Machinery
Complete machinery care that keeps you operational
Pro Sports Group’s machinery division exists because Simon Pilgrim has been exactly where you are, staring at a failed cylinder unit the day before a crucial match, knowing rental equipment costs a fortune and emergency callouts take days.
After fifteen years servicing Toro, John Deere, Jacobsen and Baroness equipment for championship golf courses and professional football clubs, he built ProMo to be what he wished existed: rapid response when disasters strike, honest advice about repair versus replacement, and preventive maintenance that actually prevents problems instead of just ticking boxes. We handle everything from routine servicing and precision cylinder regrinding to emergency breakdowns and sprayer NSTS certification.
Our service contracts include all oils, filters and blade work with fixed costs and zero call-out charges because unexpected repair bills during tight budget periods hurt, and we remember that too. Whether you’re running a Premier League pitch or a local bowling green, your equipment deserves the same expert attention and your operation needs the same reliability. We’ll always be the one that answers the phone at 4pm on Friday and shows up ready to solve problems, not create excuses.

Get Your Equipment AssessmentWhat's actually included in your service contracts?
Everything you need for worry-free operation: scheduled servicing based on manufacturer intervals, all oils and filters, cylinder and blade regrinding with replacements when needed, priority breakdown response with zero call-out fees, and 10% off any additional repair work. Fixed monthly or annual cost with no surprises.
How quickly can you respond when equipment breaks down?
Contract clients get priority response, typically same-day or next-day depending on your location and the issue. We understand a broken mower on Friday afternoon isn’t just inconvenient, it’s a crisis. We carry common parts and tools for on-site repairs, and if workshop attention is needed, we’ll collect promptly with realistic turnaround times.
Do you service equipment you didn't originally sell?
Absolutely. We work on all major brands including Toro, John Deere, Jacobsen, Baroness, Ransomes, Dennis and more. Our fifteen years of hands-on experience across different manufacturers means we can diagnose and repair whatever you’re operating, using genuine or quality aftermarket parts as appropriate.
How often do mower cylinders actually need regrinding?
It depends on your usage and conditions. Golf courses mowing daily might need weekly or fortnightly attention during peak season. Football and rugby pitches typically need monthly regrinding. Warning signs include visible cutting quality decline, uncut grass streaks, increased fuel use or unusual noise. We’ll assess your specific needs and recommend appropriate schedules.
Can you help with sprayer compliance and NSTS testing?
Yes, we provide full NSTS testing to keep you compliant, plus expert repairs when sprayers develop faults. We understand the regulations and can guide you through the testing process, ensuring your equipment meets standards without unnecessary downtime or complication.
Is preventive maintenance actually worth it versus just fixing things when they break?
The economics strongly favour prevention. A £20 belt replaced during routine service prevents the £2,000 engine rebuild when it snaps and causes cascade damage. Factor in avoided emergency call-out premiums, no lost playing time before matches and extended equipment life, preventive contracts typically save 30-40% versus reactive repairs while keeping you operational when it matters most.
