Three Iseki Tractors For The 'Home Of English Rugby'
As the result of the preferred supplier agreement between Ransomes Jacobsen and the Rugby Football Union at Twickenham, head groundsman Keith Kent and his team have taken delivery of three new Iseki tractors for general duties around the confines of the ‘Home of English Rugby’.
The Iseki TJA 8100 is an excellent asset for the grounds staff at Twickenham.
The largest machine is the Iseki TJA 8100 and at its heart is a SISU manufactured three-cylinder turbo diesel engine that with excellent torque characteristics and high fuel efficiency. This compact common rail diesel engine has emissions that are Stage 3B compliant without the need for a DPF (diesel particulate filter) or Ad-Blue, thus reducing maintenance costs.
The air-conditioned cab, with ergonomic controls, clear instrumentation and a Grammer suspension seat, provides the operator with excellent visibility and a spacious and comfortable environment in which to work.
Commenting on the new tractor Keith Kent said: “I particularly like the Iseki tractor range and the TJA 8100 is a great workhorse. Its large loader has the capacity to lift 1.6 tonnes and will be an excellent asset around the stadium.
“We also have an Iseki TH4335 HST with Lewis Loader. Again, this is a superb tractor; it has a 33 hp engine, independent PTO and throttle control together with an ISO mounted operator’s platform making it highly manoeuvrable and comfortable for an environment such as ours.
