How has the agricultural equipment parts business changed over the last 40 years? From flipping through massive parts books to looking up parts online and using AI, the industry has come a long way!
In Episode 16 of the Tractor Therapy Podcast, we sit down with Brent Postma, Scholten's Equipment Parts Manager, who brings over 40+ years of experience in the agricultural equipment parts business.
Brent takes us through the evolution of the parts department, from paper parts catalogs and microfiche to computerized parts lookup systems and today's online parts stores. We discuss how technology has changed the way parts are identified, ordered, and sold, and how AI could shape the future of the industry.
We also introduce our online parts store, ScholtenParts.com, where customers can browse illustrated parts diagrams, identify individual components, and look up parts for Kubota, CLAAS, and JCB equipment.
