people wanting to find out more on the range of machines shown"
John went on to say " I'm really committed to get the great range of Sisis machinery out there, and Dave coming out here again is great to strengthen the ties between our two companies and shows commitment on their behalf to keep helping us expand in Australia, their products are renowned in Europe, Asia and the USA for their dependability; tough, sturdy

Dave enjoyed his time back down under again and he sees his products in the right hands. "Turfcraft Machinery are a young company and have made a big impact into the Australian market in a short time, John has a great range of products with a solution for every greenkeeper or groundsman.
