Feature Product
New Holland WorkMaster 50 - 70 Series
Alma Tractor is proud to introduce the all new Workmaster Series Utility Tractors from New Holland.  The new 45 to 62 PTO horsepower tractors feature modern streamlined styling that is not just for looks.  The new Workmaster 65 and 75 model tractors have an 8x8 synchro shuttle transmission as part of the standard equipment configuration.   Under the hood, New Holland installed a turbocharged three-cylinder engine that meets Tier 4B emission standards. This new engine produces more torque for more responsive power when under a load, such as mowing tall grass or digging into a packed pile of material with a loader.
All models feature direction injection common rail fuel delivery for quick response and smooth operation while boosting fuel efficiency. The new engine offers a quiet start-up and timed glow plugs to ensure an easy start on a cold morning.   Come see one of the new Workmaster tractors today at Alma Tractor.  Ask one of our sales personnel about the special introductory finance rate, 0% for up to 60 months or about large cash discounts!

Service Manager
How long have you been with Alma Tractor?
I have been with Alma Tractor since 1999 in the parts department and Service Manager since December 2015.  When I started we had 3 people in the parts department and have grown to 9 people by time I moved to service.
 
What is your favorite type of food?
My favorite food has to be Cajun. We had a guy that was displaced by Hurricane Katrina that worked for us until he could go back to New Orleans. He introduced me to real Cajun food and I have loved it ever since.
 
What is your favorite movie genre?
My favorite movie genre is Star Wars. You may not think Star Wars is its own genre, but to me it is! I've probably watched the original three movies 100 times when I was younger. 
 
What is the most Exotic vaction you have ever been on?
I can't really say I've been anywhere exotic, but my family and I love to go on cruises. We have been on two so far. Both were on the same ship, the Carnival Triumph and we sailed to Progresso Mexico and Cozumel Mexico both times. We already have our next cruise booked on the Carnival Breeze going to Jamaica, Grand Cayman and again to Cozumel.
 
Which do you prefer? Mac or Windows?
Do I prefer Mac or Windows? I would say Windows. To me Mac is a $2000 internet machine. I can do everything I need to do on Windows. If I were into video editing or graphics or something like that, that might change things.
 
What are you the most proud of?
The one thing I am most proud of is actually 5 people. My kids. I have two boys and three girls. They are 20,19, 18, 17 and 4. Yep 4. We started over. But my kids are hands down what I am proudest of.
 
Who is your favorite Cartoon Character?
My favorite cartoon character would have to be the Tasmanian Devil, or any of the original Looney Tunes. I have very fond memories of my father and I watching Looney Toons on Saturday mornings and laughing our heads off. It didn't matter how many times we had seen an episode, we would laugh like it was our first time.
 
Do you have any Pets?
Yes, four dogs, three of which are inside dogs. I am not sure what I was thinking getting 4 dogs, but they are pretty good. I have a long haired Dachshund, a Yorkiepoo, a Cheagle (Chihuahua/Beaglemix) and a Lab mix. 

What is your biggest pet peave?
My biggest pet peeve has to be road hogs. You know, that one guy that is going 65 on the interstate in the left lane. Dude, move.

Receptionist / Accounts Receivable

Do you have a favorite movie genre?
Drama, sometimes acton, sometimes comedy (unless it's stupid), NEVER horror!!

What kind of music do you listen to?
Country - I want to be able to understand it and sing to it.

Do you have any pets?
An English Bulldog - seriously, who doesn't love a bulldog?

Are you a plant person?
Not at all! I do not want the responsibility of keeping it alive, I don't need that kind of stress!

Do you prefer white, dark or milk chocolate?
Definitely milk - I probably wouldn't turn down the other two, I just don't prefer them.

Where would you choose to live: by the ocean, in the mountains or in the woods?
Ocean - if there's a beach & lots of sunshine

What is the one thing in this world you are most proud of?
My kid, of course!
Do you have any hobbies?
Not really, unless shopping is a hobby.
