relationship Grangers
Ground Maintenance,
based in Hitchin, has taken
delivery of two new Toro size – as a smaller model it’s able to get into
some tighter spaces and manoeuvre within
them effectively. We’ve been able to use
it in places where we’d normally be using
a walk behind mower, so it’s saved us time
and made the team more productive!
Since its inception in 1986 company director
Martin Granger has built Grangers Ground
Maintenance up from a solo enterprise to a
company now employing over 25 people and
for most of that time Toro has been aiding
its growth. “In fact, the time savings we’ve seen with
the new Toro machines is really quite
impressive. We’re currently down a member
of the team, but getting the same amount
of work done, thanks to how productive
these machines are. When we’re back to
full capacity, we’ll be finishing each job well
within our timeframe which will be a big
bonus for our customers.”

multi-use productivity. This joins the Toro
STX Stump Grinder already part of Grangers
Ground Maintenance’s fleet.
“We chose the Z Master 7000 because it
really impressed us at a demonstration,”
Martin says. “It’s an incredibly well-built
machine with an impressive ground speed
that allows it to cover a lot of area quickly.

And it’s the perfect combination of the
quality of Toro machines and the excellent
back up service from distributor Reesink
Turfcare that sees this relationship
continuing, says Martin.
“Toro machines are always solid and
well built, but the service from Reesink,
particularly from rep Julian Copping, is just
brilliant. We have a tight schedule here,
so things need to be fixed quickly if there
are ever any issues and machines have to
be delivered on time when ordered. With
Reesink, there’s always a quick turnaround,
they’re always on the end of the phone when
you need them and if they say they’re going
