RT Machinery brings Perfect Pitch Combo to GroundsFest

Involved with your local sports club?

Visit us on Stand OSA220 at GroundsFest 2024 for the complete package of sports pitch maintenance equipment. Our team are excited to show machinery focusing on improving the surfaces for players whilst making life much easier for grounds staff at the same time. This is especially true for all those grassroots rugby, cricket and football clubs who are often using volunteers to look after the grass!

In addition there is often funding available for the package of equipment on offer and guests are invited to speak to the team to find out what assistance can be offered for a funding bid.

The Iseki TM range of Lightweight Compact Tractors represents one of the best value tractors on the market and is a workhorse that loves pulling turf maintenance equipment across the pitches.

A range of premium-finish tractor-mounted gang and roller mowers from RTM, Tow N Mow® and Wessex provides a variety of options to suit different budgets and cutting width requirements from 1.8m up to 6m or more, all leaving a cracking finish.

The Quadraplay from Sisis is a 4-in-1 maintenance tool allowing clubs to brush, roll, slit and rake all in one pass, saving a vast amount of time for the grounds team. Working on both turf and hard porous surfaces, this tool combines fast aeration, thatch removal, standing up of the grass plant and excellent presentation - all at once.

Visitors can also look forward to seeing an array of specialist tools from Groundsman Industries, RTM SUFFOLK^®and Selvatici for seasonal and ad-hoc aeration of pitches to combat the issues of compaction and water logging. A good program of spiking, slitting and deeper vertical tining will improve and maintain surface drainage, water percolation, and the ingress of dressings and feeds.

Understanding what machinery is available to do the job and how they work is a great way to start thinking about what might be suitable for rugby and football pitches, cricket outfields, multi-pitch stadia, schools and race courses. With a range of manual mechanism actions, working widths, tine depths and tine types in both solid and hollow tines and splitters, there is a tool to suit all sites.

"Don't think you are paying attention, the original post was from Jason Taylor, I did not post the photo nor ask for any suggestions all I was doing was defending Jason's position in response to your unhelpful comments"

"Sorry Peter I have to go the distance. I own a tiller it will cut a foot, its bloody hard work and slow. I bet above is at least six passes. Large areas like that I'd hire a cannon. 3/4 passes it would cut to a foot and leave a fine tilth rather…"

"Not how I describe it, it's what it is, a tiller. And and do me a favour 😆 nobody is criticising your work, I'm criticising the ineffectiveness of that tool. I can see it in the picture you have posted. You have posted asking for any suggestions.…"
