A1™ Silo Unloader Success Story

Easy Installation and A1 Performance!

In December of 1994, Kenneth and Susan Steiner moved their family from Barwick, Ontario, Canada to Wisconsin where they began dairy farming. They rented a farm until spring of 2001 when they purchased their own farm in Thorp, WI. Their family works together to accomplish the dairy tasks with Alvin, 16, and Norman, 15, being the main "work horses" on the farm.

In 2005, when the Steiners were in the market for a new silo unloader, Kenneth chose the new Patz Model A1™ Single Auger Silo Unloader because he knew of the Patz quality from past years experience as a Patz dealer in Canada. He made his purchase from local Patz dealer, Larry Harrington, at Tri County Equipment in Withee, WI.

"Larry is nice to do business with and he was very fair with the price," said Kenneth.

The unique, simple design of the Model A1™ made it easy for Kenneth and his teenage sons to do their own installation.

"As older machines wear out, we're happy to be able to purchase new ones that we can have confidence in to do a good job and on time," said Kenneth. "We were well satisfied with the Model A1's performance all through winter."

Kenneth is so satisfied with the performance of the Patz Model A1™ Silo Unloader that he has recommended it to others. He also knows that if the need ever arises for repairs or routine maintenance, he can count on his local Patz dealer, Tri-County Equipment, Inc., for dependable, reliable service.

For A1 performance in your silo year-round, choose the Model A1™ Single Auger Silo Unloader, available in 7 sizes from 12 - 24 feet.
