Abstract/Contents:Describes Christmas wish lists written by equipment technicians on Turftech.com in 2005. States that "no new equipment made the list, just tools to take care of it. All wanted more tools to do better and safer work." Discusses wish list items, including tire changers, shop trucks, equipment lifts, lathes, milling machines, ironworkers, and metal-working tools. Details "more esoteric" requests, including "operators who treat the equipment with respect"; "minor redesigns of the maintenance area to keep the crew and sales people out of the shop and warm air in"; "pole barns for equipment"; "a tool allowance"; and "a 401(k) where there are none, matching employer contributions, and better vacation plans." Concludes that "one final wish, a commitment to a complete equipment-rotation schedule or lease."
