Critical Winter Work

One of the most important activities that takes place during the winter months, is readying our fleet of equipment for the upcoming season.  Often times, this is the only opportunity during the year that we will have to break things down, give every machine a through inspection, and make needed repairs.

The check list varies from one piece of equipment to another, but typically includes grinding reels, replacing blades, checking hydraulic motors, hoses, tires, bushings and bearings. For some machines, the needs will be limited to nothing more than what amounts to a "tune-up."  However, with other pieces of equipment, "overhaul" could be a more appropriate term.

Once spring arrives, it will be go-time with the fleet out on the course.  As temperatures are slowly beginning to rise, we are all looking forward to the smell of freshly mown grass!
