This news breaks my heart. A few people know; most don't.

Our Duke is gone. His issue with not being able to p*e came back and the wonderful people at Internal Medicine could not make him better. I held him whilst he was put to sleep seven days ago. I kept telling him he was the best boy and we loved him. He died peacefully and was very brave.

He was my best friend...my service dog...our protector...my business partner.

Also, I'm not taking in any machines. I will work out the process to close the business. I don't want to delete this page from facebook as there are over five years of memories and adventures that are preserved here.

Hello all. This pic was from a year or three ago when the tractor just had a clean up...Don't be impressed...it's currently covered in dirt, dirty grease from the l**e points, as well as black ish from where I spilt diesel when adding fuel. We took a call today from a fellow (who we know) that had an uncooperative DR Power field mower (the kind you tow behind an ATV) that was about a year old. We declined to do the repair, as DR Power is now problematic for us. I referred him to Dan's Small Engine (mobile mechanic out of Spokane). But the point of this is....If you have some land, and want to brush hog/mow...do some digging....move some dirt...stump grind....etc. Don't spend a grand or so on a machine with an engine...Get a tractor (we are partial to Kubota)...maybe they are still 0% financing....get the biggest one you can afford...Then just get three point attachments that don't require an engine. You are welcome!!!

Duke and I had a brilliant day in and around Harrington. First was a visit to MTK Farm Kennels. I don't think anyone can appreciate how clean, safe, and organised the kennel is. The setting is arguably one of the most beautiful places in Washington State. Then we had a visit at Home and Makers...if you've never stopped in before, then you need to find a reason to make the drive out there to find presents. We love that place. We finished up with lunch at The Harrington Haus and I had an amazing club sandwich on a croissant with the worlds best potato salad.

Not business related but nonetheless entertaining. We've been tractoring and making topsoil and filling and leveling the ground near the shop. Kubota tractor, rock bucket, rock screen, three point attachments for a rake and tiller etc....But at the end of the day, the pesky rocks still have to be picked up. I love this pic taken today...One of Duke's little girlfriends and her gran came round today and she helped me pick up rocks. Of course, Duke is on the job that requires no German Shepherds but he was entertained.

We had a productive week. Met some nice people (Brian, Taylor Kennedy,and Alan.) Almost all the time the uncooperative machines are caused by using normal gasoline and not doing a few simple things at the end of the season. Let Duke and I know if you need a hand. We do machines you don't sit on or hold in your hands.

Hello all. Wanted to share an experience from yesterday.
Our neighbour brought over his brand new DR Power walk behind/self propelled/battery start wheeled trimmer. He bought it online from a business on the east coast and paid for a five year warranty.
Brand new....ten minutes into him using it, the self propel stopped working. He called the business and they sent him a new belt.
That's when he brought it to us.
Yep...the belt was off the engine pulley and mangled. Wierd.
We replaced the belt, started the engine and the belt slipped off.
Upon closer examination, the machine appears horribly put together. The belt guide actually puts pressure on the drive belt-causing it to bind and slip off (not adjustable).
To access the internals, one has to take nine bolts off. I was dumbfounded at the poor materials/workmanship and it was challenging to reinstall the fasteners as the metal tooling is amazingly bad.
So, I referred him to a shop in Spokane.
Some lessons to learn.
-Be wary about buying machines online.
-DR Power has been sold at least twice and in my experience their customer service and warranty is frustrating and poor.
-There are no DR Power warranty locations in Spokane that will warranty machines purchased outside of their shop. When I've done warranty work in the past the customer paid me and submitted the invoice.
