Had such a great time yesterday spending the day with everyone touring new and old maintenance facilities to gather ideas and inspiration to take back with us. Big thanks to the hosting facilities @Turftech561, Panther National, Mirasol, and Loxahatchee Club. @nate_watkin @FGCSA @GCSAA_SouthAtl thank you all for making this happen. Hope to see more of this around the state.
An extreme unparalleled cutting unit I setup thanks to the JD eccentrics to showcase to our team here why it’s so important to have rollers paralleled to cylindrical reels. Twisted frames and coned reels are some of the reasons why we could see something like this across all colors of cutting units. Heights good and cuts paper just isn’t a good enough look into a cutting unit.
Life just got easier maintaining cutting unit squareness at The JIC thanks to @JPsTurf front roller brackets. Only took a few minutes to use them to align the side plates and then dial in the front roller alignment to the reel. No more headaches with the OEM eccentric’s.

Great turnout for our EM seminar covering different types of lubricants and their benefits to our operations. Big thanks to @Turftech561 for hosting this event and @palmdaleoilco for presenting the material. Had a great time networking with everyone.
Knocking out a fwy unit yesterday afternoon as well as training our part time assistant mechanic David. He did an awesome job!

Event coming up in April hosted by @Turftech561. Look forward to seeing all who attend. Please be sure to RSVP if attending. @nate_watkin @FGCSA
Had some bedknifes that were showing different levels of life and thickness on our new toro greens mowers. Chucked them up in the Ideal 6000 and it was clear we had some twist as well as not parallel to the pivot bolts. 3 out of 5 being a concern. Now these bars will be excellent. Little investment in consistency.

Great day today hosting David and @FireFlyAuto. What an awesome machine for our future in golf. Thank you fielding all of our questions and demonstrating your machine’s capabilities.
One of the reasons I got away from a grinder that indexes off the shaft. They aren’t perfect and to keep from grinding a taper into a good reel we had to paint pen mark shafts so we could maintain our standards.
Friday night sparks on the garage units. Time to freshen up these fwy reels.
