Jacobsen AR 522 helps Taynuilt Sports Council keep community grounds match-ready

Taynuilt Sports Council in Argyll has bought a Jacobsen AR522 rotary mower from Fairways GM to maintain the village’s large grass sports pitch.

As a charitable organisation, the Sports Council is committed to providing recreational facilities for the local community and the wider public through Taynuilt Sports Hub.

The pitch is in use year-round for shinty, football, cricket, juvenile rugby, and hockey.

Ross Dunsmore, current Chair of Taynuilt Sports Council, said: “Our previous machinery had reached the end of its life. We sought advice on the best replacement, then made successful funding applications to three sources: The Carraig Ghael Community Wind Farm Benefit Fund; The National Lottery Community Fund and Taynuilt Community Council. We’re incredibly grateful to all three for making this possible.

“We had heard good reports about Jacobsen equipment and Fairways GM. At first, Stuart Cameron, Area Manager, at Fairways didn’t have an AR522 in stock.

“But two weeks later, he contacted us to say a unit was coming in from one of Scotland’s best known clubs, which could be refurbished and delivered with a three-month warranty.

“We took delivery in April, and it has definitely helped us produce a better pitch—we are delighted with the quality. In addition, the AR522 is better suited to the sometimes-wetter conditions we get here for cutting the pitch. The machine also deals with the excess grass on top well, leaving a good playing surface.

“On the service side, Fairways lead service engineer, Stuart Mulholland helped us resolve a small issue early on, and between the two Stuarts we’ve had exemplary support.”

The Jacobsen AR522 is a five-gang wide-area rotary mower equipped with SureTrac four-wheel drive traction, weight transfer control, and TrimTek cutting decks, enabling it to manage uneven ground and slopes with ease as well as the flat.”
