It can be so frustrating knowing that the grass needs a cut or there’s maintenance jobs to be done, but the weathers against you.
However, owners of Ventrac compact tractors don’t have this issue as this highly versatile machine and numerous attachments can get out and work in the most inclement weather.
Worm casts are the bane of a turf managers life during the autumn and winter months, but the Ventrac can get out and get the job done.
Peter Pattenden, Golf Courses and Estate Manager at Carden Park in Cheshire says: “Worm casts on fairways can are a significant problem; we don’t want to use our fairway mowers, but we can set our three-pod rotary Contour deck at 19mm and keep everything looking good.
“Our Ventracs have many outstanding qualities: versatility, manoeuvrability, build quality, reliability, ease of operation, but one not readily appreciated until you have it, is the ability to operate in wet conditions.
“We can be wet up here in Cheshire and it’s got us out of jail on many occasions. We get flash flooding on parts of the courses after heavy rain, but we can still get out and work.
“I have even used both machines, side by side, with their Contour decks to mow the rough after heavy downpours.”
