GKB is well known, for their excellent range of
machines, for all day to day use in our industry.” Adam
adds, “the service we have received from Tom Shinkins,
Operations Manager at GKB, has been second to none.
Being able to visit them at shows such as SALTEX
where you can see them in a room and speak to GKB
representatives really helps in making a decision.”
As the GKB Vstrong
is produced in the
same manner as the
GKB Combinator, the
machine showcases
the technology,
operating speed
and the reliability
of GKB machines
demanded by
professionals. Adam
states that Reading
FC have been using
their machine for
“deep sward clean out or a light verti cut.” The beating
heart of the machine is the CombiRotor with generically
developed 3mm carbide scarifying blades, allowing easy
attainable operating depths of 5cm’s.
