Hello everybody,

I want to give everybody a heads up as we're seeing major shortages on rubber products and carbide. The Gates corporation is having issues. If they don't have the belts in stock, they will not ship until June. Also, tires are hard to locate. Carbide is becoming hard to get as well. I would stock up on drive belts, poly chain belts, and stump grinder teeth. I'm not seeing issues with Green Teeth or Sandvik teeth at this time. The manufacturers who produce the square shank teeth are having problems getting carbide. Re-tipping companies are having problems getting carbide as well.

I hope this helps!
