Continuous wet weather this summer has made reinstatement work a top priority at Donington Park the well-known grand prix race circuit.

Mr Pamham's attention was drawn to the machine when he saw it advertised in the Trade Press, although earlier he had been impressed by its performance when he saw it in operation in Austria. "I thought then, this is miles better than a chain harrow because it really makes a good job and it folds up hydraulically. I fancied it straight away."

He purchased the machine after having it on loan for a week. "I didn't want to let it go. We were right in a very wet period - every weekend seems to have been the same. We were just reinstating all the time."

"The car parks are badly cut up with tyre marks and rots everywhere. But the Turf Comb Harrow really does dry out the ground because it is not smearing over it - it's a different action altogether. In fact on some of the areas we treated we were staggered at how quickly the ground recovered."

As well as reinstatement work in the car parks and rock concert areas, Mr Pamham's 6 metre hydraulic folding harrow is used for aerating the gravel traps on the corners -"It does a good job, without pulling the bottom up."

"It's the best machine I've ever used when you're reinstating ground when it is very wet," he concludes. "What's more it is useful for more than one job - and we like that very much."
