The GL5240 is used for a range of different ground maintenance duties, from dressing to drainage and is fitted with an operator cab plus a made for purpose Kubota front loader. During the rugby season the tractor is used 2 or 3 times a week;

“If we have a game at home on a Saturday, from Monday onwards we are out spiking the pitch”.

“It’s multi purpose – ideal for deep spiking – and dressing – as it will take a tonne no problem on the front loader, and when we hire a top dresser – the tractor will go all day.”

“Chris, at our local Kubota dealer Ted Hopkins Ltd. completely looks after our equipment and servicing requirements. The tractor can’t really go wrong – with an automatic gearbox, it’s like being in a car.”
