“
We demonstrated various makes and models when we were looking to upgrade our utility vehicles , and the liking for the Kubota RTV ’ s was pretty unanimous among the team ” Andrew explains . “ For the rigours of the golf course both during summer and winter time , along with the additional demands of winter projects which we mostly undertake in-house , the RTV ’ s give us the versatility and power needed , as well as outstanding off-road capabilities
including the Justin Rose Ladies series , Senior Open Qualifiers and the Regional Open Qualifiers .
The fleet of nine is comprised of four RTV-X1110 ’ s and five RTV- 520 ’ s , in a mixture of ROPS and cabbed specification . “ The ability to have a closed cab is something the team really liked and will be popular when the weather turns !
The 4-wheel drive and hydraulic tip are other notable features which helps us to maximise operator safety and productivity .”
Together with user-friendly operation , comfort and efficiency , Andrew also notes the back up from the local Kubota dealer , to ensure maintenance operations are kept on track . “ We are fortunate to have an excellent workshop manager in Bruce , who cares for all our equipment and maintains this to high standards each day . But we also have Lister Wilder within a 15-minute drive of the club and had the fantastic support of David Gray guiding us through the installation of our Kubota fleet , who made the process seamless for the team .”
