@patersonjeff Wild fan here. Rossi is not injury prone. Look at his stats the last few seasons. What is in the water in Van? So much doom and gloom to the point of fabricating negative stories. I don’t get it.
Extended drain intervals. Here is a oil test report for our 5410. Went the whole season, almost 300 hours on this oil. Oil is in great condition still.
For contrast this is a sample report from our golf cart fleet. I tested 5 carts all with similar results. Fuel dilution is an issue. Using synthetic oil in this application is wasting money.
@ct_turf On irrigation: I think both approaches have their merits. Deep infrequent is great in spring and fall, but in summer when moisture is leaving the soil quickly you have to go frequent and light. Deep infrequent in summer can create hydrophobic areas from excessive drying IME.
Thanks to @ASGCA for recognizing our new Braemar Golf Course project for @EdinaMN with a 2018 Design Excellence Award. @RichardMandell is honored to be recognized by the premier organization for our profession in the U.S. Can't wait for the May 2019 opening of the New Braemar.
