new equipment

[Anonymous]

i live in south eastern PA. there are a ton of amish around, lots of horses equipment and sales. attending these sales i see all types of new equipment. walking cultivators, springtooth harrows with rollers, white horse plows with hydrolic lifts, power forcarts, etc. many of the manufactures are small companies (probably amish owned) that only supply a certain range of equipment. to come home and try to do any internet research on some of these pieces feels impossible. I and J, Pioneer and few others can be found but not many more. Is there a good source that collects information on lots of companies products? Can anyone point me in a direction.

The Horse Progress Days program has a lot of company ads.

Also SFJ a couple of times in the last several years has run a few articles.

I am compiling contacts etc. as we try to increase exhibitors at NEAPFD.

None of those probably answer your question directly. If you, and others want to use DAP to put together a buyers guide, I would be all over that.

Hey, you got it made. Go right to the shops and ask them. They will tell you what ever you want to know. Almost none of these folks are on the internet. Few have a phone. Most don’t answer the phone, anyway. They will all give you directions to the next small shop to help you find what you are looking for. A couple months ago I was down to get an old vacuum pump fixed. Picked up a dolly wheel for a mowing machine. Could have spent two more days, the only shopping trip I ever enjoy. Donn

A buyers guide of hard to find shops and what they offer is a great idea. Hopefully someone or group will have the time to assemble such a list. For those of us that are far away it would certianly expand our options. rdgfrm
