Bushton/Hawk

[Rockytime]

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.

I visited them last fall before deciding on what new saw I was going to buy. 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.

Hi Les:
If you stand there, try clicking your heels together and repeat after me:
"There's no place like home", "There's no place like home", There's no place like home
You may just end up in Kansas - It worked for a girl named Dorothy
Thanks for the feedback on your order

they are good folks, rocky! you'd enjoy their company, learn alot, & meet the the whole crew! some folks don't have the appreciation for the American Farmer branchin' out into other businesses. But you bein' part of the Hawk family, you wouldn't be disappointed on your trip, my friend.

You can take the boy out of the farm but you can't take the farm out of the boy! Love the farmer. Small farmers are all but gone. Still praying for you.

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.
