Combine a harsh environment and savage competition in the battle for survival. This is Africa, where only the strongest can survive in the oppressive heat and pervasive dust. This is also where machinery needs to be rugged, capable of withstanding intensive use by low-skilled employees whilst performing faultlessly day after day. African grasses can be tough. Kikuyu, a common grass in South African golf courses and lawns, is fibrous, vigorous and resilient. Its long growing season combines with its vigour to present a big workload to any mower. In combination with dust it presents an abrasive mix to blades. Yet the same conditions that encourage this invasive creeping rhizome allow the finest of turfs to thrive. The sporting traditions of South Africa and its ideal climate create a high demand for accurately cut playing surfaces. It is hardly surprising that some excellent machinery has been bred in this environment, and the very best is built with pride by PROTEA.
