Huge New Jacobsen Fleet at Five Lakes

31/01/2008

Ernest Doe & Sons, RANSOMES JACOBSEN dealer for Essex, has recently delivered a huge fleet of new course maintenance equipment to the prestigious Five Lakes Hotel, Golf, Country Club & Spa, situated near Tiptree in rural Essex. RANSOMES JACOBSEN is a Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) company.

The equipment, with a retail

value in excess of 500,000, also includes a fleet of 20 electric powered golf cars with onboard chargers and single point battery fill system for easy maintenance.

Course Manager, Paul Millard commented, "We run with a lean team here at Five Lakes and therefore need quality equipment to ensure that we provide our guests with the optimum playing conditions at all times. Take the three Jacobsen G-Plexs as an example. Their speed, efficiency and quality of cut is excellent and we specified them with rear roller brushes which result in less arising on the green. We have also taken three

Jacobsen Fairway 250s, one with grass catchers, which is a dedicated machine to maintain our UEFA-standard football pitch."
