Pyle & Kenfig Golf Club Chooses John Deere 2750E Hybrid electric triplex mowers For Eco-Friendly Turf Maintenance
Pyle & Kenfig Golf Club strives to protect nature and conserve resources while also providing an enjoyable golf outing. Those efforts paid off when it received GEO certification this past May for sustainable golf course operation. To achieve sustainability, the course looked to upgrade its mower fleet; after consultation with John Deere dealer Powercut, decided on three 2750E mowers. Two of the hybrid electric triplex mowers are equipped with cutting units for the tees and collars and one for the greens. The club also purchased a 6500A lightweight fairway mower, an HPX 815E Gator utility vehicle, and a 5075E utility tractor with turf tyres.
P&K chose the 2750E for its versatility on fairways and greens and its ability to adhere to ground contours while maintaining a high-quality cut. The club was the first in the UK to order the 2750E, which was introduced in 2019.
“Achieving this certification is just part of an ongoing commitment to continue striving for excellence in sustainable golf,” says club secretary and manager Simon Hopkin. “This has also seen us invest this year in more modern and environmentally friendly course maintenance equipment, with the help of Sean Brown from John Deere dealer Powercut and the company’s territory manager Nick Ashman.”
