GROUNDSKEEPING

CHESHAM TOWN COUNCIL BLOWN AWAY BY SXG PERFORMANCE

ISEKI UK & Ireland , distributors of ISEKI compact tractors and mowers alongside their local dealer Turney Group based in Oxfordshire , recently sold a SXG326 + to Chesham Town Council .
With six members of staff , Paul Isom manages the Parks and Premises Team at Chesham Town Council , looking after all the open spaces , cemeteries plus extra contract work in the area and recently purchased a SXG326 + to keep the areas in top condition . Commenting on the buying process Paul explains ; “ After having demonstrations from numerous manufacturers , Josh Walker from local ISEKI dealer Turney Group based in Oxfordshire brought along the SXG326 + mower - it easily outperformed the other machines for cutting and collecting in the wet leaving a brilliant finish every time . There was no question , this would be the second ISEKI SXG mower we would own . We kept the first one for three years with no problem at all and we have had this new SXG326 + mower for over 9 months with no issues .”
Used in various areas of the awardwinning Lowndes Park in Chesham , the SXG326 + on the lowest cutting height keeps formal areas looking pristine all year round , other large areas are cut by a tractor and wide roller mower , then the wildflower meadows are topped and collected by the SXG326 + at the end of each season .
Paul continued ; “ These SXG326 + mowers did more than we expected , we bought it for our manicured grass but it easily cuts our wildflower meadows leaving a tidy collected finish , plus the 2.2m high tip 600 litre collector means that if needed we can tip into the back of trailers
