MECHANICS WINTER WORK PROGRAMME.

Throughout the winter months our mechanic Sean has been busy servicing our large fleet of machinery. This includes everything from our small powered machines such as blowers and strimmers  up to our larger Kubota tractors. During this time he still has to deal with any day to day issues that may arise.

The main workshop where all the routine tasks takes place. The large metal hose that can be seen on the wall to the right is a newly fitted extractor. It can be extended and moved into place ensuring that harmful fumes from any running engines are removed directly outside.

The back workshop where all the sharpening of the cylinders and bottom blades is carried out. All the large drums of hydraulic and engine oils are also stored here.

A few of the oil filters that will be used during the servicing work. We also stock a selection of other spare parts that are likely to be required throughout the season.

I hope this gives a brief insight into some of the work that takes place within the workshop during the winter months.
