| Question: | "We have been using a very heavy tractor for pulling our mowing equipment. We find a number of clubs are changing to the use of lighter tractors. Do you consider the use of heavy machinery to be injurious to turf?" |
|---|
| Source of Question: | Tennessee |

| Answer/Response: | "We believe that the superior advantage of lighter tractors have been exaggerated. It is true that the use of very heavy machinery is injurious to turf on heavy soils, but on lighter soils it is rare that any injury occurs. Turf must be sufficiently rolled in some manner so that the soil becomes firm enough to prevent heel prints being made. We think there is no question but that soil should be compacted at least to that extent; whether it should be still more solidly compacted is a question about which opinions differ." |
