Business in Fosston, Saskatchewan

Photo Ads ] Back ] Next ]

Fosston Tractor Parts Ltd. is a 19 year old company specializing in the supply of new, used and rebuilt farm machinery parts.

As well as being the premiere parts supplier in central Saskatchewan, we also sell all over the prairies and into British Columbia, the northern states and eastern Canada.

We have contracts with all the major after-market suppliers, such as A&I, Hi-Capacity, Westward Parts, Acklands, etc.  In addition to these we handle short line whole goods from companies like Leon, Farm King, Allied, etc.

We have been at our present location on the SW of 4-37-13 W2 in the RM of Ponass Lake #367 since mid-1995.  This is an excellent high traffic, high visibility location at the junction of highways 49 and 35.

A new 7500 square foot shop (50 feet x 150 feet) was constructed at this location in 1994-1995.  This is a wood frame building clad in steel inside and out. The cement floor is heated with natural gas hot water.  It is a very comfortable building both summer and winter and very economical to heat.  The building is divided into three main areas.

The back (North end) is workshop covering an area of 65 feet x 50 feet or 3250 square feet.  The shop has one walk-in door, a 12 foot x 12 foot overhead and a 20 foot x 15 foot overhead door.

The center section also is 65 feet x 50 feet, full of shelving loaded with new, used and rebuilt parts.  There is also a van located outside full of parts.

 

The front end is our display/sales area, comprised of 20 feet x 50 feet.  This area has a tile floor, and also houses the managers office, bathroom, utility room and office room.  Above the front area is a mezzanine giving us another 1000+ square feet of storage and office space.

In addition to all the shelved parts we also have the following unites for salvage:

  • 50 tractors

  • 85 combines

  • 25 swathers

  • Misc. drills, cultivators, etc.

The business can be sold with a small acreage or anything up to and including the whole quarter section.  We would like to sell as a turnkey operation which would include everything it takes to make it go.

This would be an excellent venture for a family, or a father/son operation.  There is room for quite a lot more businesses in used tractor parts and we have hardly touched on haying equipment for which there is more demand every year.

The business could be expanded a lot more in the short line/whole goods area as well.  Another source of revenue would be custom repairing of farm machinery - this is a service that is lacking in this area, and again, we have hardly exploited it.

We are in a beautiful parkland area with four major lake resorts within a thirty mile radius of us.  We have excellent fishing, game bird and large game hunting right around us.

Owners wish to sell as they have no family members who are interested in taking over the business.  Present owners are also involved in a new venture that they would like to devote more time for.

Family Farmers wants to extend our most sincere congratulations to Paul Beingessner, who was recently awarded an honorary life membership by the Saskatchewan Institute of Agrologists.  He joins a pretty select group of people who have contributed greatly to the agriculture scene here in Saskatchewan.  Check out their website for a full list of those who have been honored over the years.  Again, congratulations Paul, it is a well deserved award.

Paul Beingessner

While I don't expect to get dragged through the court system anytime soon, I did get an inkling last week of how Percy Schmeiser must have felt when he got that first letter from Monsanto. Mine came in the form of a letter from Viterra, that amalgam of the once-farmer-owned prairie grain companies. It began politely enough, thanking me for my business, but soon turned ugly. Viterra, it seems, is about to become the Monsanto of durum.

Greenwater Report

We left Sandy ’s place west of Didsbury on Friday morning. It snowed there all day Thursday, and I had to shovel about six inches of snow off the car. By the time we got to Didsbury there was no snow in sight, and the roads were dry. The brunt of the storm seems to have hit south and west of there; one place apparently got about 50 centimeters of the white stuff. Good for stretching out the ski season.

Qu'Appelle Calling

He doesn't miss too many notes, but thing is, they aren't usually the RIGHT ones. To say the blend of voices is eclectic may be the politest thing that one can come up with. Usually at 5:30 am there is at least one human shouting out the window to SHUSH UP.
