Milder winters are becoming more and more common, the grass-growing season is starting earlier and finishing later year on year, leading to 12 months of continuous mowing.
Adrian Langmead, Kubota UK’s Groundcare Business Development Manager, looks into the expanding grass cutting season and the considerations to be aware of to manage the growing demand.
Grassed areas are essential to the growth of many industries. However, as budgets get tighter and industry professionals become busier, the expanding mowing season is taking its toll across the industry more than ever.
In order to manage the growing demand and the continued strain that’s being put on workforce and equipment, it’s essential that the right machinery is selected from the offset.
Although purchasing high performance, reliable and cost effective groundcare solutions is vital for local authorities, contractors and in-house teams, it also means there are a number of factors that need to be considered, whether it’s for ride-on mowers, compact tractors or utility vehicle purchases.
Kubota’s extensive mower range has been designed to make light work of a range of groundcare tasks, rooted in the brand’s reliability, fuel economy and outstanding versatility.
For those looking for a powerful ride-on mower for heavy-duty use, Kubota’s F Series range is a popular choice, particularly among local authorities looking to cut down on running costs.
The F Series is powerful, precise and efficient, whilst the maintenance and service back up from Kubota’s extensive dealer network means contractors don’t need to worry about labour-intensive maintenance or servicing, guaranteeing minimum downtime.
Kubota’s popular F3090 and F3890 models offer professional performance, equipped with Kubota’s leading diesel engines, fabricated durable mower deck, as well as its HST transmission for quick response.
The company’s zero turn mowers are another firm favourite for those who demand exceptional maneuverability and expert handling, especially when working in areas where obstacles are commonplace, such as parks or woodland courses. Kubota’s ZD zero turn mower series is complete with independent steer levers, which gives the mower a 360° turning radius, making cutting around trees, posts and other obstacles an easy one-pass operation.
The ZD range comes equipped with an array of other top features including Kubota’s unique jack on the ZD326 for easier mower deck access, a tri-cut system for efficient cut and a one-dial cut height adjustment, with collection available on the GZD models
Boasting exceptionally low vibration levels, smooth PTO, deck lift operation and shaft driven blades, the G Series delivers effortless operation and outstanding performance. With ample horsepower, the G Series mowers feature water-cooled Kubota ETVCS diesel engines ready to take on the toughest commercial jobs, whilst offering a cost effective solution.
The ability to maximise productivity, as well as saving time and money, are key features of Kubota’s complete range of solutions.
One of the hallmarks of the brand is its reputation for durability and reliability, and as such, customers have long benefitted from its machine’s higher resale values, which means purchasers can rest assured that they’ll get a good return on their investment. Good news for those controlling the purse strings.
