In celebration of 40 years working together, Toro distributor Reesink UK and The Toro Company joined forces for the first time at SALTEX this week to display on stand K080 the biggest range of Toro groundscare machinery yet.
Alastair Rowell, Managing Director of Reesink UK, said: “We wanted to do something special at SALTEX in recognition of our 40-year partnership. We’ve been providing the UK groundscare customers with Toro machinery options for decades and our stand celebrates that. There are 10 machines – our largest selection ever at a show; a range of Toro and Perrot irrigation solutions for the sports market, and – another first – an interactive racing game in conjunction with Mark Blundell’s racing team, MB Sports.”
Representing all that is new, innovative, productive, and versatile in the Toro range from Reesink Turfcare was the highly productive LT-F3000 triple flail mower; the latest model Toro Groundsmaster 7210, the zero-turn rotary mower that is rugged and durable enough to be called a Groundsmaster, and the Workman UTX utility vehicle which boasts 25 percent more cargo capacity than that of others in its class and a towing capacity of up to 2000lbs.
They were joined by two environmentally friendly versions of popular mowers.
- The Toro eProStripe removes fuel from the equation of guaranteeing a crisp stripe to turf and means sports turf professionals now have the solution to English Premier League guidance for noise generation.
- Meanwhile, the Toro Groundsmaster e3200 battery-powered out-front mower with lithium-ion technology incorporates a smart battery management system for sustainable but productive mowing with zero emissions.
From The Toro Company came the Toro Revolution series Z Master and Grandstand and hand tools, the ProLine H600, and the 60V Flex Force Power System powered heavy-duty 53cm Proline and eTimeMaster walk-behind mowers.
Reesink Hydro-Scapes were present with irrigation solutions from Toro. The newly-launched Tempus Decoder System is the only decoder system that works in WiFi connection. There was also a selection of the brand’s best-selling and most popular sprinklers all with turf cups.
For many visitors this was their first opportunity to see Perrot, which is new to the Reesink range, and there was a selection of sprinklers to suit all types of sports surfaces including football, golf, hockey, tennis, and even horse racetracks.
This year Toro has proudly sponsored the Mark Blundell Motorsport Racing Team with a Vista® lithium-ion powered shuttle vehicle from Reesink to travel the British Touring Car Championships circuits with Jake Hill and his team.
The racing car simulators on stand (pictured) gave visitors the opportunity to race any car at any racetrack in the world with coaches from MB Motorsport on hand giving guidance on achieving the best score and topping the leaderboard.
The innovative Vista which serves as a crucial asset for transporting up to eight people was also on display
The whole SALTEX package from Toro and Reesink was the perfect way to mark the 40th year of working together.
