Rockytime Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 A week ago Tuesday Bushton said they would be sending my controller and motor. Two days later the sent me an email saying the motor need a special bearing and they had to order it. I'd just go to Western Bearing and pick one up. Well I Googled Bushton, Kansas. The population is 279. Oh that's why they had to order it. They have been good to apprise me on how things were. I know they are a small company and farming is their main business. I'd love to visit them sometime if I ever had occasion to go to Kansas. MTCowpoke22, SCROLLSAW703 and OCtoolguy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that time their saw motors were on BO for a couple of weeks. I was needing a new saw so I decided on a Hegner. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small farmers are all but gone. Still praying for you. OCtoolguy and SCROLLSAW703 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCROLLSAW703 Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 that's a fact, Mr. Rocky! Those of us that grew up & live out here in the agriculture industry see it everyday. And, sadly enough, the family farms are gradually fading because of low market prices, high equipment & fuel costs, etc. So, the farmer has to become resourceful to make ends meet. Investing in other endeavors is usually the first thing they do. The Farmer puts his many talents to work, along with his mechanical mind, & the next thing ya know, he has put together something the world can use indefinitely. Rocky, I sincerely appreciate the prayers, my friend. Lately, they have been valuable. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
