INFINICUT mowers land in Latin America to help TMS Grass prepare for World Cup Qualifiers
Turf Managers Specialist (TMS) Grass have become the first sports turf contractors in Central South America to own a pair of 34" floating head mowers from INFINICUT®. Having spent years travelling the world to discover the top tools and techniques for grounds maintenance, Owner Enio Cubillo began to see the INFINICUT's at leading venues and decided that the sustainable credentials would be a perfect fit for their projects around Latin America.

TMS Grass began life seven years ago in Costa Rica and the team have since installed and maintained hybrid and natural surfaces in countries including Mexico and Guatemala. One of their most recent projects was to install a new pitch at Panama's National Stadium, Estadio Rommel Fernández Gutiérrez. "We were responsible for all stages of the new hybrid surface at the stadium in Panama City from installation through to the ongoing maintenance" explains Enio. "We wanted to use the newest and best technologies in the market to do this and was the reason for the purchase of two INFINICUT's from FLexGrass in May 2021."
"The INFINICUT's are very comfortable to use and being battery powered, bring multiple benefits to the operator and surrounding environment. We are increasingly finding that venues worldwide are looking for greener solutions so having two electric mowers is a great addition to the services we can offer. Since the stadium pitch was completed in July, the pair have been used on a daily basis, with everybody very impressed with the quality of cut and the definition of stripe we achieve." Enio has also praised the versatility and the adjustable parameters on the INFINICUT®, particularly the adjustable bedknife angle which means it has delivered cut consistency on the Bermuda grass construction.
Together with National League and LPF training and fixtures, the Estadio Rommel Fernández Gutiérrez is also hosting five qualifier games for the 2022 Qatar World Cup. "It's important that we are delivering the best surface possible and the quality of finish with the INFINICUT® is unbeatable. As important as the machinery is the support package, and we have had nothing but excellent service from both FLexGrass and INFINICUT® with any technical help we need, no matter the time difference" he concludes.
