There was a large static display of equipment from the Ransomes Jacobsen range including mowers, top dressers, Iseki com

Commenting at the event David Evans, Managing Director of DEAL Turf Care said, "We were absolutely delighted with the attendance. We have made a significant investment here, which demonstrates our total commitment to the Ransomes Jacobsen product range and we wanted to show our existing customers and prospects that we are are here for the long term.
