OUR NEW POWER PACKTM
UNLOADER LOOKS ABOUT
LIKE ANY OTHER SURFACE
DRIVE UNLOADER.
BUT LOOKS ARE
DECEMNG! HERE'S WHY:
• Longer wear. Acid and abrasion resistant, stainless steel
impeller paddles will last much longer than low -carbon steel
paddles.
More capacity. New 1/4", 20° forward -pitched roughage auger
flighting design assures greater capacity and Tess wear.
• More convenience. Easier to raise for refilling. You don't have
to drag Power Pack drive wheels into their raise position, you roll
them - easily.
Attention to detail. From chipper wheels to auger knives, we
made everything better. And we added a remote start/stop control
as standard equipment.
o take a close look at Power PackTm. It's a lot better in a lot of ways!

3 THE RURAL VOICE
MACHINERY SPECIAL
Reavie Farm Equipment Ltd.
handles Ford -New Holland, Versatile,
Vicon, Hardy, and Overum.
BUSINESS CHANGES: There is less
of a market for large tractors and com-
bines. We've changed our attitude
and have had to look at the consumer
market, i.e., lawn and garden equip-
ment and smaller tractors as well as
shortline equipment. We've also tried
to improve our parts and service
department.
TRENDS AND INNOVATIONS: All
companies are trying to sell more
electronic equipment which makes the
farmer more efficient. The most new
equipment that is being sold has a
value of $5,000 to $20,000.
BUYING PATTERNS: Customers want
to buy a product from a financially
strong company which can supply
parts and service and offers the pos-
sibility of a good resale trade value.
ADVICE ON EQUIPMENT CARE: Take
advantage of pre -season check -overs
offered by dealers. This should save
farmers money and aggravation during
the season.
PROGNOSIS: There will be a steady
improvement in the next ten years.
There will also be more amalgama-
tions and fewer dealers. Farmers will
likely have more off -farm jobs if they
are close to large industrial centres.
