One of the most important tasks that grounds crews perform throughout the entire growing season is keeping turf neatly trimmed, according to an article from Building Operating Management on the FacilitiesNet website.
So it is critical that managers ensure their departments’ mowers can deliver performance, week after week.
In assessing mower performance and department needs, managers need to ask whether it is more cost-effective to continue repairing an existing mower or to replace it. How many seasons can a manager expect to get out of a mower before replacement becomes the best option?
Managers facing this decision need to consider a number of factors in answering these questions, including total cost of ownership and efficiency costs.
