Equipment issues

We were in the process of topdressing fairways and we got 5 fairways done before our spreader broke down. I had planned on topdressing until dark, taking advantage of our Monday maintenance day, but unfortunately I had to send the boys home a little earlier than expected. I've had a new spreader on order for about a month now and should be here by next week. This is one of the main reasons that we try to replace equipment before it's completely broken down. Reliability becomes a major issue and in this case we will now have to do most of the topdressing this week in play.

We are fortunate enough that TRCC does give us sufficient capital to replace our equipment when needed -so we can avoid situations like this. Unfortunately we got a little unlucky with this one - seeing our new spreader will be here next week.
