Junior football pitch set on fire

June 22, 2020/in Industry News, News, Press Release/by External Source

Junior football pitch set on fire: Vandals who lit a bonfire on a junior football pitch in Barrow have been slammed by a member of the club.

Football coach Paul Speirs said Barrow Wanderers Juniors are now thinking about having to fence off the field to stop people from wrecking the turf.

Mr Speirs, coach and groundsman at the club, noticed the bonfire scorch marks on the pitch recently and he has appealed to the public not to disrespect the fields, which they have left open to be enjoyed by everyone.

He said the damage was ‘just about on the corner flag’ area of the pitch.

“For this season (the pitch) is probably was not needed as I imagine we have until January before we are playing again,” he said.

“We will need to dig it out and reseed it before then though.

“It is vandalism pure and simple. Everyone knows it is a football pitch.

“We have had to take the goalposts down because of vandalism as well. It is a shame as we do leave it open for young people to use. This is the first bonfire I have had to deal with and this pitch has been going for three or four years now.

“I asked people to use it and enjoy the pitch, don’t disrespect it. The same goes for dog walkers, make sure you clean up your dog mess. It is private property at the end of the day and we do not want to have to fence it off because of this behaviour.

“We have one elderly gentlemen that practises his (golf) chip shots on there. He asked if it was okay for him to do it and he keeps it tidy. If I didn’t see him I would not have known he had been.”

Schouten Machines B.V’s new scarifier

June 22, 2020/in Machinery, News, Press Release/by Frans Bosch

Schouten Machines B.V’s new scarifier: Schouten Machines B.V. manufacturer of agriculture and grounds care machinery comes with a new three-point scarify machine. The Rabbit scarify machines are available in two working widths 150cm and 230cm.

The Rabbit scarify machine distinguishes itself in robustness and minimal maintenance.

This can be seen in the finish, the strong frame and the robust drive.

The RD 1545 weighs 580 kg has a working width of 150cm and works up to a depth of 50mm with a required power of 30 hp.

The RD 2345 weighs 610kg has a working width of 230cm and works up to a depth of 50 mm with a required power of 70 hp.

In the Schouten Rabbit there are star-shaped hard metal blades with a diameter of ø450mm.

The thickness of the blades is 3mm and stand at an intermediate distance of 4 cm.

The scarify blades rotate with direction of travel which requires less power. This has a positive impact on fuel consumption. Because of the position of the blades in relation to each other, one knife point grabs in when the following blade comes out of the ground. Even a less well-rooted turf is not pulled loose.

The robust frame has on both sides a maintenance free V-belt transmission with 3 V-belts. The frame is equipped with a three-point system for Cat.1 and Cat.2.

At the bottom of the frame are feet mounted to the machine. After use can set it away without damaging the blades.

Maintenance is limited to the lubricate the bearings. Hoses have been mounted to be able to do the lubrication job on an accessible place.

At the front of the machine is the front roller with a diameter of 140mm, which allows you to set the working depth stepless to a maximum depth of 50 millimeters. This is indicated by a fixed scale.

New is the hydraulically adjustable spread wing that allows you to steer the spray of the grass to keep paths and advertising signs clean.

Schouten machines for today and tomorrow
