United’s partnership with Rickerby Ltd is now in its 27th year – currently in year two of a three-year pitch sponsorship deal.
Their support continues this term in the form of an Iseki TLE3410 Hydro Tractor fitted with a power loader, and a Jacobsen TR 320 Triple Fine Turf Mower, with a Fleming Roller also supplied.
And the club’s grounds team also have the continued use of a golf buggy for day-to-day tasks.
The tractor is used to power the aeration machinery and to help to handle the weather covers, whenever they need to be deployed, and the Jacobsen Tr320 is a new model from the Jacobsen range which is designed to cut sports pitches and high-profile grass areas.
Ken Conley from Rickerby said: “Rickerby Ltd are delighted to continue their long-standing arrangement as pitch sponsor as Simmo and the boys go into League One.
“We look forward to next season with great anticipation and no doubt, super Dave Mitchell and his team will produce another great pitch for the Blues to perform on.”
Dave Mitchell said: “Rickerby Ltd are fantastic to work with. They continue to supply us with some magnificent machinery and equipment and that’s obviously a massive help with the work that needs to be done.
“As ever I’m looking forward to that continuing for many more years to come.”
The Jacobsen Mower is built in Britain in their state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Ipswich.
Jacobsen is part of the Ransomes Jacobsen group of brands of which Rickerby Ltd is one of the oldest dealers in the UK.
