South Wales contractors Peter Villars Sportsgrounds\nMaintenance (PVSGM) have doubled their aerator fleet. In January the\nCwmbran-based family business added a Wiedenmann Terra Spike XD6 to their\nexisting Wiedenmann Terra Spike GXi8 HD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Director, Iestyn John said: \u201cWe need to cover lots of ground\nfast. Clients want you in and out so they can get on with their business. Even\nat speed the Wiedenmanns can be relied upon do a neat and tidy job.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ahead of the season launching Easter meeting at Bath Race\nCourse, PVSGM spiked the whole race course easily within a normal working day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iestyn working with his father, Steve John, said because of\nrelentless poor weather it was the first occasion they had the machines in\ntandem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Bath track is about 7 hectares. We started in the home\nstraight with the tractors facing separate directions. Tine holders on the legs of XD are slightly\nfurther apart than the GXi8 so hole patterns weren\u2019t strictly identical but\nmatched closely. Both were set to 150 mm deep with heave at 10\u00b0 as the roots\nare quite shallow and there\u2019s a base of Cotswold stone beneath. We kept to a\nsteady 3 km \/ hr. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLast year the same job took us two days. Now with the extra\nTerra Spike when we see a weather window, clients will get the benefit. We can\nget the jobs done faster. \u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PVSGM have been operating in South Wales and the South West\nfor over 30 years. With several race courses on their books they also maintain\nand renovate bowls, tennis rugby, cricket and football surfaces as well as\nhelping a host of synthetic customers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
