White tractors at C.G. Farm Supply
ZURICH - Rick Gingerich, sales manager of C.G. Farm Supply Ltd. in
Zurich is optimistic that the upturn in the farm economy last year will con-
tinue in 1994.
Gingerich says, "1993 was a good year. Our sales of new and used
equipment were on the increase. In addition many farmers are repairing
and reconditioning their present equipment. Our service shop is real busy
and it doesn't seem to be slowing up.
The parts department is excellent and Gingerich says, "We have a large
inventory of parts, but we can get parts for anything we sell on a next day
basis."
All mechanics on staff are continually updating their skills by attending
regular schools on service training.
In this feature a year ago, Gingerich said he was going to Independence,
Missouri in a few days to attend a White dealer's meeting when a new
White tractor with horsepower in excess of 100 was expected to be intro-
duced.
It did happen and the new Agco White 6100 series tractors are in stock
at the Zurich dealership. The White 6100 series will provide more com-
fort. performance and value. It's a workhorse that runs like a thorough-
bred. Beneath the sleek new thoroughbred exterior is the power and per-
formance you have come to expect from a "Workhorse." You will still
find the strength of a Cummins turbocharged diesel engine and a solid
ironcast mainframe.
But, you'll also find a new 18x9 speed full powershift transmission with
electronic control for more versatility than ever before...a redesigned slop-
ing hood that tilts forward for complete access to the engine and a revolu-
tionary operator's seat that not only pivots, but includes an exclusive seat -
mounted control console that moves with you.
Three lever -type couplers, backed by a variable displacement axial pis-
ton pump, provide the capacity to handle today's bigger hydraulic -
actuated equipment.
Keep track of engine performance and field progress at a glance with
full instrumentation and a "Field Facts" monitor that displays engine
hours, field area covered, PTO rpm and ground speed.
A comfortable full-size passenger seat, complete with seat belt permits a
passenger to ride along in comfort and safety.
White's standard -equipment full powershift transmission provides 18
forward speeds and nine reverse speeds without gaps or overlaps that
waste power or efficiency.

for minimal downtime. The complete hood hinges forward with the help
of gas -charged cylinders to provide full access to engine, including the
dual element air filter. All lubricant filters spin on for fast and clean re-
placement. And extra wide cab -entry steps and a fender -mounted fuel fill
make filling the large fuel tank a simple operation.
According to Rick Gingerich the White Series 6000 planters are proving
to be a big seller.
Here are some comments from Allan and Neil Payne of Thamesford,
Ontario about the White Series 6000 planters.
"What we really like about the White planter is how easy it is to operate.
All the settings are easy to make. We have owned planters with air meter-
ing systems since 1976. What's nice about the White planter is that we just
go to the field with it and know it will work perfectly.
The I6 -row forward fold model we have now is uncomplicated to use
when compared to the way other planters fold. It doesn't have wings or
couplers to connect before planting. The White planter makes it easy to go
from the road to the field. It takes just one minute to fold."
C.G. also handles Speedy 5000 Series drills manufactured by United
Farm Tools which Gingerich says are ideal for all types of soil and for no -
till, minimum -till and conventional seeding.
White New Idea has a full line of farm equipment including planters,
tillage equipment and manure spreaders. White's no -till and narrow row
attachments are the right options for today's conservation conscious corn
and soybean grower.
A full line of White lawn and garden tractors and equipment is also car-
ried at C.G.
Despite a big swing to no -till planting. Kvernland continues to be the
world's largest plow manufacturer and C.G. carries their mouldboard
plows.
A full line of Case construction equipment is handled in Zurich includ-
ing backhoes, bulldozers and skid steer loaders.
C.G. Farm Supply is sponsoring a Planting for Profit Seminar at the Zu-
rich Community Centre on February 17. The event begins with lunch at
11:30 a.m. to be followed by a program on planting throughout the after-
noon.
C.G. Farm Supply was originated in 1962 by Cleve Gifgerich and his
wife Margaret and now continued by family members. The company cele-
brated its 30th anniversary in 1992.
The staff at C.G. includes in addition to Rick Gingerich, the parts depart-
ment of manager Dennis Estep and Andy Grainger. The service manager
is Cliff Gingerich and service shop employees are Ken Gingerich, Dave
Erb, Bernie Mathonia and Cory Gingerich. Arnie Martin is farm equip-
ment salesmen and the office staff includes Margaret Gingerich, Marlene
