Hydraulic Leak

Last Friday we had a hydraulic line blow out on 17 Tee while mowing. The operator noticed immediately and moved the machine to the path. He then grabbed a hose from the shop to water it in and cool down the turf. You will notice a dark green streak with yellow blotches on the tee. We use a vegetable based oil in our machines which does not burn the turf as severely and will not contaminate the soil for weeks to come. With the immediate action taken and cool temperatures I do not believe we will see any further damage. If we do, it is nothing a pound of seed cannot fix.
