Tuppco recently delivered a Lantra-approved ride-on mower training course for Ubico in Witney, Oxfordshire—supporting experienced operators in sharpening their skills, reinforcing safety standards, and gaining formal certification.

Practical Training for Experienced Operators

This one-day course was tailored for two highly experienced Ubico operators who have spent much of their careers working with pedestrian (walk-behind) mowers. While their hands-on experience was extensive, the course provided an excellent opportunity to formalise their knowledge and expand their capabilities with ride-on machinery.

A Balanced Day of Theory and Practice

The training day was carefully structured to ensure a comprehensive learning experience:

• Classroom Session:

  The morning began with essential health and safety theory, covering legislation, risk assessments, and safe operating procedures. Even seasoned professionals benefit from revisiting these critical principles.

• Workshop Session:

  Candidates moved into the workshop to carry out pre-use checks and basic maintenance, learning how to properly inspect equipment and identify potential faults before operation.

• Practical Outdoor Training:

  The afternoon took advantage of a safe, designated grass-cutting area, where candidates could put their skills into practice. Under supervision, they operated ride-on mowers and explored different cutting systems, including:

  • Rotary cutting decks

  • Flail mechanisms

  • Cylinder mowers

This hands-on experience allowed them to understand the strengths and applications of each cutting type in real-world scenarios.

Learning in Ideal Conditions

The session was made even more enjoyable by the sunny weather, creating perfect conditions for outdoor training. Both candidates and Lantra Instructor Bertie Tupper made the most of the day, combining focused learning with a positive, relaxed atmosphere.
