@KubotaUK hello. I have the mower below and for the last 2 months it's been clogging heavily on the deck. I will use it for an hour and stop but the blades will not engage again as they jam on the build up around the deck. I have to then trig it up and remove build up . Any ideas

Hello. Are there any toro cylinder technicians out there that could advise on cylinder missing. Cuts paper on one rotation then 2nd rotation doesn't. It's as though there's movement but everything seem tight. Bearings etc

[david thurman @dthurman32]

@KubotaUK is it possible to make a mower that collects grass as you cut? Frustrated with our GR2120

[david thurman @dthurman32]

@KubotaUK can you please design a mower that actually collects grass? Very frustrated with our 2 yo GR2120

Pitch pics ahead of today's win against high Park fc

[david thurman @dthurman32]

Couple of pics of pitch ahead of today's 5-1 win. Fert put on a week ago so healthy enough to start scarifying

[david thurman @dthurman32]

@SimonRudkins Had the same predicament myself. You know it's not right but has to be done

[david thurman @dthurman32]

Warm up area cut ahead of training tonight and a tidy up cut on main pitch after a damp game Saturday

[david thurman @dthurman32]

First length way cut of the year with the trusty toro216d due to the wet weather we've had. Fortunately maintained grass in goalmouths which would be good for the reno budget....if we had one that is

[david thurman @dthurman32]

Today's cup game with @shanklinfc is on. Rain for last 2 weeks so stayed off pitch. Needed to cut today and just about got away with it except top corner. 2pm ko

Couple of pics of today's pitch prep ahead of tomorrow's game.

@BrushesNwltd How much are these please

[david thurman @dthurman32]

Today's offering of lower league pitch porn 😀 reserves are at home to East Cowes Sports 2pm ko

[david thurman @dthurman32]

@bhafcsmith03 We buy a 600kg bag as that does pitch and training area twice. May not be what others do but works out more cost effective . We get it fro. Local turf company. When we brought 25kg bags it would be 8-10 bags

[david thurman @dthurman32]

First pic how it started vs how its going. Fert applied monday and a week of rain has made a world of difference.

[david thurman @dthurman32]

@JohnnyHolmes1 Some people have looked into things further and have a different view. That's life. Everyone thought Jimmy Savile was a Saint until the truth came out. Even so everyone should be able to pay their respect as they see fit. For me tomorrow's another day

[david thurman @dthurman32]

@PeteAlvis @SimonRudkins Hi Pete that would be handy. I'll look into it but if you here anything further please jeep me posted. Thanks

Trying to get some water down before the hose pipe ban on Friday.....not that it's possible to get enough water to revive the pitch. No decent rain since march
