Make the Most of Your Summer

Summertime has arrived.

Summertime means something different to everyone. Maybe you spend your time working on wheat harvest, silage, hay, checking on your corn or beans, or working hard in your garden. But chances are that you’re grateful this season is here. Read on for some of the reasons we love summertime.

It’s Restoration Season!

Summer is the time to wrap up your tractor restoration projects and to display them at upcoming events like parades, tractor rides, and county fairs. Tractor Restoration is a topic that we hold near and dear to our hearts as a tractor parts manufacturer. We love seeing our parts help preserve history and restore new life to older machines that we grew up using!

Hy-Capacity has partnered with the Iowa FFA Association to offer restoration-grade seats to Iowa FFA students undergoing tractor restoration projects. Check out some of our other blog articles where we highlight some great restorations from past years!

Attend a local farmers market for some farm fresh produce and eggs, stop by a sweet corn stand for a delicious addition to your summer meals, and lastly support your farmers by taking your time on the road to keep them safe.
