The Tough Cut deck attachment for the Ventrac 4520 all-terrain compact tractor has been specifically designed for mowing high grass, thick weeds and heavy brush. Able to work on slopes of up to 30 degrees, it can save huge amounts of man-hours when compared to strimming.
Capable of tackling saplings up to 2.54 mm (1 inch) in diameter, the Tough Cut makes short work out of overgrown thickets. It has three cutting heights: 76 mm, 92 mm and 108 mm. Easy servicing of belts and pulleys is provided by the hinged and removable cover, while the flip-up deck provides easy access for cleaning and changing blades.
Chris Houfe, Chairman of Greens at Stamford Golf Club says,
“Obviously we want members and visitors to enjoy their experience with us and we are currently improving the playability of the course, by removing larger areas of growth that have encroached onto the fairways over time,” he said. “That’s why we purchased the Tough Cut deck; it does a fantastic job of knocking down brambles, young saplings, gorse and long grass, saving hours of brush-cutting for our small team. Once this has been removed, we can create more rough and semi-rough areas, making it easier to find wayward balls and speed up play, in general.
Peter Pattenden, the Golf Courses and Estates Manager at Carden Park, is a 30-year veteran of the industry and is an enthusiastic advocate of the Tough Cut deck.
“The Tough Cut deck is superb as it can cut through saplings, bracken and gorse, helping to maintain the areas that consume man-hours. We do a lot of woodland management, removing trees and scrub, and this means travelling across fairways to reach particular areas. The light footprint of the Ventrac, which I believe is just 6 psi, allows us to go in without leaving wheel marks across the courses. I’ve been buying machinery since 1996 and can honestly say this is one of the best machines I have ever bought.”
