Greetings:

Contrary to some expectations, business has been great. The wet spring has spurred lawnmower sales. Low interest rates have helped us sell more tractors. The hard part right now is keeping up with demand.

The good news is that most products are in adequate supply for the moment. With a few exceptions, we are able to meet most orders right now.

We are continuing to offer big box store prices with small store service. All of our equipment is set up, full of fuel, tested and ready to work. We offer training to all purchasers and delivery is available on many items. We want to be your source for all your outdoor power equipment needs.

KUBOTA

The big news is that the "Real Deal " has been extended until August 31, 2003. Kubota will continue to offer 0.00% APR for 36 months on lawn tractors and compact tractors and 2.99% APR for 60 months on compact tractors.

BX22 tractor loader backhoes, 4 cylinder B-series, and L3130DT's are in short supply. If you are looking for one of these models we recommend getting your name on our list. Having the "Real Deal" extended should help every one who is waiting for their tractor.

We have just received a container of tractors to help with inventory shortages. B7500HSD's, L3000DT's and L4300DT's are in good supply.

We have just reduced the price on the L3000DT and L2600DT to $14,990.00 and $13,990.00 respectively. These tractors have always been a large segment of our sales and we want to continue to provide the most value possible for your investment - a great choice if you have been thinking about a used tractor or a second tractor.

PARTS AND SERVICE

Our parts department has new lower pricing on baler twine. They are well stocked with knives and sections to keep your haying equipment running. Of course we have a good selection of blades to keep your lawnmower, grooming mower and rotary cutter mowing nicely. We continue to have our Parts Department open all day Saturday.

Our mobile service van has been busy this spring. If you have yet to service your equipment please give Wendell a call to schedule a visit to your site.

PUG

Pug is continuing to grow and improve. This company specializes in Cargo All Terrain Vehicles. They are committed to building the finest lineup of CATV's in the country. The best news we have heard from Pug is the addition of Honda engines to their vehicles. Soon we will have the new PUG Back Forty with a price under $6,000.00.

We have just received a truckload of Pugs including a 4X4 with the Honda engine. The ever-popular Badlands are in good supply. This vehicle articulates and oscillates. It is powered by a 20 hp Kohler mated to an automotive 4 speed manual transmission. If you need to get off the beaten path or if you are just looking for the ultimate utility vehicle stop by and try a PUG.

FIREWOOD

Winter is coming sooner than most would like. Whether wood is your primary source of heat or if you are concerned that oil prices will sky rocket again we are well stocked to help save on your heating bills. Echo produces some of the finest chainsaws in the industry. Echo Chain Saws carry a one-year commercial warranty and a two-year homeowner warranty. Timberwolf produces a complete line of wood splitters for home and professional use. These units feature Honda engines for many years of reliable service. Fransgard logging winches continue to be a good seller for low impact logging operations.

SNOWBLOWERS

Old Man Winter is on the way. We should get our snowblowers in August. We will have a complete line of walk behind and tractor mounted snowblowers in time for fall.

Toro has completely redesigned their walk behind snowblowers. The new "Power Max" auger minimizes clogging in tough winter conditions. One simple to operate "Quick Stick" control controls all the chute rotation and deflector. These two stage self-propelled snowblowers start under $1,000.00.

Honda will once again offer their complete line of hydrostatic drive snowblowers. Hondas are available with 7, 9 and 11 hp engines to fit almost every size driveway. These units have proven themselves time and time again in the worst storms.

Woods and Ber-Vac offer three point hitch snowblowers to fit most compact tractors. Kubota and New Holland offer front mounted snowblowers for their compact tractors. Snowblowers are likely to be in short supply after last winter. If you have just purchased a new house or if the old snowblower is getting tired now is the time to reserve your new snowblower.

GENERATORS

Whether you are getting ready to take the family camping or getting ready for hurricane season we have a generator to fits most needs. The Honda EU series are super quiet and offer between 1000 and 3000 watts of 120v power. These units are perfect for a camp or camper. You and your neighbors will appreciate the low decibel level of these generators.

If you are planning ahead for hurricanes and ice storms, be sure to check out our stock of portable generators. We are well stocked with units from 3500 to 6500 watts to supply backup power during outages. All Honda generators, 3500 watts and larger, qualify for our 2 cents sale. While supplies last, all qualifying generators, are priced 2 cents per watt off our every day low prices.

SPREADERS

Millcreek compact manure spreaders are one of the most complete lines of small spreaders available today. From ground drive units that can be pulled by a lawn tractor or ATV to PTO drive units which can hold yards of material, these spreaders feature innovations like a no rust, no rot poly floor with a 20-year warranty. They also offer a John Lyons Signature series with a 10-year side warranty. With sizes ranging from 15 to 125 bushels and prices starting at less than $1,000.00 there is a Millcreek to fit every small stable.
