Precision Manufacturing - Bill Reed manufactures an amazing tree-clipper that mounts to the 3pt lift., loader arms, or loader bucket of a tractor as well as a skid steer mount. The Clipper cuts up to a 8-10" hardwood, and rotates to trim limbs or cut down an entire tree. The best part of all is that it really works well, and is built to last. It is much safer than standing in a loader bucket with a chainsaw, and also keeps your tractor tires from being punctured while cutting thorny trees. And even though Bill is a Kansas Jayhawk fan, I still don't hold it against him......too much. :)
Hi-Pro Manufacturing - Herb Stamm created the original B-33 Mole knife used to apply anhydrous ammonia, sub-soil, and/or apply different types of fertilizer. We use this knife on our Pasture Renovator, as they are made to maximize sub-soiling with the least throwing of soil. It also is a long lasting knife and seals incredibly well. Since Herb's passing, his son Cliff has continued to not only make the knife but also keep on improving it just like his father. So feel free to go to his site to get the latest news on new knife models.
Sims Cab Depot - Chuck Crawford makes after-market cabs, enclosures, and sunshades for numerous tractors that otherwise have no cab option. Based in Canada, the cabs are very well built and seal out dust and water very nicely. You can even get optional A/C for the cabs! Chuck and his family are good people, so drop by and see if they have a cab for your tractor.
Paxton Enterprises - Dad and Joe Paxton go way back showing together at the Indiana State Fair, and continue to show together at numerous shows to this day. Joe sells very nice decorative windmills, wireless driveway alarms, and numerous other handy products. Go ahead and give Joe a look, you just never know what new neat product he will find next.
T&B Welding - Todd Patterson manufactures a real slick hay hauler transport that allows you to dump the bales without unhooking from your pickup or needing a tractor. It has a bar that swings around and releases the double latch, then after lifting an inch or two, gravity takes over. All the bales get unloaded at once, so you save alot of time and labor. You can do the job of two people by yourself! These trailers are also built like tanks. Go check out the simplest yet effective hay trailer out on the market.
Werkmeister Welding - Kevin Workmeister and his father manufacture a high-quality Creep Feeder, along with heavy gauge metal feed bunks. No corners are cut in the manufacturing of thier products.They are hard working guys from South Dakota and incredibly nice to boot.
Schaffert Manufacturing - Paul Shaffert manufactures the Rebounder, a planter or drill attachment that settles the seed at the ideal depth and position. It can increase your stand count and maximize your yeild. It is nice to see such a small product create such big results. Paul goes to a few farm shows with us, and really has an effective product. Check his site out for more information on how to increase your yields..
Midwest Farm Shows - We attend alot of the farm shows these guys created. They are some of the best in the business, and very nice/helpful people. They make farm shows that both the exhibitor and the farmer leave feeling satisfied ( a nearly impossible task...hehe). A mark of a good farm show is that it is able to grow yearly in attendance of both visitors and exhibitors. Every farm show they host is always growing and extremely well promoted. Head on over to their site and check to see if they have an upcoming farm show in your area.
