The National Trust has brought in a new Toro Reelmaster 3100 riding mower for fine turf cutting in the magnificent gardens at Anglesey Abbey, near Cambridge.
Lord Fairhaven designed a spectacular garden with planting for all seasons at his country estate. Today the gardens are cared for under the expert eye of head gardener Richard Todd.
Richard has been tending the gardens for 40 years, some 30 of which he has been using Toro to help him and his seven-strong team care for the site’s 114 acres of land.
Richard says: “The Reelmaster is a straight replacement for the previous Toro machine we’d used for the same purpose for 17 years. The team and I had always enjoyed using it and we knew we wanted something similar. We have a Toro Groundsmaster 4000-D, too, which we use for the larger expanses of grass, and for the smaller areas around the house, which require a precise finish, we use the RM3100. It’s a good combination.”
