Good evening,

Are you familiar with the NS? If not, you should get acquainted. The largest of the KIOTI Tractor compact utility tractors, the NS features a large operator station, draft control, and is available in either hydrostatic or shuttle shift, open station or cab!

I mean, I am ready, but I've been ready since 6 AM. Are you ready?

A new product launch is always exciting; seeing the evolution and advancement in machines you enjoy, from a company you want good things for, it's almost like watching your favorite team bring out an anticipated new player.

How will it turn out? It's going to be a good season.

Are you ready?

Good afternoon,

You've heard me mention it before, it'll fall, but I'm not here to offer any more terrifying words about the closeness of winter, no, I want to discuss the benefits of the season- for you.

We have inventory that needs to go. The more equipment on the lot, particularly implements that have sat for a while, or used machines, the more things we have to clean come... that other season. The one I told you I wasn't going to mention.

These things take up space, and after a while they're just not as fun. Just today a weight block mocked me for driving my wife's car to work.

So to summarize, I have implements and equipment that will make your life easier, and I want them out of my hair before the thing that comes between fall and spring.

Let's get you a great deal.

Good afternoon,

It's fall. Don't blink, it'll be winter.

You've still got cleanup to do. Do you know what'll move that brush to the burn pile real easy? A grapple.

You may have teenagers, and they'll move that stuff eventually, but in their own time they're going to move out. Who will be moving that brush then? Now it falls back on you.

A grapple will never meet someone in college and move to another state. A grapple will move that brush, it'll lift that convertible sofa (personal experience), it'll carry logs like a 16 year old trying to earn gas money, and it will do it without emptying the pantry of your favorite snacks. All it wants in return is grease.

Now, about that snow that's coming...

Think about your back.

Good morning,

It's gray and wet out there today; one might almost say a dark and stormy night, but it's not even noon.

Fortunately, I'm indoors, and so are most of my machines. Tractors, mowers, snowblowers, they all made it inside before the rain hit. It'll keep them out of the snow, and in a warm showroom where you can browse these machines in comfort. This is normal as we come into the winter months, especially given our small lot size, but it really does make things look a little empty around here. Pair this with a newly torn up sidewalk, and I wouldn't fault someone for thinking we're turning our lights off.

That is not the case, however. We have plenty on display indoors, and we have the strength of the Maine Tractor Company network behind us. Need an NS; an RX maybe? Or just something you're not seeing here? We can pull inventory from out sister locations, and order anything they don't have on site.

So, yeah, it's gloomy out there- but things are happening indoors.

Stay dry!

Good morning,

Over 70 gardens, at no cost; Gary your neighbors certainly must treasure you. That's a stand-up job you've done for your community, may the new 4 in 1 bucket help you do more in the future.

Take care,

Good evening,

It's nice out this evening, isn't it? It's fairly warm, the sun is shining, really who could ask for better weather?

Enjoy it while it lasts, because soon winter is going to be upon us.

Is your tractor ready to clear some snow? How is the drive belt on that old walk-behind snowblower? Is your generator ready for when mother nature wants to play games?

You know it's time to service that winter fighting equipment, and you can still fit it in before snowfall- it's not too late!

Here at Topsham Tractor - Norway we will service and maintain all makes and models of tractor, snowblower, generator, lawn and garden equipment, as well as ATV's, UTV's, snowmobiles, and any other small engine you've got. If it fits in our shop we can handle it, and if it doesn't fit- well, reach out and we will see what we can do!

Call, message us, or stop on in- we'd be more than happy to get your equipment for the hard months ahead.

Good afternoon,

You know, there is something satisfying about driving a tractor over carpet. The tractor may be small, and the carpet may be commercial, but it still carries a feeling like I'm getting away with something.

If you'd like to experience this sensation I can get you into the easy to operate CS2230 for under $17k, plus tax. Now from there it will be your responsibility to provide the carpet, and to get the machine in-doors. I also am not liable for any conflict that may arise from you bringing your tractor indoors, as I presume you are an adult capable of making your own decisions.

Or maybe you're looking to do something a little more traditional with your KIOTI Tractor, like move some snow. Well, that's fine too, we can get you all set up for winter weather! A snow blower? Maybe a snow pusher? A bulk material bucket? Or how about a plow blade, manual or hydraulic. Whatever flavor you're looking for, we can help you get your path clear.

Good afternoon,

There is a problem with this photo, can you spot it? It's not necessarily my skills as a photographer, though I am not here to defend those.

Have you figured it out?

That tractor, a KIOTI Tractor CS2530HB, is equipped with a set of pallet forks rated to lift 4,400 pounds. Those are some heavy forks, weighing between 300 and 400 pounds, attached to a tractor with a lift capacity of 870 pounds at the pin. With these improperly sized forks you're basically cutting your usable filt capacity in half before you've started.

A proper set of forks sized for a subcompact tractor will be rated for about 1,200 pounds, and will weigh under 200 pounds. That is a very big difference.

I used forks here just to instill the importance of using properly sized attachments and implements for your machine, because at best the wrong implement will be frustrating, but worse, it could be dangerous. This can be with regards to physical size, as with the forks, or it could apply to your PTO horsepower. If you've got a 60" bush hog attached to a machine providing under 20 PTO horsepower, and you've got thick brush or hills, you're likely to not be satisfied with the performance.

If you need an implement for your existing machine, or you're looking to buy a new tractor and want to make sure you're getting the right attachments, your local MTC location will have knowledgeable sales staff capable of guiding you in the right direction.
