Stump Grinding Golf Courses

[Stefan Palokangas]

Hello folks

 

Any of you have any experience working at golf courses with a tracked

stump grinder ?

 

I'm about to do get myself known at a few golf courses

 

I understand a wheeled one would be to prefer but I don't have one

Have any of you been turned down a job due to using a tracked machine ?

 

Thanks

Why would it make any difference?

If you are worried about scuffing up the turf as you turn have a couple of half sized sheets of ply to put down as you turn. Straight lines should be fine!

Always speak to and befriend the greenkeepers prior to moving kit about on a golf course, they will advise the best route and keep you off the sensitive area`s.

It shouldn't make any difference. Stumps are rarely to be found on the fairways. And I've never seen one on a green yet. Keep to the rough where possible.

Bob your advice is spot on. I sell to superintendents around the world and I can assure you that if your on the same sheet of music as the super you will be fine.

Coordinating your task and the supers needs will be criticle in order to be an established contractor with the course and others since they all network together.

All the best.

Thanks for the replies folks, I wasn't thinking myself it would make much of a difference. I am very careful when changing direction, and if needs a sharp change of direction I use a board. To befriend and keep information flowing with green keeper I must do.

Thanks again for taking the time to reply guys.

Don't wear anything bright as you just become a target 8:)

Never mind driving a tracked grinder across a golf course.

What about...

Being 14 and riding your BMX across golf courses on moonlit nights, jumping bunkers and doing skids on the holes...

I was not always a very good boy...
