When Neil Osborne, a partner of the family-owned caravan touring park in St Ives, Cornwall completed his research into the Ventrac package he was considering, it didn’t take long for the local dealer, Devon Garden Machinery (DGM) and the UK distributor, Price Turfcare, to spring into action.
Rob Read of DGM organized a demonstration with Price Turfcare, the UK distributor, with Ventrac’s 4500 tractor unit, an Aera-vator with overseeder, a Finishing mowing deck, Power Broom and Front Loader and put each attachment through its paces.
“The main reason I was interested in the Ventrac package was because of the ease of changing the implements safely and quickly on my own,” said Neil.
“The compact size and manoeuvrability of the machine is ideal for our busy campsite and enables me to get in to all the tight spaces.
“The overall quality of the machine and implements are excellent. I have been very impressed by the Area-vator as this helps to relieve the compaction of the pitches caused by a five-month season of continual use by tents, caravans and motorhomes.
“At the end of the season, this versatile implement can also re-seed the pitch at the same time, which makes the Ventrac very time efficient and I have been more than pleased with the end result.
“It also works really well to fluff the bark around the play equipment. The mower and broom attachments are regularly used and perform their tasks well.
“I would not hesitate in recommending Rob from DGM and Price Turfcare and look forward to dealing with them again in the future.”
