@big_akorede @crazyclipsonly It’s a catch and release program

@MaxBogey @turftoday To much hassle, just blow them off behind the verticut and you’re good to go

[Benjamin Avolio @BenjaminAvolio]

@MspPies2023 @turftoday Yep. Usually mix a tank up in the spray rig tank and park on the side off the collar to hawk the green

@sanmoy87 The bolts will definitely help, I replaced all mine. I couldn’t get the OEM ones tight enough to stop the scrapers from pushing away from the roller.

@theadvntrisreal They always hit the infamous “nothing”

@JeddNewsome I’ve used TurfAssistant in the past. A little clunky at first, but very robust. Great for task assignments and equipment management

@Frontninefriday @patrickjkoenig @BearDanceGolf Unless I’m mistaken, he’s just really tall.

@TheCrestKeeper Do you replace reel bearings yearly or as needed?

[Benjamin Avolio @BenjaminAvolio]

@chuck_stccc How do you like the Aercore?

[Benjamin Avolio @BenjaminAvolio]

@TimBrewster2020 Upgrading to red?

@NICKatheDOWNS Been there…

Not only would there be more employment opportunities making it more fiscally attractive, the popularity of the NFL would be a great tool in garnering interest in the industry.

[Benjamin Avolio @BenjaminAvolio]

The NFL (potentially) transitioning to natural fields instead of artificial would be a good thing for the turfgrass industry. Not only would it benefit the industry’s economy but it would be a great way to increase interest in the industry among the upcoming generation.

@srwilley726 Once you get used to them, you’ll be impressed with how many reels you can spin a day. He’s going to love ‘em.

[Reed @ReedBohm]

Dear Lou,

First thanks for all the numbers and stuff.

Second, please come mow my rough I’m short staffed and the expectations don’t change in the fall.

Sincerely,
Reed + probably every other superintendent

[Benjamin Avolio @BenjaminAvolio]

@ShaunC_1888 The number of these things I’ve replaced is quite honestly disheartening
