About this time last year, we spent some time talking about everything there is to know about John Deere and their wide selection of compact and full-size utility tractors. With dozens of models across six different classes, the John Deere utility tractor has something to offer for just about anyone. But, it’s how you use that “something” that really makes a difference.

As winter comes to an end, homeowners across West Texas are eager to get outside. This is the perfect time to tackle lawn and garden chores as temperatures are not too cold and not too hot. It may be too early to do it all, but knocking out these basic tasks will give you a great head start.

It may be hard to believe, but the first month of 2020 is not far from coming to a close, meaning that spring is nearing its way around the corner. With that being said, we want to help you start thinking about your lawn, what you can do to help it bounce back from the gloomy days of winter, and the tools that you need to do it.

It may be hard to believe that the time is already here, but we’re coming up on the beginning of yet another brand new year. While the new year means a fresh start, it also means something that we’re used to — something that’s not quite as exciting as the other things awaiting us in 2020: tax prep.

Ahhhhhh, yes. That time of year is here once again!

When it comes to all the things to look forward to about the holiday season, the list really is endless: cooler weather, good food, time well-spent with family and friends, and of course, gift-giving.

Although we’re not quite finished with fall yet, it’s essential to be prepared for the reality of the really cold months ahead of us. When it comes to maintaining and putting your farming and landscaping equipment away for the winter, it’s imperative that you know how and why you should do so properly.

During harvest season, you and your operation are both at the mercy of time. So, why spend what little time you have making repairs when you can get ahead of them before even getting to work?
