Greens Mowers Going Green!

While I was at Nutters Crossing in 2006, we changed out our greensmowers from regular hydraulic oil to biodegradable oil.  This investment paid for itself many, many times over.  One of the drawbacks to riding greensmowers always has been potential hydraulic leaks.  The resulting damage required soil removal, tedious sod work and a lot of nurturing.  With bio oils, the main thing that happens is the tops of the plants get burned.  The damage can be topdressed and fertilized out.  We are doing the same thing to our mowers here at OCGC.  The greensmowers are being converted over to the Bio Hy-Guard II.  Hopefully we never see the benefits of this product.
