equipment dealers assurances OF a sue
ceSSful sale.
Used Equipment
Definite dealer policies protect the
buver of used equipment also. Good
used machinery is thoroughly recondl-
toned in the dealers service shop. All
needed replacement parts are installed
and the tractor or implement is tested
for performance. When selling used
machine, the dealer points to the shop
work order or job ticket which accu-
rately describes the reconditioning done
ON the machine. Parts which have been
replaced are given regular new
equipment warranty.
Thirteen per cent of dealers sales vol
urne comes from used equipment and
most dealers furnish a used equipment
warranty on those sales. This warranty
is usually for 80 days and commits the
dealer to pay so per cent of any repair
costs ON the machine. The National Re-
tail Farm Equipment Association has
made available to its members stand

The Farm Equipment Dealer:
Retailer to Rural Montana
BY WILLIAM M. HUMBERG

adjusts it and generally prepares it for
long and trouble-free service. Service
shop personnel then continue to adjust
the machine in response to any ques-
tions or complaints a farmer might
have. The successful dealer today has
come to realize that farm machinery
sale has not been completed until his
customer is completely satisfied with
his purchase, knows how to operate and
maintain it, and is getting the highest
production possible from it
The Montana dealer has a service
reputation which is comfort to his
customers. On all new machinery sales.
the factory itself promises satisfactory
performance. That promise is enforced
with parts replacement guarantee
which runs for either three or six
months, depending upon the manufac-
turer's policy. The dealer supplies any
necessary labor in installing replace
ment parts. The dealer backs up the
factory guarantee with his own repu-
tation. Proper use, proper maintenance,
proper performance and proper custom
er satisfaction those are the farm

average Montana farm equipment
dealer. Average implies ordinary or
common. Implement dealers are not
ordinary but they do have a common
interest The farmer is that main inter-
est-and satisfying the farmers ma
chinery needs is the dealers main
purpose.
In order to care for his customers
needs, the Montana dealer runs a big
business. He is the largest retail mer-
chant in town. He has invested more
than SIS, 900 in the future of his store
and the community If the farm equip
ment leadership was once blacksmith
shop in the alley-it is now certainly
a modern business on main street And
it is a local business, owned and OPP
Grated by one of your neighbOrs.
Many Services
Your neighbor who runs the farm
equipment store actually must run sew
era1 businesses under the same roof. He
is a retailer of new merchandise
the furniture store on the corner. He
has repair parts business-like the
automotive parts company. He buys
and sells used equipment the used
car dealer. He operates well-equipped
service shop-like the radio-teIevision
shop downtown.
Equipping the farm with labor saw
ing machinery is the implement dealers
main job. At any one time, the dealer
carries an average of more than $4O,-
900 worth of new farm machinery in
his store He stocks well over $50 diff
ferent items in addition to replacement
parts. He is constantly juggling this
huge inventory so as better to serve
his customers. He must stock more anti
freeze, tractor batteries and chain saws
in November. He must have more disc
p1ows, oil filters, garden tractors and
grass seeders on hand in April. In
June his customers attention turns to
az chemicals. hay rakes, sickle grinders
and forage harvesters. Because of the
dealers attention to his customers
wants and needs, those customers can
choose the exact machine, model and
size needed for their own particular
farming operation-and choose the ma
chine when they need it!
To get this machinery on the farm,
the dealer must go into the finance
business Sixty-five per cent of the
Dealers sales are of mechanical equip
ment and over 80 per cent of these
equipment sales are fl
nanced. Either through the Farm Credit
local bank, a finance
or by carrying the paper"
himself, the dealer must have adequate
financing available for his customers.
Trained Mechanics
When a farmer invests his money in |
farm machine, he rightfulIy insists
hat he get top performance In order
0 assure that performance, the dealer
must have well-manned and we'll
quipment service shop. The typical
ealer employs three or more service
pecialists. These Servicemen are not
ne trial-and-err0r mechanics of yester-
ear. -Four out of every five dealers
end their servicemen to special train
lg schools conducted by the factory.
his service shop is not just a side
ne with the implement dealer; more
