With the arrival of April, Northern Neck residents are turning their attention once again to their lawns and gardens. For most, it's a pleasurable experience, made even more so when working with the right tools. Rappahannock Tractor, at 544 North Main in Kilmarnock, prides itself in supplying the region with those quality tools and implements.
Rappahannock Tractor is a John Deere dealer, and its lot and showroom is full of farm tractors and riding mowers to meet any need.
“Our tractors are perfect for what we call the `lifestyle farming' market,” said General Manager Matt Fleet.
“These are people who don't farm for a living, but have five or ten acres, raise horses, or otherwise farm for enjoyment. This market has exploded in the last few years,” he added.
Besides tractors, Rappahannock Tractor offers John Deere riding mowers in all sizes, walk-behind mowers and other tools useful for keeping the homestead manicured. You'll find a wide range of Stihl products as well, including chain saws, power trimmers, power edgers and power tillers.
Rappahannock Tractor's showroom hours are Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. and on Saturday from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. The service department is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Saturday from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m., with pick-up and delivery.
A fully stocked parts department has everything you need to work on your equipment yourself. There are even toys for the kids, with a large assortment of toy John Deere tractors and trucks. And just like the real thing, these toys are made to reflect John Deere's high quality standards.
“One of the biggest misperceptions is that, because of John Deere's high quality, it's out of the average consumer's price range, but that's not the case. Deere makes quality products to meet all needs and budgets. The company has worked hard over the last few years to provide quality products for all market segments,” Fleet said.
Whether you have a small farm or a small corner lot, Fleet says Rappahannock Tractor has the right piece of equipment to keep your property looking great. He invites you to drop by and see their line of new tractors and mowers for spring 2003, or call them at 435-3161.
