Abstract/Contents:Discusses factors such as operator comfort, reliability, and after sales service that should influence the purchasing of equipment. Notes that a mower should be "sturdily constructed, easily adjusted, and driven by a reliable power unit." Suggests a powered scarifier for golf greens due to its "varying depths" that "remove some of the fibrous layer in the base of the sward." Adds that a "special point to consider is the ability of the machine [aerator] to carry out the desired operation with a minimum of surface disturbance." Mentions that there is a range of sprayers that include motorised [motorized] sprayers, wheels, and knapsack models.
