The Rural Voice, 1994-04, Page 33old 8N tractor," Kinder says. "These
machines are simple and reliable, and
that's just what many small farmers
want."
This demand for scaled down
equipment isn't obvious to all the
local dealers. Vincent, who carries
the Cub Cadet line of 15-18
horsepower tractors, says a higher
percentage of the small equipment
buyers prefer all the options on the
equipment. Gordon Holliday says the
small equipment buyer is looking for
good value in the equipment.
The market for attachments for
such equipment is one that is
sometimes difficult to fill. Lloyd
Watson of Watson Farm Enterprises
in Mount Forest says people are
looking for smaller equipment like
six-foot cultivators and discs for their
15 to 30 horsepower tractors. His
neighbour Holliday feels there is a
shortage of equipment for small
operators.
That need is being filled by a
number of small equipment
manufacturers. From small trailers to
New small equipment
manufacturers
filling niche
miniature manure spreaders, small
manufacturers are seeing small-scale
equipment as a profitable niche.. A
small company Mill Creek
Manufacturing Co. of Bird -in -Hand,
Pennsylvania, for instance,
manufactures small-scale manure
spreaders. The smallest spreader sold
by a major manufacturer is the 95 -
bushel machine from White -New
Idea Farm Equipment.
"We started because the Amish
farmers around here couldn't find
new spreaders they needed," said Joe
Glick, owner of the nine-year-old
company. "We built a 110 -bushel
ground -driven spreader they can pull
with their horses." But Glick also
noticed many small farmers in
Lancaster County who had horses or
sheep and needed a way to handle
manure. He built three models of
small, ground -driven spreaders.
"We've sold them to horse owners,
goat owners and even game farm
owners who raise game birds," Glick
says. 0
