New changes and updates for the drills
  • At the time of drill pick-up a $50.00 deposit, rental payment, and a completely filled out rental form are required. The $50.00 deposit is refundable or can go toward your total if the drill is returned clean and free of seed, no dirt and not broken.
  • ​If you are picking up outside of normal business hours (Monday -Thursday 8:30 am - 11:30 am) please stop to fill out a form and payment in advance. This is to ensure the use of the drill does not get abused and can continue to be a tool that we can keep available to our customers.
