The quality of these machines is unbeatable : the finish , the usability , the longevity , it ’ s a whole package .
Not only can it get under and around trees and other hard-to-reach places while bringing precise control to delicate jobs such as trimming around bunkers , water features , tee boxes and greens edges on the golf course but it also means that more junior members of staff can perform expert edging , as well as trimming neatly and closely around sensitive areas while keeping the mower ’ s wheels a safe distance away .
“ The quality of these machines is unbeatable : the finish , the usability , the longevity , it ’ s a whole package ,” Craig continues . “ Everyone agrees . Using them is saving us a huge amount of time as we don ’ t have to go through the hassle of setting them up . Plus , we ’ ve had far fewer breakdowns . The frequency of breakdowns of our previous machine is what put us off buying them again . But with Toro , we ’ ve had a break down this week for the first time since we bought them from distributor Reesink two years ago .
“ They were minor issues and solved quickly by Reesink as they were still under warranty . The chances of Toro machines breaking down are very slim – it does happen , obviously , but it ’ s not common – that ’ s the difference . And that puts us at ease since downtime is not an option .
“ Toro just seems to work on our golf course ,” Craig concludes . “ Especially the Sidewinder . Its performance has exceeded expectations and we hope to benefit from more of Toro ’ s technology in the future .”
