ISEKI double for St Leonard’s School

to April 2022, when Mike brought in a TM 3267 compact tractor.

“The ride on ISEKI mower lets us cut and collect quicker than before, even in rain. We can use it everywhere. Its narrow enough to be manoeuvrable around trees and verges yet has the sizeable collector on the back that saves us making extra trips back to base. It lets us add stripes and improve presentation. Right now, when mowing has all but stopped, we’re using it to cut and collect leaves.

“The compact ISEKI was on our list, but while there was still life in our previous tractor, my Director and I agreed to defer any purchase until 2023. However, repeat breakdowns in spring and potentially expensive repairs, meant we brought the purchase forward to April 2022. It’s got a light footprint yet it’s powerful enough for the kit we have and the kit we hope to have in the future. It’s got the loader to transport materials, hydrostatic transmission and works well with our attachments and implements. We use it to trail our Wiedenmann Terra Brush on our artificial hockey pitch a few times a week to bring the filaments back to standing position, ready for matches and practise.

“Our relationship with dealer Fairways GM at Kinross, and Mike Lindsay in particular, is based on mutual understanding for the job in hand. He brings a practical knowledge of machines and applications, giving options and alternatives likely to suit our situation. The team at Fairways also give great service and back up, always there when we need them,” concluded Kev Smith.
