Trusted By Grounds Professionals
Hear from greenkeepers, grounds teams, and sports facility professionals who trust Hunter Grinders for performance, reliability, and expert support.
"“I bought my first Hunter grinder in 1995 and I’ve continued to use Hunter equipment at every golf club I’ve worked at since. I’ve always found Hunter grinders to give me the reliability and quality we need, and I’m a huge believer in relief grinding because it delivers a better cut with less wear on the cylinders. Keeping mowers sharp is critical for turf health, ball roll and green speed, and the quality finish we achieve with Hunter is second to none. The flexibility of the ATI system now allows us to handle everything in-house, and I honestly can’t see anything else on the market that does the job as well.”

Testimonials
Hunter Grinder Owners
“We’ve been using Hunter grinders for years because the results are consistently spot on every time. We only run full relief grinding as we believe it improves cutting performance and extends cylinder life, and the machine gives us the accuracy and consistency we need across every unit. The versatility is brilliant — from bottom blades and cylinders to larger commercial units and the automation allows us to keep working on other jobs while the machine runs. The reliability has been excellent, the return on investment is unbelievable, and for me there’s nothing better on the market for achieving a true parallel, relieved grind.”
Aaron Leech
Mechanic - West Lancashire Golf Club"Any resort/club whether similar in size and standing to the Belfry or not, will benefit from having a grinder on site. The cost savings alone from reduced downtime and utilising in-house engineers to conduct repairs and general maintenance on the site will justify the investment. To have a machine that grinds in situ offers even greater time and costs savings."
Bevan Tattersall
Head Greenkeeper - The Belfry"With the new Hunter Jupiter ATI, we get a triple sharpened, re-set and serviced ready to go back out on the course completed in one day. It’s made a huge difference."
Andy Ward
Head Greenkeeper - Ormonde Fields Golf Club"It can be a time consuming job to strip each mower to re-grind blades, we are constantly looking at ways to improve the turnaround time in the workshop. The Jupiter allows us to load the whole mower into the grinder without dismantling it. The result is that downtime has been reduced by a third. The new grinder has had a direct beneficial impact on the overall performance of our operation. Coupled with the Amazon bottom blade grinder it has contributed to a substantial improvement in costs, time management and efficiency."
Reg Matthias
Plymouth City Council"We replaced our old grinder with the Jupiter ATI three years ago. The Jupiter gives us both options of relief and spin grinding and produces a superb finish. The grinder is quick, powerful and easy to use."
Steven Clarke
Groundsman & Fitter – Newcastle United FC"We bought the Jupiter, over the next few winters, we did thousands of inches of grinding. The grinder then became an integral part of the business. It built our business."
John Whyte
Owner - John Whyte Lawnmowers & Garden Machinery"To achieve the perfect grass you have to apply a little more effort, dedication and commitment. Relief grinding will keep your units sharp four times longer than spin grinding alone."

Stuart Hogg
West Lancashire Golf Club"Based on our own experience with the Hunter Grinder brand, we can't really fault it. The grinder has been in use since the course opened in 2006 and is still going strong, and we've never experienced any major issues. Grinding in-house is a significant cost saving and keeps us up and running with our small team. David has consistently helped whenever required at all hours—he's always at the end of the phone, very generous with his time and advice and we couldn't fault the support."
David Beardwood
Head Greenkeeper, Spey Valley Golf Club, Scotland"I would highly recommend Hunter Grinders based on their reliability, ease of use and long-term value. Our grinder has been in service since 1995 and is still operating reliably today, which is a real testament to its build quality and durability. Being able to grind both cylinders and bottom blades on one machine saves space, time and money, while carrying out the work in-house delivers huge cost savings and keeps downtime to a minimum. The quality of cut is brilliant, it stays on cut all year, and it massively improves the quality of the course, the health of the grass and helps prevent disease. David's service has been excellent—he's very thorough with training, always happy to help, and you can clearly see how passionate he is about the brand."
David Munro
Course Manager, Fortrose & Rosemarkie Golf Club"We've never looked back since upgrading to the Hunter Jupiter. It's three jobs in one—I can relief grind, spin grind and do the bottom blades on the same machine, so you couldn't ask for better. It's extremely well built, incredibly precise and will last you a lifetime. Being able to do all our grinding in-house saves us a huge amount of time and money, and if we damage a reel, we can have it repaired and back in service straight away instead of sending it away. I can't say a negative word about David either—he's always at the end of the phone, no matter where he is, and his training and support have been second to none. You couldn't ask for better service."
