Here’s something you probably won’t see too often..
Jacobsen’s Green Care Bio Hydraulic fluid, and this is the Veg based, is made by Terresolve, the same company whose hydraulic fluid we’ve been using for over 10 years. From talking to people at Jac and Terresolve the main difference is the Jac fluid has more additives. Generally it is more expensive. Not last time I checked so I stocked up.. I was even able to wrangle free freight out of the salesman..
This particular model Toro, a 1995 – 3100, is getting the standard Greens Care. The unit has 6800 hours and has just gone through it’s bi-annual service. That’s new lift arm pins and bushings, hydraulic hoses, brakes, front plastic rollers and anything else I can find. Because this has the most hours of any triplex we have it will be used as the backup for the Greens, Tees and Roller machines.
