Year 2008 in Review

By yazallcrop

Another year goes by quickly, and it has been a great one! We keep on getting more and more All-Crops back “on-line” doing their stuff.  Thanks to all for the continued support…..At the end of 2007, I promised to review my “to-do” list for 2008 and see what we accomplished..well lets do it:

1. Get drapers available for the model 40 combine.  I had a prototype set made, but was less than impressed with the finished product.  I then realized the best thing to do is to simply get the 60/66 set and cut them down to size..GRADE: A-

2.Make available more manuals, parts manuals in particular.  Was able top get the 40 and 66 parts manual scanned and available for free on the website…. GRADE: A

3.Overhaul the website (a 2007 goal not achieved) to make it more informative and effective in finding parts and combines. Was able to partially accomplish this goal.  The products page was re-vamped.  I also was forced to write some custom programs to handle  sales as the old method was not cutting it anymore with the increased numer of orders..GRADE: C

4. Get that new drill press assembled to allow us to pre-drill holes for the cylinder bars. Got the drill press up but could never fdind the time to drill the holes….GRADE C-

5. Get to at least one of the Allis equipment shows with a truckload of parts.  Didnt happen.  No time, couldnt afford the fuel. GRADE:F

So how do you grade our efforts? Suggestions, complaints, compliments? let us know!

Plans For 2009:

1. Make improvements to the website

2. Get elevator grain cups fabricated

3. Get Finishing screens and Scour Kleens fabricated

4. Try to get to a show….Really, Really try!

5. Get a 72 parts manual up for free download…

Thanks again for all your support. Merry Christmas to all,  and have a Happy New Year!
