“If I can justify what I am doing the club will support my needs”
for better collection, and the roller on the front of the machine has been redesigned to incorporate more bushes and reduced surface area to minimise grass flattening prior to mowing. Dennis have also changed the gearing on the motor drive, so that the mower covers the ground more slowly but continues to offer a higher output of blade rotation speed to increase the cuts per inch of ground covered.
Additionally, the blades have been relief ground to improve the cutting quality. The Arena sward has
suffered some minor disease outbreaks in the form of fusarium, however this was successfully controlled by the use of Daconil and Heritage fungicide treatments. Michael is keen to reduce the use of fungicides once he has managed to increase a healthy balance of bacteria populations in his soil
profile.
Michael is confident that once he has established and can maintain an optimal rooting depth of 125mm the job of managing and maintaining a quality playing surface at the Arena stadium will be made easier and, in the long term, provide a surface which Coventry City players and fans can be proud of. There is no substitute for
hard work and commitment. Judging from my visit there
seemed to be a good working ethos being generated by Michael and his staff. I believe the future of the new Xtra Grass pitch at the Arena stadium is in good hands and will provide a quality pitch for years to come.
Raising the bar…
Trimax lifted the bar 12 years ago with the original Stealth, setting a new standard in rotary wing mowers. Trimax are raising it again with the release of Stealth Series 2.
In keeping with the company’s policy of continuous improvement the new StealthS2 now features full width striping, infinitely variable height adjustment and downward wing float. Not to mention Trimax’s new LazerBladez™
cutting system.
