We are delighted to share with you a recent delivery of two Kubota LX401 compact tractors to AFC Bournemouth, joining the ST401 we supplied at the end of 2020.

They will play a pivotal role in the maintenance of the club’s new state of the art training facility, a 57-acre site that was formerly Canford Magna golf course.

These new machines come with a very particular specification: a retro-fitted Trimble auto-guidance system for accurate field mapping and monitoring which guides the machines to within a margin of 25mm, ensuring precision delivery of products to maximise efficiency and speed of delivery. In addition to the tractors, EG Coles has supplied trailers, a Vicon vari-spreader, and a Countax ride-on-mower, also for use at the training facility.

We were delighted to supply these machines and equipment for the new facility, continuing our relationship with the club. Head Groundsman, Ian Lucas, commented on how our sales manager Andy Frost not only offered a great deal on the package, but also that we had the best aftercare offering in our parts and service teams, something we pride ourselves on.

Our thanks go to Ian and his team for their welcome when we recently visited the Cherries’ stadium in Bournemouth, and we wish them every success for the 2024-25 season.
