ES-860

Testimonials

  • "The Dennis ES-860 is a game-changer for us. The best thing is how quiet they are even with the blades engaged, there’s no distracting noise. We can work on pitches while training sessions are ongoing without disturbing coaches or players. The ability to maintain one pitch while another is in use is a huge benefit. The cut quality is excellent – consistent, clean and exactly what we expect from Dennis. The built-in back-lapping feature also makes maintenance so much easier. This investment will be fantastic for the seasons ahead."

    Glenn Campbell

    Head Groundsman, Sunderland AFC

  • “We’ve had the ES-860 for nearly a year and it’s exceeded all expectations. From the first cut I knew it was right- the ease of use is far beyond anything else we tried. Noise regulations made early starts with petrol mowers difficult but the ES-860 allows us to cut as early as 4 a.m. for Sky Sports games without disturbance. The cut quality and finish are first-class and after a year the battery still performs flawlessly- easily handling one or two full-pitch cuts every time.”

    Steven Thomas

    Head Groundsman Hibernian FC

  • “We’ve used Dennis mowers for over 15 years, so moving to electric with the ES-860 was a natural step. Being in London, noise is a concern, but these battery mowers let us start at 6 a.m. without disturbing neighbours-a huge win. We use them on tennis courts for mowing and on croquet lawns with verticutting and scarifying cassettes. The wide cut and quick cassette swaps save time, while the consistent cut quality and easy speed control give us precise results. They’ve reduced fuel costs, lowered maintenance risks and really enhanced our work.”

    Simon Bailey

    Head Groundsman, Roehampton Club

  • “The battery life is excellent-we can cut a full pitch on a single charge. We mainly use the cylinders with brush cassettes in winter to clear debris and a verticutting cassette when needed. With petrol mowers, media often asked us to stop due to noise, but the ES-860s are so quiet we can keep working without disruption. I love that we can even talk over them without shouting across the pitch.”

    Jim Dawson

    Head Groundsman, Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium campus (SGM)

  • “It’s unbelievable- we can double cut our squares and still have 98% battery left. The smart charger tops it up quickly, and the mower is so quiet I can hear the birds while working. We no longer disrupt classes or exams, which gives our small team far more flexibility. The ability to adjust cassette and walking speeds makes verticutting more effective. I’ve not got a bad word to say about the ES-860.”

    Roger Neale

    Head of Grounds and Gardens at King’s Hall School in Somerset
