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

  • '' I really like the fact that we can use the G860 cassettes with the ES-860. I have the brush cassette, the spiker, the spring tine rake, and a couple of other cassettes, so it was a big bonus not having to purchase any new cassettes. The battery life is incredible - they hold long enough without having to charge them regularly. In fact, we never have to worry about them running out and we can comfortably mow up to two and a half, maybe three pitches on one single charge. They are much better for the person using them too, Vibration levels are very low, and you obviously get far less noise - I often have my earphones in and can still take phone calls when using the ES-860. They have had a huge impact and every member of staff loves them''

    Peter Sauer

    Groundsman of Bundesliga football club-VfL Wolfsburg

  • “With the ES-860 mowers we can be on the pitch next to the players while they are training, and they are so quiet that they do not stop us. It is a vast improvement in productivity. The battery life on the Dennis ES-860 is excellent. We were able to cut two pitches on one single charge, whereas we were struggling to complete one pitch with others”
