Sale secured at Trevalgan Touring Park

/in , /by

Sale secured at Trevalgan Touring Park: When Neil Osborne, a partner of the family-owned caravan touring park in St Ives, Cornwall completed his research into the Ventrac package he was considering, it didn’t take long for the local dealer, Devon Garden Machinery (DGM) and the UK distributor, Price Turfcare, to spring into action.

Rob Read of DGM takes up the story,

“It all started with a call from Neil: he had already completed some in-depth research on-line and was looking for prices for a Ventrac tractor unit and a range of attachments. We had a short timescale in which to organise a demo as the end of the financial year was fast approaching.

“I put in an urgent call to Rupert Price, the UK distributor, and a demo was scheduled for the following Thursday. Rupert, his sales demonstrator Tony Doe and myself arrived at Trevalgan with Ventrac’s 4500 tractor unit, an Aera-vator with overseeder, a Finishing mowing deck, Power Broom and Front Loader and put each attachment through its paces. This enabled Neil to see the versatility, safety and efficiency of the machine.

“Within a couple of days, we had refined the package and secured the deal, with all the equipment delivered within 10 days of the demonstration.”

Neil Osborne added,

“The main reason I was interested in the Ventrac package was because of the ease of changing the implements safely and quickly on my own. The compact size and manoeuvrability of the machine is ideal for our busy campsite and enables me to get in to all the tight spaces.

“The overall quality of the machine and implements are excellent. I have been very impressed by the Area-vator as this helps to relieve the compaction of the pitches caused by a five-month season of continual use by tents, caravans and motorhomes. At the end of the season, this versatile implement can also re-seed the pitch at the same time, which makes the Ventrac very time efficient and I have been more than pleased with the end result.

“It also works really well to fluff the bark around the play equipment. The mower and broom attachments are regularly used and perform their tasks well. I would not hesitate in recommending Rob from DGM and Price Turfcare and look forward to dealing with them again in the future.”

About Trevalgan Touring Park

Trevalgan is an award-winning, luxury, five-star, family camping and touring park with stunning coastal and countryside views, just two miles from St Ives. The Park, which is owned and run by Neil and Annette Osborne, is surrounded by open farmland, with gorse and heather covered hills behind, and is within walking distance of the rugged and beautiful South West Coast Path.

The latest recognition for the stunning facility was made at the Cornwall Tourism Awards 2021/22, when the park was awarded Camping and Caravanning Park of the Year – Gold.

Spring sprinkler sale

Spring sprinkler sale: Toro’s Flex 35B multi-trajectory block sprinklers are perfect for a quick irrigation upgrade and right now are on an incredibly competitive spring sale offer of buy two get one free.

Block irrigation is a practical and cost-effective irrigation option for challenging times and budgets that are under increasing pressures, as Robert Jackson, water division sales manager at Reesink Turfcare, the sole Toro distributor in the UK for irrigation products, explains: “Block irrigation is a set-up whereby a group of sprinklers works as one. It’s simple but effective irrigation for clubs who don’t need so much control.

“That said, it also provides a perfect addition to irrigating tees in challenging conditions. Especially when you consider you get true Toro technology, innovative features and sturdy build, just in a more streamlined body.”

The same deal last year sold out in record time which is why it is back again. It particularly appealed to customers who were happy with their wider irrigation installation and not looking for big changes but were keen to improve their sprinklers in a cost-effective way.

Robert concludes: “We were really pleased with the way customers responded to the deal last year. We saw there was great demand for this kind of uncomplicated, practical and quick irrigation upgrade from Toro.”

This promotion is on now and while stocks last. Call Reesink on 01480 226800 or visit reesinkturfcare.co.uk for further information.
