MST SECURE ISEKI FLEET DEAL FOR BLUNDELL'S

Iseki UK & Ireland, alongside their local dealer MST based in Tiverton, recently sold a fleet of machinery into Blundell’s School in Devon.

Newly appointed Graham Cox at Blundell’s in Tiverton had been tasked with upgrading the groundcare fleet of machinery. So, following on from what his estate bursar Ian Barnes, deputy head groundsperson Richard Hutchings and the grounds team had started, Graham began looking into what was on the market. Having contacted a number of local dealers Iseki and MST came up trumps for their needs.

Graham explained, "We knew our two previous 36hp tractors needed an increase in power to 50hp in order to run the specialist sports turf equipment around the site. The schools overall strategy is to significantly improve its sports pitches and gardens. MST brought out the Iseki TG6495 IQ on demo for us to try and it was perfect for the jobs we require." 

Blundells also required new ride-on mowers for their gardens and fine turf areas, opting for the SXG323 model. 

The deal also included a TXGS24 23hp tractor which is used on the astroturf pitches and for running the SISIS Quadraplay on sports pitches.

"We had a large range of demos and competitor quotes but MST made the decision simple," said Graham.

"We have been very lucky, the school has supported the grounds department to enable us to produce top quality playing surfaces and grounds maintenance across the site with the best equipment. The purchase will pay off for years to come with continued improvement of presentation at the school."
