During the months of December and January our main focus has been the reconditioning of all turf equipment. The reconditioning process is a two step program. The first step consists of power washing and brushing debris and grime off of each working component. Once the machine is clear of debris and grime, Cody Duzan (Turf Equipment Technician) performs a thorough inspection. All equipment was disassembled and inspected for signs of wear or damage on bushing, seals and drive pulleys. Repairs were performed as needed. Reels and bedknifes have been sharpened and mowing heights have been properly set. This inspection will insure us that we are getting the maximum productivity, performance and safety out of each piece of equipment before the season begins.
January has also been a month to improve the overall shop storage and organization. We have added additional shelving and built specialized racks to store our handheld power equipment. We will also be organizing and rearranging the shop to minimize lost time looking for equipment and tools.
