Old Man Winter decided to come early this year. Are you ready? We are well stocked with snowplows, snowblowers, tractors, tire chains, and parts to repair your snow removal equipment.

Thank you for making our business successful. Because of you, our friends and customers, our business has continued to grow and thrive.

After many years of owning, and then consulting for Union Farm Equipment, Inc., RICK DODGE has decided to retire at the end of 2007. For now, Sandra will continue consulting and helping in the office. When Rick and Sandra return to Maine next summer, and the weather is more suitable, we will have a proper retirement party for Rick. All of us at Union Farm Equipment, Inc. wish Rick well in his future endeavors.

SALES
We have built this business with the best prices on the best equipment. We take advantage of volume discounts and pass the savings on to our customers. We are one of the top dealers nationwide for both Woods and LandPride. We buy directly from both of these companies and eliminate the middleman's markup. Both of these companies are known for their high quality 3 point hitch implements.

FIREWOOD
The high price of heating oil is causing more people to look for alternative heating sources. If you have a wood lot we can help you cut your own wood. We are well stocked with Fransgard forestry winches to fit most tractors. Our winches are set up and ready to work. They include a PTO shaft, safety screen, 2 chokers and 1 slider. Through February 28, 2008 Fransgard is offering $100.00 off any winch purchase.

We are the midcoast's Timberwolf dealer. If you are looking for a high quality wood splitter please stop by and find out why Timberwolf splitters are setting the standard.

SERVICE
Service is the backbone of this business. We all know, "If it was made by man, man can break it". Our factory-trained technicians are here to make certain your equipment is performing well and will last for many years. One of the best ways to ensure a long life is regular maintenance. Please call our service department to schedule an appointment to get your equipment ready for the next season.

Winter is an excellent time to prepare your equipment for spring. We are, once again, running the Winterfix promotion in January and February. Winterfix entitles you to a 10% discount on all repairs over $500.00.

We are also beginning the Commercial Care Partnership Program in January. For a flat rate we will inspect and service your commercial mower. We will then provide an estimate of any additional repairs. If the needed repairs are completed, we will offer a free loaner machine if we are unable to repair your machine within 24 hours during the next mowing season.

PARTS
If we sell an item, we have the parts to keep it running. If we don't we will get it for you. We even have parts for 9N Fords (almost 70 years old now). Be sure to check our inventory of used parts

Whether your snowblower failed in the last storm or you are getting the mower ready for spring our trained parts professionals are ready to help get you running.

GENERATORS
Union Farm Equipment, Inc. is proud to be the midcoast's source for premium generators. We are well stocked with portable generators from Honda and standby generators from Winco. We also have a vast selection of generator accessories. Why not stop by and talk with us about your backup power needs.

We are the midcoast's distributor for Meyer snowplows and sanders. This part of our business has grown rapidly over the past two years and we have enlisted several dealers to help us. The full line of Meyer products is also available at Bath Auto Parts, Just-Right Auto, Searsport Automotive, Topsham Auto Parts, and Wink's Auto Service. If you need help repairing a current plow or sander or purchasing a new plow or sander please call us or your nearest dealer.

KUBOTA
Kubota has partnered with LandPride to be their implement of choice. We can finance LandPride implements with or without a new Kubota using Kubota Credit Corporation. This allows rates as low as 0.00% for 36 months on implements. Customers who chose implements other than Kubota or LandPride may be subject to blended rates on a new tractor contract.

2008 will bring a number of new products from Kubota. The ever popular L48 will be replaced with the M59. The M59 features the HST plus transmission from the Grand L40 tractors; a 12' backhoe with available hydraulic thumb and almost 4000 pounds of loader lift capacity.

The extremely popular L4400DT will, at long last, have a hydrostatic version and skid steer compatible quick hitch. This tractor will use the Feather-Step transmission from the Grand L-30 tractors and for the fist time we will be able to outfit the L4400 with a Kubota backhoe.

The small B-series tractors will be updated and feature a roomier operator station and drive over mower decks. The new B's also feature a swivel seat and a Kubota backhoe with an optional mechanical thumb. It is no longer necessary to have a second seat for the backhoe.

Kubota's line up of Lawn Tractors will now feature more horsepower and larger rear tires. Additionally, the T-series will be equipped with a 3-in-1 Infinity deck. This deck will convert from mulching to discharge to bagging without tools or a mulch kit allowing the deck to be configured to the cutting conditions almost instantly.

The RTV utility vehicles will get a new addition in the summer of 2008. The all-new RTV500 will feature a liquid cooled EFI gasoline engine and a 2-range hydrostatic transmission. And, for the first time, this RTV will fit in the bed of a full sized pickup.
