Into July with pecan season coming! Do you have your equipment ready for the new harvest? Now is the time to start fixing or if you plan to buy, now is the time. You might ask why now? A couple of good reasons is not to wait until the last day when you need to harvest, and the harvester hasn't even been hooked to the tractor yet this year. Or if you take your shaker or whatever machine needs work on to the repair shop the mechanics have half a dozen jobs in front. So many times this has happened to all of us. Now if you plan to buy a good used machine or maybe even a new one buy it early, now, not in September or October, you stand a chance to lose your crop if the machine is not ready, and for the best reason you can save money. The dealers will sell at least 10% less before the season starts and afterwards it's supply and demand which brings the equipment sales top dollar. Metal price went up into this year 2004 so I can be safe to say we will all pay more for equipment and parts, about 6 to 7% because of cost of material and manufacturing. You can sell or buy equipment here or if you have questions or news and views, Post your message on the blog! John Pape
