Toro and other products which
Century Equipment provides are the same products used to
maintain the most prestigious courses where major golf tournaments
are played.
To back up our customers, Century
Equipment has four supervised service and parts outlets.
We also have a service coordinator, who floats between all
locations and serves as a service education specialist.
All of our parts outlets are completely staffed and have
a 97% parts fill rate, with 24-hour emergency parts backup
from the factory.
Our turf sales specialists
are factory- trained, with several years of turf sales experience.
Most have degrees in agronomy and business from accredited
colleges.
All Century Turf Sales Representatives
have the most modern trucks and trailers to transport turf
equipment for demonstration at your location. This enables
you to see how the equipment will perform on your turf conditions.
Century has a complete line
of golf supplies, such as flags, poles, rakes, ball washers
and benches virtually everything from tee to green.
