Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the "idea of mowing fairways and dispersing clippings at the same time" to save labor and costs on the golf course. States that "the Buffalo Turbine blower was the most effective way to disperse clippings [and] that it might be possible to connect the Buffalo Turbine Cyclone KB3 blower to the back of [a] John Deere 3235B fairway mower." Explains that "the operator begins with two mower passes up and down the middle of the fairway. On successive mowing passes, the blower nozzle is pointed to the previous pass in that direction and the clippings are dispersed." Reports that "the maintenance staff benefits through reductions in fuel, labor, equipment and improvements in productivity." Concludes that "labor issues and productivity will continue to play an important role in golf course maintenance for many years to come." |
