It is easy to note how much machinery or equipment listed above is required to produce a reasonable quality standard cricket pitch and outfield. But, make no mistake, to have the right machinery at your disposal does not come cheap. Time is money and, with budgets for ever being streamlined, purchasing the right piece of equipment is very important in raising the standards of your club.


just one piece of equipment now freely available on the market capable of brushing, verticutting and scarifying, as well as cutting, to a very high standard.

objectives can be achieved to help speed up the production of a cricket pitch, enabling groundstaff to protect the surface from adverse weather and permitting games to be played by clubs reliant on much needed revenue from matches. To manage a cricket square and


outfield effectively, you need to know what you are managing. Measuring your pitch against a set of defined standards shows how well your equipment or machinery is working. If you do not monitor the performance of your machinery you cannot know, with certainty or objectively, if conditions are improving or, at least, achieving the desired standard. Performance quality provides


the groundstaff with the opportunity of doing the job right first time, helping reduce costs and the frustration of having to do it all over again.


... but everything you need for years of superb mowing is!
