Clearing out some old Stock

Making room for new gear . Had some time on my hands today to haul a few unused items out for sale .

First up is an old farm style trailer . $800.00 or best offer . Needs some TLC.

SOLD 

I'm guessing 4 to 5' by 14 to 16'. Very large single center mounted ram . It will dump what ever you put in it depending on HP of tractor .  Hydraulics driven from tractor .

Still good for hauling brush ,rock etc. If you we're to reline the dump bed you could use it for soil type material .

Banner Slicer . Was used in the past for greens and towed by a Cushman truckster with remote hydraulics .

Hydraulics are used to lift and lower wheels for transport . Would also work well on a small tractor . Also has the smoothing roller that follows behind the slicing process. 



The slicing tines are in great shape and are hardly worn . Parts are available through Eastern Turf if needed . This one needs nothing . $1,000.00 .

We have 2 Gradens .one at each course .

Very aggressive deep verticutting units . Work great . Only used less than a half dozen times .

Just pulled this one out and cleaned up a little .

Here it is running . Still has a tag on it . We are asking $1000.00 for EACH unit .Or if your looking to buy both we can work out a better deal .  Parts are available at Eastern Turf if needed . They ran pretty strong with no issues .

Old Ashburn 902-443-8363 ask for Jason (superintendent )or Bob .
New course  902-861-1175 ask for Brian (superintendent ) or Al .

I may have a few more items once the final decisions are made on equipment 

Season rapidly winding down and I'm waiting for the mowers to be put to rest so I can start our winter work . I managing to get a few carts done and all 3 flexes with parts in stock .It will free up a little time for the big equipment repairs planned to get ready for next season  . We  we're just under budget ( equipment maintenance) and waiting to see what new gear we are getting for next season . We also did the Toro/Club Car fall booking this year which will save use 15% and free shipping . This way I'll have most of what I need for the season and don't have to pay till April + save the club up to $ 1750.00 at the end of it all . When doing this try to carefully plan to get all your  usual wearable items on the order . When working at the same club for many years and knowing the routine well you will be able to make a justifiable order.

MDX (MD) sticky throttle problem and fix

Our MDX has a few season on her now . Still holding out well . Lately the throttle pedal has been sticking down causing the machine to keep running when you let off on the throttle . Pretty simple fix . After dismantling and cleaning up the parts I used a little never seize . I also drill and taped a hole for a grease nipple to solve the problem . My Toro MD's are a little newer but they will get the same upgrade  this winter . Good thing they have great brakes on them !!!! Ten minute repair. As a golf equipment mechanic you may have to do these type of alterations . Different climates may cause issues not foreseen by the manufactures . It will also prevent a run away cart running into a tree or worse someone on the course .   You can see my homemade plate to keep guys from pulling the throttle cable to make it go faster . They are factory issued on the MD's we have now .
