Business here at Old School Manufacturing has been booming, and we’re not expecting it to slow for some time yet! Still, the end of the busy season is in sight, and we are looking forward to what is next to come. (Like the first family vacation we’ve taken in 10 years, or getting our new building finished!)
In anticipation of our new building, OSM has created a package deal for 8 of the last 2025 12R30 machines available. This deal includes the 12R30 cart system, 30’ boom, Front 3pt Hitch, a 30’ Scratch Pad, and prearranged shipping within the U.S.A. This deal is priced at $82,000, making it an $8,000 discount. This is a limited time offer, so it will not be available for long.
One of the exciting changes within the workplace is the addition of two members of our family to the team: Teagan and Savannah Kroeger. These lovely ladies will be helping out part time in their respective positions, and aiding us to create a better, more well-rounded team.
Teagan graduated this spring with an interest in automotive mechanicing, and will be putting those skills to use in the assembly of new machines. Additionally, she’ll be undergoing training in diagnostic and tech- some of you may have already spoken to her in the last couple of weeks.
Savannah also graduated in the spring, and will be using her abilities to help in the shipping and parts departments, as well as taking charge of our social media pages, including Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. Too, her organizing abilities will be tested to the max as we look to update inventory for the next season, as well as making the big move to our new facilities in the fall.
We are looking forward to creating positions as more of our family looks to join the business, and getting to experience all of the things that make the family dynamic unique and fun. It has been a goal for a long time to find an area where each member can not just fit, but excel, and hopefully use their God-given talents.
Speaking of family dynamics and God-given gifts, it should be no secret by now that the guys at Old School are constantly looking to innovate, create, and invent- and to that end, you can expect to see a new Zapper being released this fall.
She’s called the Digital Zapper, and she’s been in the works for several years- a between-the-row zapper with some interesting features including digitally altered energy. Like the high-boy Terminator series, the Digital Zapper is mounted on a sprayer unit, but unlike the Terminator and Annihilator series’, the Digital Zapper does not have a copper applicator boom. Instead, finger-like projections reach between rows to zap hard to reach weeds- or weeds that have not yet emerged over the crop canopy. This means that the Digital Zapper works not just as a Zapper, but also doubles as a cultivator- and if you’ve ever been frustrated that your weeds have re-rooted after cultivation, you’ll be pleased to find that nothing re-roots after it has been hit with roughly 14,000 volts of electricity!

My grandmother often says, “The proof of the pudding is in the eating!”, and if that is the case, you can see our “pudding” is just about as full of ingredients as it can hold! It can feel hectic when we are all running about with parts orders, tech calls, credit card payments, and the like, but in the midst of the chaos, there is the realization that the Lord enables us to do all things, and we are very blessed to be doing what we are doing. All the same, we are looking forward to the new season- but we’ll tell you all about that in the next OSM Review!
