The location of the hose was directly under the operators seat so the leak was difficult to detect until the cutting pass was completed. Once detected the leak was flooded with water in an attempt to disperse and breakdown the oil. Fortunately we have converted the oil used in these machines to a bio-degradable oil that is more environmentally friendly to the turf. These new oils minimize turf damage. Usually the turf will turf brown for a period of time and a slow recovery process will then start. Throughout the process the turf remains playable and will not track to other parts of the fairway with cart or foot traffic.
