Pretty excited about getting a couple of bee hives on the course too. We're talking to an Apiarist at the moment. Looking forward to learning from him and getting some fresh, local, honey to boot.
Funny, I'm not a Toro fan either.

Last winter was all about servicing current machines and recommissioning machinery from the graveyard of "too hard" that the previous crew had given up on.

This winter has been spent on the course. We've been building a couple of new tee's, re shaping and installing new bunkers, revegetating and tree lopping.

I was out this week tidying, hard, dry, stumps from trees lost long ago ready for stump grinding.
I've been using, what I think is the most versatile saw on the market, the Stihl MS271. From light pruning to cutting stumps its more saw most of us will ever need.




I've also been giving one of our tractors a bit of love in my spare time, I'm half way through this old JD giving it a cut and polish. We were caught in the rain the other day and it did make me smile when it started beading, I better get onto the other half next week

Love my MS271, just wish I could use it more often!
