NEW MAINTENANCE EQUIPMENT

Golf course maintenance requires the use of many different types of equipment.  Some of the pieces used are common to construction and agriculture such as trucks, tractors and backhoes. The majority of the equipment however is very specialized and designed for the unique needs of modern day golf courses. Fairway mowers, triplexes, and walk behind greens mowers are specially designed and engineered for the intensity of modern day golf maintenance. We are fortunate that FCI has made a commitment to acquiring the equipment necessary to keep our golf courses in the condition that we can all be proud of.  Last year we added new fairway mowers, rough mowers, tee mowers, and utility vehicles to our fleet. This year we are adding new greens mowers, blowers, rollers, and sprayers to our inventory. Most of the equipment that we buy is specialized and only manufactured after we place an order. Our new equipment this year has an international flavor.  We have acquired 10 new 18 inch wide Barroness greens mowers which are designed and manufactured in Japan.  We have two new Agrimetal greens rollers and tractor mounted blowers scheduled to arrive from Canada. Agrimetal  designs and manufactures their specialized equipment in Drummondville, Quebec outside of Montreal. Our new skid sprayers are manufactured in Rocky Mount North Carolina. Most of this new equipment is needed to replace older worn-out equipment that we have been using well past its expected life. We hope this new equipment will allow us to create a better product on the golf course.
