Bearcat chipper / shredder modelled by Paul and Dave aka. Shave.
Have a look at the YouTube video below to see just how efficient these machines are.


          Hunter 'Jupiter ATI series 5' grinder
                    new for Spring 2014
A DULL mower blade rips the grass tips rather than cutting them, and this allows much of the water normally held within the leaf blades to escape.  Grass mowed with dull blades are much more susceptible to drought and heat stress. The stress induced also weakens the immune systems of the grass and negatively affects its ability to naturally fight fungus and disease.

There are four surfaces of interest on a cutting reel.
     1) Front face of bedknife
     2) Top face of bedknife
     3) Relief ground area of reel
     4) Spun ground edge of reel

John Deere fairway machine on the lift in our workshop for some maintenance.....
See those golf ball size dents in the bonnet......we know who you are !!!

Ransomes Fairway machine in for a service in January 2014, the blades and rollers were taken off and replaced by new ones...

Rollers
Bearings often break in rollers which is why they were serviced. A slight bit of movement in the roller could effect the the height of the cut. It is vital that we check the bearings to prevent problems like this happening. 

Next on the ransoms checklist 
  • Replace all filters
  • New hydraulic pipes to be fitted 
  • New back tyres
