Lights, Camera, Action for CAMON turf cutter
CAMON top turf cutter hit the limelight when it starred in the new series of the peak time show, Love Your Garden, with Alan Titchmarsh. Since the fi rst job to do in most garden makeovers is to strip a grassed area to make way for a new
surface, this robust, reliable CAMON machine plays a starring role, preparing the way for Alan Titchmarsh and his team of expert landscapers to work their magic. Jim Boyers, Production Manager on ‘Love Your Garden’, commented,
“What a joyous machine! If you’re ever faced with the back-breaking prospect of lifting your lawn, throw down that spade and get your hands on a Tracmaster turf cutter. I was amazed at how quick and neat it made the job.” The CAMON turf cutter is one of a range of high- quality, robust groundcare machines designed and manufactured by Tracmaster in the UK. Tracmaster’s sales and marketing director, Alex Pitt, comments: “It was a great honour to be asked to supply a turf cutter for this popular TV show. It is a highly-regarded machine and cut out for the job!” Love Your Garden featured David Dodd of The Outdoor Room and David Domoney alongside Alan Titchmarsh.

Leading national plant and equipment hire company Morris Leslie Group, based in Perthshire and with nine depots throughout the UK, has recently expanded its hire fl eet with the addition of 50 new John Deere HPX Gator 4x4 utility vehicles, ordered from Oxfordshire based dealer Farol Ltd. In what is the biggest individual order ever made for Gators in the UK, these new models join another 30 HPXs bought in 2012. Together with older Gators, this brings the total number of John Deere utility vehicles in the Morris Leslie fl eet to 140, making it the biggest Gator hire fl eet in Europe. The new machines will be based at Morris Leslie’s main plant hire depot in Woking, Surrey, and will be used mainly for short-term hire, both in the UK and abroad. Key customers include outdoor events and grounds maintenance contractors. Gators are also a popular choice for many other general transport applications requiring a strong, durable and versatile vehicle with high loading and towing capacities.
