| I keep a decent selection of big square baler parts on hand. Seems like a good trade off instead of buying a more expensive baler. Plus I refuse to set foot in the local Hesston dealer's door. As far as everything else we keep limited amounts of parts. The down side is we run mainly deeres, mostly 30 and 40 series, so getting parts from a deere dealer after hours is next to impossible. Now with the limited amount of Red stuff on the farm it's easy to get parts after hours. I either call the owner or the parts manager at home and I can get the part if they have it. Anymore we are using alot of QUALITY A&I parts which are on my door step the next day at no extra charge. Wish I could stock more, but too many different parts to choose from. All that interest on inventory could really kill any profit. We try and fix anything that is shakey to prevent breakdown while in the field. Anything that I take off that might run and is changed easily is put on the shelf just in case that part should break at a bad time. Try to keep common things like an extra alternator, filters and standard bearings on hand. We also keep commonly broke parts(teeth, blades, sections etc) and I make hydraulic hoses.

Do you keep an inventory of replacement parts?
