Southwest Missouri
For our small operation, we keep a fair amount of parts. We are evening and weekend farmers. Most places are closed. when we farm.

We keep a good supply of bolts. I have hose crimper and quite a few ends. If I need 2, I buy three. I would be shocked if I figured the hundreds of dollars I have tied up there. But,a buddy brought a hose by yesterday and I had him going in ten minutes. It has worked for us in the past. Now, where I get hose supplies is open to midnight m-f and 6 p.m. on Saturdays. That is handy.

6-7 years ago, my monitor for the Vermeer 604 Super J round baler decided it had done enough. I was stopped for the weekend. I bought a new one the following Monday, and sent my old one in for repair. Wasn't going to be caught short again! Well, two years later, I sold the round baler, and today, that extra monitor is still on the shelf. Guess I had better list it for sale!
