BIG FARM POWER AND EQUIPMENT
•; . \ . "
1 Steiger Tractors are so dependable
that when C.B. Hoober & Son Inc. and
Hoober Equipment Inc. offer a stand
by tractor to cover spring break
downs, the standby tractor spends
most of its time sitting and waiting for
work that rarely comes. With over 136
tractors in the field they’ve only used
the standby tractors 3 times in the last
year. THAT’S PERFORMANCE.
2 When those three tractors did break
down, Hoobers took them the stand
by tractor and the farmer’s ,did not
suffer any appreciable downtime.
THAT’S SERVICE.
