Greetings everyone, and welcome to the 20th edition of the Mazergroup Magazine!

A

s we leave one of the mildest winters that our trade area has ever experienced, we are all again looking with great anticipation of the coming season to planting the crop, starting the new construction project, opening the golf course and sending the cattle back to pasture. The tradition continues.

At Mazergroup, we always look positively at the future and are continually working to offer the very best in equipment, parts and service at all of our thirteen locations. To do that we need trained, experienced staff in all departments, an abundance of new and used equipment, adequate parts inventory and, of course, good facilities.

Throughout the last several years and continuing into 2012 we have made significant investments in most of our locations. In Portage we built a 17,000 sq. ft. canvass building for winter fix storage and big equipment set up. Also, in Portage, we are just completing an extensive interior renovation along with re-roofing and re-siding the office structure. In Brandon we have almost completed a very comprehensive interior renovation with ongoing improvements to the display and parking. In Moosomin we erected a 10,000 sq. ft. canvass winter fix storage structure. Complete interior remodeling is now complete in the Winnipeg store and extensive exterior work will take place later this year. Swan River will get a 17,000 sq. ft. storage/ set up facility this spring/early summer.

Along with a new roof, new shop doors and other structural improvements, Roblin will have a complete interior remake of their offices, showroom and parts department. Major plans are in the works for Killarney involving building relocations and new additions. Some upgrades and improvements will be undertaken in virtually ALL of our locations in 2012. Mazergroup is proud of our continual re-investments in our store locations and we hope our customers see that as our long term commitment, not only to them, but to the greater community as well.

At Mazergroup, we will never stop trying to earn your business. We are constantly looking to

improve our services to you.

That is why we are proud to announce the introduction of Mahindra tractors to our equipment offering throughout Manitoba. Mahindra builds more tractors than any other manufacturer in the world and we look forward to establishing a long, successful relationship with this exciting company.

Discussions are underway with another major industry supplier that would have a huge impact on our entire trade area and our efforts to diversify and expand our offering in parts or products is continual as is our eye to grow Mazergroup geography.

Stay tuned!

Mazergroup predecessors have been in business in Manitoba and eastern Saskatchewan for over 75 years. I have been an owner/ operator in the industry for 44 years. We are privately owned and any revenue generated from our business stays in our communities. It does not get sent off to Calgary, Toronto or further!! As you can see we continue to re-invest in all of your communities, we continue to employ hundreds of people from these and other communities and we have NO intention of changing the way we are structured or the way we support those communities. All we will focus on is our continual improvement in our services to you, our valued customers.

The great people at Mazergroup respectfully ask that the next time you need equipment, parts or service, please think of us! We would be delighted to work with you in any way we can.

Thank you for your past support and all of us at Mazergroup wish you the very best success in 2012.

My very best regards,

Bob Mazer

Hilding and Brian Olson run a 900 head beef operation in Faulkner, MB. In 2002 they purchased NH TS110 tractor from the dealership. The tractor has 19,000 hours of use and has been a very reliable tractor in all their farming applications. It continues to be a trouble free unit that they utilize every day on the farm. They tell us they would not change anything on the tractor design and this tractor has given them complete confidence in New Holland products. They continue to look to New Holland for their farming needs! www.mazergroup.ca

We operate a grain farm in Elgin, MB. My father has been a Mazergroup customer since 1959, I am a 2nd generation customer with hopes that my son will be a 3rd generation Mazergroup customer. Our yard consists of a new NH T9 4WD tractor, TJ 375, TS130A Loader Tractor, 2- NH Combines, & Swather. The sales, service and parts departments have always been good to deal with, and I believe New Holland offers a great product at a competitive price.

We have owned New Holland combines since 1973, from the first introduction of the rotor combine TR70 to the present New Holland 9090. New Holland has continued with the twin rotor concept since it’s introduction, but technology has advanced greatly. We like the New Holland combine because of the job it leaves in the tank and the field. Last year our canola dockage was less than 1%. The combine has a great threshing capacity and the cab is as quiet as any I have ever driven. There is great visibility from the drivers’ seat, with a user friendly computer onboard. Ease of maintenance and up keep is another reason we have continued with the New Holland make.

The ORIGINAL Vertical Tillage Tool built heavier to handle thick residue in the fall and heavy, wet residue in the spring. From our blade selection, select the aggressive, 8 wave, notched blade for greater penetration and soil movement..... AND, for field finishing and seedbed preparation in the spring, couple this blade with a combination of the 3-bar 104 Mounted Harrow and low maintenance Rolling Baskets.

Two ranks of coulter gangs equipped with self-aligning, tripleseal ball bearings provide uniform residue cutting across the entire working width.

Our Exclusive Hydraulic Hitch permits the operator to transfer weight on-the-go to ensure proper cutting in the toughest conditions.

Supercoulters are built “Field Tested Tough” with more weight than competitors, but only require low horsepower to penetrate and mulch residue into the soil without turning up root-balls or lumps. We have sizes for your operation in 15’, 20’, 23’, 30’, 35’, 40’, & 50’ working widths.

The SuperRoller is used to level field surfaces planted with crops that must be harvested close to the ground. Don’t let rocks cause costly repairs and downtime while swathing or straight combining.

The Summers SuperRoller features a Floating Hitch in field position, Rear Caster Wheels for maneuverability. up to 500 lbs Rolling Pressure, 36 and 42 in. Diameter Rollers, Relubricable Bearings, Mud Scrapers on each roller and a Unique Auto-Fold System. Available in working widths from 30 to 84 feet, Summers has a roller sized for your operation.

The New Holland MowMax™ disc cutterbar delivers superior cutting and superior protection—real advantages when it’s time to make hay.

We currently run a a TV6070 Bidirectional Tractor on our farm from Mazergroup Roblin. The 8 Speed transmission makes this tractor an absolute pleasure to operate. The seamless shifts of the transmission combined with the maneuverability makes it tough to beat for loader work.

TRUE BLUE TESTIMONIAL

Sales Manager/ Team Leader Dwight Shepherd

We are always very pleased with the service that we receive from the sales, service and parts departments at Mazergroup Shoal Lake. It is second to none. The owners and staff at Mazergroup Shoal Lake are always very accommodating, for example, when the bearing in one of our balers went, the staff stayed late to get it repaired and back into the field. If our tractor is ever in for repairs, they always have a lender tractor available for us to use. We currently own a New Holland T6050 tractor and two BR7080 balers. The reason why we chose to purchase two balers is so that my wife and I can go out and bale on a Friday night together! Which means, it only takes ½ the time to bale our fields.

Congratulations!

Rugged New Holland T5000 utility tractors excel in tough hay conditions and harsh loader work where lighter-weight tractors get pushed around. The largest model in the line-up is the new 96 PTO horsepower T5070. It’s perfect for working with demanding haying equipment like a Discbine® disc mower-conditioner or the largest Roll-Belt™ round baler. Every T5000 tractor model stands out from the crowd thanks to features like these: HIGHER-STRENGTH FRAMES, AXLES AND COMPONENTS RELENTLESS POWER FROM TURBOCHARGED INTERCOOLED ENGINES CLUTCHLESS POWER SHUTTLE AVAILABLE ON ALL MODELS 100% BIODIESEL APPROVED ENGINES FOR CLEAN BURNING ENERGy AND RENEWABLE FUEL RESOURCES
