Optimising Labour Usage with Primo Maxx II

Jason turned to Primo Maxx II to optimise labour usage, allowing his team to focus on a broader range of tasks. He chose the product based on its proven performance. This consistency and reliability were crucial in his decision-making process.

Enhancing Sward Density and Resilience

One of the most notable benefits Jason has observed is the significant improvement in the density of the sward on fairways. The enhanced sward not only appears more resilient but also demonstrates outstanding drought resilience, recovering swiftly even under challenging conditions.

Significant Labour and Cost Savings

The impact on labour savings has been substantial. Jason’s team now needs to mow the fairways only once a week, a significant reduction from the previous twice-weekly schedule. This increased efficiency has freed up labour for other important tasks around the course. Additionally, the savings extend to operational costs, with fuel expenses reduced by approximately €3,000 annually and a notable decrease in wear and tear on equipment.

Primo Maxx II: An Integral Part of Maintenance Strategy

“Primo Maxx II has been transformative for us at Strandhill. It has allowed us to significantly reduce our mowing schedule while improving the density and resilience of our fairways. The labour and cost savings have been substantial, making it an essential part of our maintenance strategy.”

Overall, Jason praises Primo Maxx II as a fantastic product that has become an integral part of his maintenance toolkit. The combination of labour savings, increased sward density, and cost efficiencies has greatly benefited Strandhill Golf Club, enhancing both the course’s quality and operational efficiency.
