The phone is the fastest way in

Planting and harvest windows in central Iowa are short. When a machine question comes up, call the shop and ask it directly.

Say what you run, what it is doing, and when you need it back in the field. You will get a straight answer about whether we can help.

May to October, the season we work in

Every year out here runs on the same calendar. Equipment has to be ready before each step of it.

Before you call about a machine

A few details make the first call shorter. Have these ready if you can.

  • What the machine is, and the model and serial plate if you can read it.
  • What it is doing, or not doing, and when that started.
  • A photo on your phone, in case it helps describe something.
  • When you need it running again.
