Winter Equipment Maintenance
Published January 12, 2006
During the winter months the turf care staff will thoroughly inspect and perform all necessary repairs and maintenance on the entire equipment fleet. During this process the mechanic discovered a broken tooth on one of the gears in the rear-end on this utility vehicle. To prevent additional damage and to ensure for reliable service in the future this gear will need to be replaced.
In addition to repairs the cutting units must be sharpened each year to maintain a lazer-like cut. This photo shows a fairway cutting unit being ground on a reel grinder.

work indistinguishable from nature itself. "
