A cracking job, next week on to the 13th and 14th bunkers
After the vertidraining of fairways it was time to give the weidenmann a little TLC. It was washed down, cleaned and inspected for wear and damage. The machine is designed to be very durable however constant use for a month takes its toll.
Heres a small selection of the repairs, in total 3 springs, a reweld of worn supports, numerous bolts, 2 catches, 2 pins, a damaged tine holder and adjustment of height supports. This is expected to some degree and not all caused just by vertidraining fairways, but by general use over the life of the machine.
On the plus side the vertidraining of the greens in September has given space for new root development as seen in the picture below.
