https://www.ventrac.com/ If you’re up for the challenge, Stocksbridge Golf Club has some of the best steep slopes and undulating banks and bunkers with amazing 360-degree panoramic views, at just around 1,000 meters above sea level. For the golf course maintenance team at Stocksbridge, a new Ventrac is being put to the test.

Jamie Hobson shares his testimonial on how the Ventrac is doing in its first month of work. He tells of needing to reduce his laborer’s hours because of the Ventrac’s efficiency and a need for less trimming work. Jamie knows it’s important to have the right machine for the right job and he recommends the Ventrac to anyone and everyone who has this need to fill.

The MJ840 Contour Mower creates a fabulous finish wherever you’re cutting the grass not only on flatlands, but steep slopes, and banks as well. Three decks float independently and follow the contour of the terrain with up to 40 degrees of motion on each side deck. Designed with anti-scalping features and front and back motion for ground variation, the mower glides over uneven surfaces with ease.

A job well done reflects directly on a greenkeeper and what they can achieve on a golf course to create a beautiful finish, fitting of such views. On a tough course to golf, you need an even tougher mower to keep it looking its best.

Video Transcript: We've only got three staff, and this machine is enabling us to do more. Cut more areas tidy areas, so it's well worth the money we spent on it. My name is Jamie Hobson, head greenkeeper at Stocksbridge Golf Club, Sheffield. Been a greenkeeper since 2003, roughly 15 and a half years. The Golf Course has been around here since 1924 currently started as a 9 hole course. 15 to 20 years on we were extended to 15 and then eventually up to 18 holes and that's where we are today. Up here in Stockbridge, it's a tough test of golf. Very undulating, very steep slopes. On the highest point of the golf course which is roughly a thousand meters above sea level we've got a really good 360-degree panoramic view, it's absolutely amazing views from Stocksbridge. It is really good. We've just purchased the Ventrac machine. Bad it in stock now for over a month we've got the contour deck which is the main item what we wanted with the machine. And also we've got the blower as well. Not quite used it yet but it will come in handy when times ready. Absolutely fabulous finish wherever you're cutting on flatland, slopes, banks. The machine just travels across the side of the old sides. It'll go up and down the slopes, around bunkers, and you feel really comfortable using the machine. Basically, it's cut down on I'd roughly say 60 to 70% strimming work. The summer guy normally would be doing 80 hours a month. We've actually reduced hours. Not because the cost, basically because we've really cut back on the strimming work due to having this Ventrac machine. So yeah, it's it's saving us money as well as getting a lot more areas cut. It's really important to have a machine what will tidy areas up on this course. It also reflects our ability as greenkeepers. What we can do, what we can achieve, with the right machines for the right job and this machine is one of the machines what I can recommend to anyone and everyone. I just want to say a big thank you to the people who invented Ventrac. It's sort of a force to be reckoned with, I think, in golf course maintenance.
