Bourgault Early Savings Program

March 24th, 2009

Bourgault and Bourgault Dealers are very pleased to offer you the best deals on the best equipment! The decline in steel pricing heading into the spring months has created an exceptional buying opportunity for those looking to secure seeding equipment for the spring 2010 season. Although it is difficult to predict future developments, especially in light of past market volatility, expectations are that higher steel prices will return in the second half of 2009. Not only does this program offer attractive pricing, but it will also put you at the “front of the line” for earliest possible delivery dates.

Highlights of the Early Savings Program:

• All Bourgault Seeding Systems, including the 5710 Air Hoe Drill, 8810 Cultivator, 3310 Paralink™ Hoe Drill, 6000 Series Air Seeders, and Series 25 Mid Row Banders®.
• Begins April 1st, 2009 and runs until April 30, 2009 or until supplies last.
• Provides product delivery before Spring 2010 seeding season.

The Bourgault Early Savings Program is a limited production program to take advantage of lower steel prices and therefore may be closed off at any time prior to the program end date. Get your orders in early, as they will be accepted on a “first come, first served” basis!
