BENDER IMPLEMENT
742 Edgewood Ave. Somerset, PA 15501
Bender Implement Company is located at 742 South Edgewood Avenue in
Somerset, still on the site where brothers Al and George Bender, in 1934, started
the business.
Owner Phil Hammond says Bender Implement today offers customers a tractor
product line up to 215 horsepower.
The massive red CASE IH cab tractors sitting on the lot will grab your attention,
whether or not, you have something specific on your mind.
Phil categorizes Bender’s implement line into four groups; tillage, planting, hay
and forage, and material handling.
“We carry a good inventory,” he says. “We provide new and used equipment,
have parts and repair service, and will do repairs in the field or in the shop." he said.
The service area, besides Somerset, saturates some five counties, crossing Into
neighboring Maryland to serve customers living beyond the Mason-Dixon line.
Twelve employees fill positions in management, services sales, parts and clerical
areas. The company operates with a fleet.of four vehicles -- one delivery and three
service trucks -- and daily uses United Pared) Service (UPS) for outbound mailings.
Bender Implement, as in the past, continues to carry its line of large household
appliances. Only now, the brand name is no longer International Harvester as it was
in former days.
“I used to milk cows,” recalls Phil, “and I put the milk into an International cooler."

Choice
If Holsteins could talk, the conversation around the
hay manger would be “Case IH Center Line Balers”.
Why? More leaves per bale.
Our low profile pickup
allows alfalfa hay to retain
more dry leaves. We don’t lift
the windrow as high, saving
. leaves at the pickup. We also
start to compress the hay
before It enters the chamber
to lock in leaves throughout,
the flake...leaves don’t
settle to the bottom and fall
out the back of the baler to
the degree of older style
square balers.

savings!

ways to increase milk
