Mayo Groundcare was established after requiring a means of maintaining Perry Dog Field which is a 4-acre secure dog field that we run on our small 80-acre family farm near to Kidderminster.
Our existing farm machinery wasn’t really suitable due to the weight of the machines and aggressive agricultural tyres causing more damage than good. Therefore Tim decided to invest in a small compact tractor with turf tyres to maintain the field.
However, due to the cost of even small compact machinery it wasn’t really financially viable to purchase the equipment solely for maintaining our own field. Therefore Tim decided to offer a groundcare service to other small field owners in the area and thus Mayo Groundcare was born.
There are many benefits to using a smaller compact tractor versus a full-size tractor to maintain large gardens, small fields, meadows and paddocks.
For one they are much lighter than full-size tractors which reduces soil compaction and damage to wet ground which is important for healthy grass growth. They are also easier to drive in tight spaces, around trees, fences, or uneven ground where a larger tractor would struggle.
Field access can also be difficult for larger tractors with many not even fitting through gateways. We require a gate width of only 2 meters wide for our tractor with mowing attachments providing we can leave our transport trailer somewhere safe outside of the field. Access with our trailer requires 2.5 meters for comfortable clearance of a gateway.
If you would like to Tim to come and take a look at your own field and provide a free no obligation quote please do get in touch.
