Transcript

We are renovating this abandoned golf course and it's a big good. I'll explain why. Currently, our fairway mowers look like this and like this. Not exactly in usable condition. Doesn't really matter because our grass isn't at a point where we need a real mower anyway. Today, we're unloading the TriMax Snake yes three. Tighten bearing, rank, get blades. The hole is off better to get a cleaner cut. Super heavy tier, versatile machine that they're nice enough to lend us for the season. And it's also made America. We love made America. Ton to tell you about this machine. We have rain in the forecast. I wanna get a first test cut done. Took me all of, I don't know, fifteen minutes to do that. Next, we're gonna bring it down to three eighths of an inch, scalp down that fairway, put the rake on, try to get ready to seed here soon. Follow for more.
