In the past year Huron Tractor has purchased a new highway truck and recently a detachable combine trailer and Rudderham says this type of trailer will cut loading and unloading time by about 50 percent. Investments like these are needed to keep up with the expectations of our customers. Huron Tractor's Mission Statement is dedicated to serve the customer bet- ter with retraining and rededication of all employees. Bill Baker is now the in-house technical trainer and the new technical manager is Charlie Wise. The objective of the in -dealership training program is to have employees learn the product and be trained more quickly and more efectively. Dennis Johns is the company's new field technician. Four fully equipped service vans are on the road. Two are out of the Exeter operation and one eat h from Blyth and Thameiford. The service vehicles are fully equipped to do minor repairs in the field. Within the past year, a Huron Tractor dealership has been established in Thamesford with partner Henry Winters as store manager. The same high quality of sales and service is available in Blyth and Thamesford as in the Exeter operation. Real emphasis is put on keeping f ers' equipment running during the use season. With a total staff of over60 ple, 35 are dedicated to provid- ing service parts and service repairs. "One of the keys to keeping our farm- ers profitable" says sales manager Frank Winters is preventative mainte- nance on their machinery. The difficult harvest season of 1992 proved how important it was to have equipment well maintained. A committment to Annual Service Inspections will guarantee well -working machinery in the fields. During the winter months these inspections are carried out in 20 bays of modern shop space with service technicians using high-tech diagnostic equipment. Top quality inspections guarantee less down-time in the valu- able harvesting season and increase the resale value of equipment. When each piece of equipment has been inspected it receives a "Seal of Reliabili- ty" saying, "This machine has had its Annual Service Inspection." Over the last three years, Johq Deere has introduced a full line of new tractors and combines. These models, 6000 Series and 7000 Series trac and Maximizer combines are designed with more electronic controls and more safety features aimed at increasing performance, comfort and ease of operation.

If you are 1 ing for cleaner grain samples to lower dockage and boost premiums, check ut John Deere's exclusive Quadra-Flo cleaning system. With its unique precleaner, nothing takes out weeds, stems, and debris bet- ter than Quarda-Flo. Meet the first true combine engine. It's powerful and fuel efficient. And you'll find it only in a John Deere Maximizer combine. The exclusive electronic engine control unit actually thinks like a com- bine works. It offers programmed fuel delivery for torque curves tailored exactly to combine power needs. So when the enine lugs and falls below rated speed, the ECU meters adjust the right amount of extra fuel. The steep torque rise and Power Bulge keep a Maximizer combine cruising along at peak threshing, separating, and cleaning efficiency.
