How to get rid of football stripes on Fairways.

 So lately my fairways just haven't looked up to par. I have ground all 3 of them with new bed knives. the cut is great but the back two reels are leaving stripes. I decided to try putting these collars on the front rollers on the two rear reels. Each reel takes 6 collars.

The collars go on the 3 outside grooves. Be careful when tightening the screws. The directions say leave a .030 gap on each side of the collar. Follow the directions or you will crack the collars at the screw holes.

Setting up Toro 648 Aerifier with dimple tines

 



 

 Ok so after a bit of pressure washing and letting it dry. Getting ready to run the dimple tines across a few greens.. I will say that if you don't have a Toro 648 you need to get one. Hands down the best Aerifier on the market.

 

 First pull off the solid tine blocks.

 Next pull off the turf guards and hold downs. I just leave the nuts off just in case. Last thing I need is for one of them to come off on a green. My luck a greens mower will find it.

Put the dimple tines and blocks on machine. I will post a video next week of machine in action.
