Four Major Synergy out front mower decks are being used by Crawley Borough Council to assist in the maintenance of 2 million square metres of grass areas which includes parks, roadside verges, cricket fields and school sports pitches.
Karl Garnham is the West Patch Team Leader at Crawley Borough Council, where he and his team are responsible for street cleansing, grass cutting and shrub bed maintenance.
The council took delivery of two Major Synergy rotary mowers at the start of the 2017 cutting season.These mowers replaced out front flail mowers that had been previously used by the council for the grass maintenance throughout the region.
Karl and his team were so impressed with the Major mower’s performance that a further two Synergy mowers were added to the fleet in August 2017.
“With the extensive area of grass we maintain, it’s important that the tools we use are efficient and reliable," he said.
"The Major out front mower is very versatile because we can use it around the housing estates and then mow the cricket fields with the same machine.The roller on the rear gives a nice striped effect and we have had positive feedback from residents about that.”
Karl’s comments are reaffirmed by Raff Napoletano, a machine operator in the West Patch maintenance team.“Although the Synergy mower is 2m, it is easy to manoeuvre which is great when mowing verges.I can work around obstacles such as bins or trees really easily,” said Raff.
The blade system on the Synergy mower has particularly impressed the team at Crawley Borough Council. The double chop mulching blades easily cope with heavy grass all while delivering a professional striped finish in fine turf applications.
“Overall the Synergy mower is impressively low maintenance and has proved to be a really useful bit of kit.It allows our team complete the grass cutting on time and within budget,” concluded Karl.
