Michael Rinaldi is delighted with the new Dennis FT510 in which Haverhill Cricket Club has invested.

He was using three mowers – one to cut the cricket square, another for wicket preparation and a third for the final wicket cut.

“The previous mowers were so hard to adjust and took such a long time to set up that it was easier to have three machines set to different heights than to waste time changing the settings,” he explains. “But I wanted to save space in our tiny shed and to have one mower to do all the work.”

A Dennis FT510 was recommended to Michael by the greenkeeper of a local golf club, but his keen financial sense was almost a stumbling block: “Dennis has a very good reputation in the industry, being British made and highly reliable. But we always thought it would be out of reach price wise. Our dealer Ben Burgess made it affordable with an excellent finance option and it actually wasn’t as much as we thought it would be!
