Kilspindie Golf Club has just added a shiny new toy to its collection – a Reelmaster 3550-D. And guess what? They got it through Reesink’s ReeOwn scheme, which is all about giving preloved Toro equipment a second chance. Head greenkeeper John Arbuckle, who’s been at the club for a whopping 40 years, decided to go down this route when it was time to find a machine for cutting the surrounds and small bankings on the tees and greens.
Why did they choose ReeOwn? Well, it all came down to price. The club knew about the scheme and thought it made perfect sense to take advantage of it and get the best machine they could within their budget. Plus, they knew they could trust Reesink to refurbish the equipment and make sure it was up to scratch for their links course. And as an added bonus, the machine even comes with a one-year warranty.
But it’s not just the price that makes the Reelmaster 3550-D a winner. This bad boy is known for being fuel efficient and economical to run. And that’s not all – it’s also super lightweight, making it the ideal choice for Kilspindie Golf Club’s hidden gem of a links course nestled in Aberlady Bay’s nature reserve.
John explains, “We went for this particular machine because it’s lighter than other models. We wanted something that would complement our Toro fairway mower and allow the growth to recover more quickly. The 3550 has 5″ cutting reels, which are perfect for our needs.”
With its lightweight build, three-wheel drive, generous cutting width, and impressive mowing speed, the Reelmaster 3550-D is a force to be reckoned with. And John knows a thing or two about Toro equipment, having worked with it for over 20 years. He says, “We’ve got a 3100 SideWinder, a greens triple, and a Workman HDX. Depending on the condition, Toro machines are always a great choice.”
So, there you have it – Kilspindie Golf Club’s latest addition to their equipment family. Thanks to Reesink ReeOwn, they’ve got a top-notch machine that’s perfect for their needs. And who knows, maybe they’ll be back for more when it’s time to upgrade again. Stay tuned!
