    • There's no substitute for regular maintenance
      It goes without saying that mowers, especially the cylinder models used on greens, tees, surrounds and fairways, must be well maintained and set up correctly to ensure that you get a maximum return on your investment. With tighter budgets, machines are being asked to work harder and longer, so maintaining them correctly has become even more important for some clubs as the financial squeeze takes hold.
