Golf Ball Picker Replacement Drum

Operate on grass, sod, or turf and avoid abrasive terrain like asphalt, concrete, gravel, parking lots, or cart paths, which can accelerate wear and reduce service life.

Replacement timing depends on usage, turf conditions, and how often you pick. If you notice reduced pickup performance or visible wear/cracking, it’s time to swap discs.

You’ll need a 1/2” wrench and a 9/16” socket for disc/drum section replacement.

Yes, they’re designed for straightforward replacement so you can service wear components without taking the entire unit out of rotation for long.

No — remove the axle brackets, slide the drum section out of the drum frame, and pull the rods out only far enough to replace the discs that need replacing.

The quickest way is to measure one of your picker discs across the widest point.

12" discs = P2 Picker (smaller unit)
14" discs = P2 PLUS (larger unit)

Daily & Before Each Run: Inspect between the discs for obstructions like oak balls, acorns, sticks, and mud clumps (and any lodged debris). Clearing obstructions is best practice for disc longevity and helps prevent range balls from getting stuck and causing jams during picking.

Monthly: Hose down the baskets and discs to remove dirt and fertilizer buildup that can lead to rust/corrosion, and check for broken or loose discs.

If discs can be moved side-to-side, they’re loose and should be tightened. If a disc is broken, it must be replaced.

For best operational reliability and service life, maintain speeds of 8 mph or less during picking runs.

Yes. Replacement picker discs include a one-year warranty against manufacturing defects. The warranty does not cover abuse, neglect, or normal wear and tear. Wear rates can vary by range conditions. Facilities with dry, gritty, or rocky terrain will typically see faster disc wear than grassy ranges.

Use a golf ball as a guide between each disc to confirm a snug fit so the ball doesn’t slide down. If sliding occurs, tighten the nuts on the tie rod until spacing is correct.
