TOOLS , PLANT & EQUIPMENT rise , however come May we ’ ll have increased that to at least twice a week . Over the summer months cutting increases to three or four times a week as the fertilisation programme takes effect .
During the racing season we like to cut the day before a fixture , and then again 48 hours afterwards . Height of the cut is set at 6cm for the next month or so and when racing starts , we ’ ll allow it to grow a bit longer before cutting it to around 9cm . Changing the height of cut on the decks takes around half an hour and it ’ s a case of moving just ten pins , so it ’ s very straightforward .”
“ Away from the track , our lawns are a great backdrop for weddings and events as well as racedays , and hopefully this summer they will see a lot more visitors . Because it ’ s been a bit milder these past few weeks the lawns are starting to grow . The TR320 delivers an exceptionally fine , effective cut and it is so good at striping the lawns and leaving a professional finish - everything is really level . We cut the track and the lawns on the same day so there will be times when we are cutting lawns four times a week throughout the summer .
Last year , sadly , we were unable to welcome racegoers and event guests alike and so we ’ re working hard to ensure the grounds will be at their spectacular best for when we can open our gates to the public once more .
Rob Hogarth , Fairways GM ’ s Area Sales Manager , said : The HR500 can cut all day long . Robust and smooth , it has built in consistency delivered via a feature called Automated Assist Drive , so no matter the conditions the finish remains clean and sharp . The big cab that Darren likes gives the operator a superior view of what ’ s going on out-front ; controls are positioned exactly where they are required , so you can also be extremely precise . The TR320 is good in tight spaces and challenging terrain . It ’ s a wizard at stripes so is great at keeping locations pristine and interesting , a nice touch for important wedding photography .”
