New Powerhead slashes sprinkler trimming time.
By Carol Dutton
New to the U.K., comes Powerhead, a high speed cutting attachment, designed to shave hours from the tedious job of trimming around sprinkler heads.
Fitting all commercial trimmers and brush cutters, Powerhead can save up to 4/5ths of the time this job usually demands, and ensure that irrigation systems operate at maximum uniformity and efficiency.
Preliminary trials on over 1,200 sprinklers at The London Golf Club's two golf courses last summer resulted in the first U.K. order of this new arrival. Course Manager Peter Todd, says that because the task is so time consuming it usually gets pushed further down the "to do" list. "As our yardage markers are on top of the sprinkler heads it's important that they are always neatly presented and we find that Powerhead allows us to do this job more frequently," he observes. "As a result our sprinkler heads are working more efficiently."
Powerhead is manufactured in America and distributed in the U.K. by Lastec Ltd. For further information contact the company on Tel: 01622 812103 or email: sales@lastec.co.uk
