Hector Turf Information

Founded in 1912, Hector Turf was established as a farm implement and supply company in Miami, Florida. Shortly thereafter, the original owners expanded, manufacturing their own line of fertilizers, distributing it and other allied products to the agricultural market, local wholesale suppliers and the golf market. In the mid 1940's, the Toro Company established Hector Turf as one of its privately owned Master Distributors of Commercial turf equipment. Our product line continued to expand over the years as we added irrigation and consumer products to our Toro line and we added other manufacturers’ products such as Lawnboy and Club Car. In May 1982, current owner and sole proprietor, James Mantey purchased Hector Turf from the Hector family. In 1987, he moved our entire operation to Deerfield Beach, Florida placing us nearer to the geographic center of our domestic service territory (Vero Beach to Key West). From this facility we also export our products and provide support services in the Bahamas, Puerto Rico and the rest of the Caribbean islands. Our customer base includes golf course properties, resorts, sport fields, municipalities and a network of dealers throughout our extended service territories. Today while our list of manufacturers has continued to grow we are the exclusive distributor for The Toro Company, Lawnboy and Club Car (turf vehicle line) in southeast Florida, the Bahamas, Puerto Rico and rest of the Caribbean. Hector Turf is a factory authorized service center for all of the products we sell. We have a team of factory trained service technicians who provide repair services at our facility and who travel throughout our territories providing on location services. We host a variety of service schools and design seminars throughout the year for our dealers, golf courses, contractors and architects.
