MM50 Delivers the Perfect Pitch

July 29, 2025/in News, Press Release/by Admin

MM50 Delivers the Perfect Pitch: For Adam Rowlands, owner of Turf Doctor Specialists Ltd, maintaining high-quality cricket surfaces is about using the right tools for the job – and when it comes to seed, MM50 from MM Seed is his go-to solution.

Based in West London, Turf Doctor Specialists Ltd has been operating for over a decade as a limited company, but Adam brings with him more than 30 years of hands-on experience in the industry. As specialists in the maintenance and renovation of natural turf, the company works across a wide range of sports surfaces, from football and rugby pitches to bowls and tennis courts – but cricket remains one of their key focus areas.

MM50 Delivers the Perfect Pitch

Adam began using MM50 four years ago after switching from another seed that wasn’t quite delivering the results he needed. It was through working with Agrovista Amenity that MM50 was recommended, and since then, he’s never looked back.

“It was originally recommended to me by Agrovista Amenity, and I gave it a go,” says Adam. “I found it to be a much more robust, hard-wearing option compared to the bent and fescues I’d used in the past – and the results speak for themselves.”

MM50 is now used by Turf Doctor Specialists Ltd across six cricket squares and two bowling greens during the renovation window from early September to mid-October. Adam also applies it to six grass tennis courts, where durability and rapid recovery are equally important.

What sets MM50 apart, in Adam’s view, is its performance under pressure. Cricket squares face intense wear and tear during the season, and MM50’s dense, fine-leaved ryegrass blend stands up to the challenge.

“The colour is good, germination is reliable, and the recovery is solid,” he explains. “It handles the demands of a busy cricket season really well. In my opinion, it’s the perfect seed for cricket.”

MM50 Delivers the Perfect Pitch

MM50 is specially designed for end-of-season renovations and mid-season repairs on cricket squares. Its blend of Chloe, Alison, Singapore and Etienna perennial ryegrass cultivars offers exceptional shoot density, tolerance to close mowing, and fast recovery which is important when pitches are used through the season. MM 50 is also treated with HEADSTART® GOLD, a seaweed-based seed treatment which helps ensure rapid and even germination, helping grounds professionals like Adam get the best possible results even in challenging conditions.

“It just works,” says Adam. “And I have to give credit to Chris Turpie from Agrovista Amenity – his customer service is unbelievable. I don’t think you can get better support than that.”

For professionals looking for a proven, hard-wearing, and dependable seed for cricket square renovation and repair, MM50 continues to deliver outstanding results – season after season.

Toro’s out-front electric rotary now all-wheel drive

Toro’s out-front electric rotary now all-wheel drive: Predicted by Toro to bring operational savings on fuel, fluid, parts, routine maintenance, and labour to promote a positive return on investment, the all-new lithium-ion battery-powered Groundsmaster e3300 out-front rotary from Reesink Turfcare is now available with all-wheel drive.

The out-front rotary mower is considered by most groundscare professionals as an essential frontline machine and Toro, in its constant quest for providing ultra-productive and sustainable solutions for its customers, has developed an all-wheel drive electric version with the proven performance of the brand’s popular all-wheel drive diesel model.

At its core, there’s everything that makes the traditional Groundsmaster an industry favourite – the same rugged chassis, commercial-grade mowing deck and operator comfort, but now with CrossTrax all-wheel drive optimising traction and the option of a 60- or 72-inch side or rear discharge deck built from high-strength steel.

Under the hood there’s 11 powerful HyperCell batteries for all-day runtime and the option of adding another six batteries for the most challenging environments, tough terrain, and demanding schedules.

Operation is now emission-free for a cleaner environment and it’s quieter. Reduced noise levels open up the options for when and where mowing can take place: earlier in the morning, later in the day, in sound sensitive areas like schools, university campuses and public parks – making time management that much easier and productivity levels that much higher.

When it’s time to head back to the charging station, a battery reserve setting ensures there’s enough power to get there and the onboard InfoCentre gives real-time visibility into battery status, settings, and alerts — keeping range anxiety at bay and everything running smoothly.

Jon Cole, Business Development Manager – Reesink Turfcare, says: “There’s no difference in the machine’s ability to get the job done with the change in the power supply – it’s more that with the CrossTrax all-wheel drive, operators are going to see a huge leap in productivity. Customers can still expect to mow up to nine acres an hour and it still provides a solid solution to many of the issues groundscare professionals face today: reduced mowing cycles, limited budgets and the requirement for year-round productivity.”

Customers can contact Reesink to arrange a demo at their site at a convenient time simply by contenting their local dealer or Reesink on 01480 226800 or visit reesinkturfcare.co.uk.
