Coming Soon: The Complete 2024 Parts Catalog – 4th Edition

Our new parts catalog is currently being produced and will be available this Spring. It serves as a great, at the ready resource – a must to have on hand at the shop. Sure, you can reference our parts website to find what you need as well. However nothing beats having a physical copy to flip through and reference. It is spiral bound so it stays flat when open and the gloss paper makes the pages easy to flip through.

The catalog consists of sections for PTR parts, BACE parts and Komar parts. The most popular items, like baling wire, are grouped in their own section for quick reference. Also included are very handy color diagrams, showing breakdowns of power units, baler eject assemblies and more. Since they’re printed in the catalog they are much easier to examine versus on the web. This will save you lots of time, zeroing in on the part you need and how things are assembled.

Colorful headers on each page make it easy to find your spot. Also diagrams and directories of parts for Control Panels are very comprehensive and helpful. You find everything related to

• Power units

• Polymer wheel

• Container bottoms

• Control panels

• Bale eject assemblies

• Electrical parts

• Hydraulic parts

• Mechanical parts

• Rebuild kits

• Oil heater kits

• TP stationary parts

• VCP stationary parts

• OEM Parts

• After market parts and more!

You’ll also find warranty info, contact info for parts managers at Komar, BACE, Maren and PTR. Our team is here to help! In addition you’ll find valuable maintenance tips like how to adjust reverse timer set-point on a standard baler program. An of course all of our social media handles and links to our blog can be found on the back page.

So stay tuned! These will be available soon. Sign up for our parts newsletter to be the first to know. https://parts.ptrco.com/mailinglist_subscribe.asp

Going green – Enjoy A Myriad of Benefits

At PTR Baler & Compactor we’ve been a “Green Mission” for years. Sustainability, recycling and going green are part of our core values. It is who we are. Establishing a green mission for your business can result in many benefits.

Actually make a difference When an individual recycles, up-cycles or reduces waste it makes a small impact. When an entire company goes green, the positive impact can be significant. Then imagine many companies doing this. This is real change. We only have one planet, lets all work towards making it better. Its important!

Walk the walk By establishing a well defined green mission plan, you’ll show your clients and customers you’re actually taking actionable steps to improve the environment. You’re not making vague promises, you’re making a difference. This will resonate.

Innovation Change can be painful. It can also be an opportunity to look for innovations. By changing how you do things, efficiencies can be found. Its a common misconception that going green costs more. If you align your green goals with other goals (like operational efficiency) you can make big strides on all fronts!

Spark interest in potential employees As you know, hiring good people has become very competitive. Many younger workers and those fresh out of collage would be attracted to a company with a green mission and sustainability goals. This is important to the younger generation. It not only attracts talent – it also motivates them.

Get ahead of regulations Instead of rushing to catch up when new regulations are imposed, get ahead of it! Lead the way and show you’re going green because you want to – not because you have to.

Build your brand Your green mission can be part of your brand story. Its a relevant, timely and meaningful thing to talk about. Especially if your competition is not on a green mission! People notice.

So how to get started? Task your team with coming up with ideas. Have some fun with it and award gift cards to those with the best ideas. Having your team involved every step of the way will make them feel like they’re part of something and they’ll take ownership of it. Set some goals and keep the mission top of mind. Work it into your culture – and watch the results blossom!
