TV slot for turf cutter

The students on the Land-based Technology course at Plumpton College were commissioned by Tracmaster to make and supply more than 200 parts for its CAMON turf cutter. The arrangement was a boost for a business initiative set up by the young engineers and for Tracmaster, a UK leading groundcare and machinery specialist.

Tracmaster designs and manufactures its CAMON range at its headquarters in Burgess Hill, and needed to outsource some fabrication to meet its orders. Plumpton College suggested a partnership and its students produced components for the turf cutter including anti-vibration handlebars, bumpers and chipper chasis.

A Tracmaster director, Alex Pitt, said: “The quality of the work is excellent and a testament to the high standards achieved by the students at Plumpton. The CAMON turf cutter is one of our best-selling products and we are expecting orders to stay high, so we hope to continue this successful partnership in the future.”
