INSIDE ACCOUNT: MESSICK’S PARTS

Day in the Life of a Parts Technician Kurt Ebersole unit is down, and others where the customer is preparing for the season ahead of time. One of the most important things I’ve learned is the need to be a good listener, and to ask questions, both are essential to provide the best solution for the customer. Whether it’s just a simple part that is needed, or addressing a situation where we did not provide the service promised and expected, it is my job to make sure the customer, at the end of their transaction, feels they are valued, and were provided with exceptional service.

As a parts technician at Messick’s, my job involves a variety of tasks. These tasks include answering phones and emails, helping walk in customers, looking up parts, picking orders, and keeping our showroom clean and well stocked. Much of the day is spent problem solving. Whether answering the phone or working with a customer face to face, the challenge is deciphering what our customer is looking for.

At times parts terminology varies from the customer to the parts catalog, which can be challenging. There are situations where a customer’s

Oil Science

Dave Shaw, Mount Joy Parts Synthetic, semi-synthetic, and mineral oils are three types of lubricants commonly used in various applications. These oils differ in their composition, properties, and performance.

Mineral Oil: Derived from crude oil after refining, it’s cost-effective and suitable for basic lubrication but has lower high-temperature stability, often used in older vehicles.

Semi-Synthetic Oil: A blend of mineral and synthetic oils that balances affordability and performance. It can extend drain intervals and reduce over all costs versus straight mineral oil.

Synthetic Oil: Engineered through chemical synthesis, it excels in high and lowtemperature stability, ideal for high-performance engines and demanding conditions.

In summary, the choice among synthetic, semisynthetic, and mineral oils depends on factors like application, budget, and performance requirements.

Synthetic oils perform exceptionally well at higher engine temperatures, semi-synthetics offer a compromise, and mineral oils provide cost-effective lubrication for less demanding uses.

PRODUCT COMPARISON

Roll-Belttm vs Pro-Belttm; Which is right for you?

Messick’s Sales In the competitive landscape of agricultural machinery, New Holland’s Roll-Belttm and ProBelttm stand out as formidable contenders.

Though similarly named, the Roll-Belttm and Pro-Belttm are two distinct baler lines by New Holland designed for different agricultural needs.

Roll-Belttm: Versatile Innovation The Roll-Belt series is known for its innovative design, incorporating advanced technologies for efficient baling. It offers features like the CropCutter ® system, which enhances cutting and crop feeding capabilities, resulting in uniform bales. This series is known for its versatility, providing farmers with adjustable bale size and density settings to suit different forage types and storage requirements. When equipped with Intellibaletm automation, the Roll-Belttm streamlines the baling process ensuring reliable performance.

Sunset Ag Fun Fact In 1989 the face of variable chamber baling changed forever with the introduction of the Model 630, the very first belt baler.

Pro-Belttm: Durability and Performance The Pro-Belt prioritizes durability and performance. Engineered to withstand demanding work environments, this line is resilient against larger volumes of hay or straw. With it’s robust construction and enhanced components, the Pro-Belt excels as a heavy duty commercial grade round baler.

The Pro-Belt’s reputation for reliability and ability to handle demanding tasks solidifies its position as an optimal choice for farmers looking to manage heavy workloads without sacrificing quality.

Fun Fact Messick’s sells enough baler twine every year to wrap the earth 3.25 times WWW.MESSICKS.COM

While both baler lines represent New Holland’s commitment to quality and efficiency, their defining characteristics cater to distinct needs. The choice ultimately depends on a farmer’s needs, balancing versatility and innovation against durability and heavy-duty performance.

EXPERT ADVICE

When searching for tires, it’s essential to consider three key factors: durability, traction, and clean out. Once you determine which factor matters most for your specific needs, choosing the right tire becomes straightforward.

Durability: If you’re dealing with projects where the risk of flat tires is high, durability becomes a critical feature.

Construction and demolition sites often use airless tires like Beefy Baby SDS and Hulk SDS. Although they come

PRODUCT COMPARISON

New Holland CR7.90 vs. CR8.90 Bryan Messick, Mount Joy Sales New Holland Agriculture, a global leader in agricultural machinery, has continually innovated and developed cutting-edge combine harvesters to meet the evolving needs of modern farmers.

Two of its standout models, the CR7.90 and CR8.90, have gained widespread attention for their advanced features, efficiency, and performance in the field. Let’s delve into a comparative analysis to understand their differences and similarities.

Power and Capacity: CR7.90: 460 HP, 315-bushel grain tank - ideal for mid-sized farms.

CR8.90: 571 HP, 410-bushel grain tank - suited for larger-scale operations.

Harvesting Performance: Both excel in efficient threshing/separation. With IntelliSensetm technology, grain quality and throughput are enhanced.

Technology and Innovation: Both models feature the Harvest Suitetm Ultra cab, the IntelliViewtm 10-inch color touchscreen display, and IntelliCruisetm, which automatically adjusts ground speed to optimize harvesting performance and fuel efficiency.

Maintenance and Serviceability: Both prioritize easy maintenance with accessible components to minimize downtime.

Fuel Efficiency and Operating Costs: Both are fuel-efficient, but CR8.90’s larger engine and IntelliCruise™ offers slight advantages.

Adaptability and Versatility: Both adaptable to various crops and field conditions due to advanced harvesting systems.

Conclusion: The choice between the New Holland CR7.90 and CR8.90 ultimately depends on the scale of the farming operation, specific requirements, and budget considerations. While the CR7.90 offers exceptional performance for mid-sized farms, the CR8.90 steps up in power and capacity, catering to larger-scale operations. Both models embody New Holland’s commitment to innovation, reliability, and efficiency in modern agriculture.

CUSTOMER STORY

A Dream Realized on Land in Hanover: How the Right Equipment Changed Everything Betty’s dream of land ownership For Betty Vancott, the rolling hills of Hanover, Pennsylvania, were not just a backdrop to her life; they were the canvas of her dream. As she embarked on her farming journey, the challenge wasn’t just in the land, but in finding the tools to bring her vision to life. Her search led her to Messicks Abbottstown, where sales consultant Kevin Dotterer would play a pivotal role in turning her dream into reality.

Betty’s first challenge was finding the right tractor, an endeavor that ended with the Kubota L3301 - a machine that promised reliability and versatility. However, it was the pursuit of the perfect mower that became her real conundrum. Initially, Betty grappled with a traditional rear rotary mower, its design forcing her to constantly look back, complicating rather than simplifying her work.

18

The breakthrough came with the introduction of the Lane Shark LS-3 attachment. This innovative tool, recommended

by Kevin, was a game changer. Mounted on the front of her Kubota, it eliminated the need for constant turning and significantly expanded her brush cutting capabilities.

Suddenly, Betty was not just mowing; she was effortlessly clearing brush along her driveway, trimming hard-toreach branches, and tackling tasks that were previously out of reach.

What made the Lane Shark particularly appealing was its ease of attachment and detachment from the tractor, a feature that transformed Betty’s approach to farming.

Gone were the days of wrestling with unwieldy equipment. Now, she could seamlessly switch between tasks, making the most of her time and her tractor.

Betty’s story isn’t just about finding the right equipment; it’s about the impact of understanding and empathetic service. Kevin Dotterer at Messicks wasn’t just selling a product; he was helping a dreamer find her wings. It’s a testament to the power of the right tools in realizing dreams and the difference thoughtful guidance can make.

Betty’s journey resonates with many who seek to make their mark on the land. It underscores the importance of not just the tools we use, but the people who help us choose them. In the vast fields of Hanover, a farmer and her tractor are doing more than just cultivating land; they’re cultivating hope, powered by the right decisions made in a dealership in Abbottstown.

EXPERT ADVICE

6 Tips for Finding the Right Attachment Rob Dewey, Business Segment Director, Woods Equipment Company Finding the right attachment can be overwhelming, especially for new tractor owners. There are a lot of factors to consider and it’s wise to do some research ahead of time even before you walk into a dealership. To help with the process, here are the things you should know before purchasing a new attachment: 1. Know Your Tractor: Understand the specifications and capabilities of your tractor and check if the attachment is compatible with your tractor’s make and model. Attachments typically come with compatibility guidelines provided by the manufacturer. To help take the guesswork out of the process, the Woods website has a “Match My Tractor” tool for compact tractor owners that can help you select the correct attachment based on your tractor.

2. Determine the Application: Will this attachment be used in a heavy-duty, commercial application or for managing a smaller, personal property? How many hours do you expect to run the attachment annually? More hours, more acreage and more rugged applications will need more durable, heavy-duty equipment. In addition, some attachments are engineered to accomplish a single task. Other attachments can handle a variety of applications or offer optional features that allow you to do several tasks in a single pass. Knowing the job to be done, terrain conditions and duration of use will help you get the right equipment for the job.

3. Ease of Connection: You don’t want to waste time and energy simply trying to connect the attachment. So be sure to ask about how easy the attachment is to connect and disconnect from the tractor.

For instance, the Woods Batwing® BW15 rotary cutter features the SmartLift™ System an exclusive feature designed for easy tractor hook-up, and Woods 3-point attachments are quick-hitch ready from the factory.

26

4. Evaluate Quality and Brand: Invest in attachments from reputable manufacturers known for quality and durability. Cut quality is often ranked as an important feature and indicator of overall quality. Look for proven superiority in evenness of cut and material distribution, backed by technology and testing. In terms of durability, low-quality attachments can lead to breakdowns, increased maintenance costs, and take more time to get the results you want. Look for brands with a longstanding reputation of performance that are tested and proven to withstand tough conditions.

5. Ease of Maintenance: Choose an attachment that’s easy to maintain and has features designed for simple upkeep.

Look for models that have lubricated blade pins from the factory and are easy to lubricate in the field.

6. Warranty and Support: Check the warranty and after-sales support offered by the attachment manufacturer.

Some warranties can be complex with a lot of fine print, which may contain exclusions or restrictions. To the contrary, the Woods Cut Above™ Warranty is simple, straightforward and on a single page. Compare manufacturers for the duration of coverage and whether the warranty covers parts, labor and freight.
