Leicester City FC grounds keepers have opted for Dennis turf maintenance machines to keep the pitch in top condition following the club's promotion to the FA Premier League last season.
Seven of the professional pedestrian Dennis turf mowers now maintain the club’s pitches.
Four are based at the club’s training ground for the first team pitches and three at the King Power stadium in Leicester, to prepare the pitch for match day.
Head groundsman John Ledwidge said: “At the stadium we’ve got three G860’s that are mainly used for day-to-day cutting, mixed in with rotary cutting as well.
He added: “Because they are lightweight, this also helps us if the weather does turn a bit inclement
in the sense that we don’t have too much weight on the pitch.
“Presentation is key in the Premier League, especially with an estimated five million people watching Match of the Day every Saturday night.”
The Dennis G860 has eleven quick changeover cassette options giving flexibility, and a
single power unit for many day-to-day maintenance tasks.
It also features a
large diameter front roller with an adjustable scraper which has been
designed for a precise height of cut control.
