New Garden Utility Vehicle and Garden Utility Stand introduced.

Moving heavy or awkward purchases from your car to your house or apartment just became a lot easier. The solution is THE G.U.V.™, a light (less than four pounds), durable and strong (up to 100 pound weight capacity) utility hauler that works great with five gallon water jugs, fifty pound bags of lawn fertilizer, full leaf or garbage bags, or any heavy or bulky item. THE G.U.V.™ moves them easily, takes up little space in the trunk of your car or truck, and is there when you need it. There's no easier way to avoid the strain of carrying a heavy or awkward item from your car to your home.

THE G.U.V.™ is available through www.citykraft.ca for $24.99, plus shipping and handling. CityKraft also expects THE G.U.V.™ to be available through leading home and garden retailers, as well as TV shopping channels, in the coming months.

THE G.U.V.™ is approximately 20 in. (l) x 14.75 (w) in. x 7 in. (h) / 50 cm (l) x 37.5 cm (w) x 17.5 cm (h) and weighs three-and-a-half pounds (1.6 kg.) The product is "green"-manufactured in North America of high-density polyethylene made from 100-percent recycled plastic.

CityKraft also markets a companion product called THE G.U.S. (Garden Utility Stand). THE G.U.S. allows leaf bags to be stored at home side, or when transported to a curb or driveway with THE G.U.V., without the bottom soaking through or the bags tipping. THE G.U.S. can be nested for easy storage.

In introducing the new product, CityKraft President Bill Cooper commented, "THE G.U.V. is an innovative solution to an age-old problem. Consumer demand led directly to its development and marketing."

Corporate offices for CityKraft are located at 185 The West Mall, Suite 1600, Toronto, ON, M9C 5L5. The company may be contacted at 1-416-620-2843.

Video: Winter Service Inspections for John Deere Equipment - The FarmCast Ep64

The FarmCast, host Troy Randall speaks with Doug Luedke, Vice President of Service, and Davin Peterson, Executive Vice President of Aftermarket at 21st Century Equipment, to discuss the importance of proactive service and how it helps farmers reduce downtime during their busiest seasons. The conversation focuses on the Winter Service Inspection Program, a comprehensive approach designed to keep equipment running at peak performance and limit costly in-season breakdowns through preventative maintenance and expert technician support.

Doug and Devin explain how 21st Century Equipment’s service teams have evolved to meet the needs of today’s connected machines. With more technology and data integrated into modern equipment, technicians now play a vital role in both mechanical repairs and precision ag support. Through advanced diagnostics, machine monitoring, and John Deere’s Expert Alerts, they can identify and address potential issues before they become major problems—saving customers valuable time, money, and frustration.

Throughout the discussion, the team shares real-world success stories demonstrating how proactive inspections and customer-focused service help maximize uptime and efficiency for every operation. Whether it’s a large tractor, combine, or small mower, the goal remains the same: to provide trusted, reliable support that helps farmers and landowners stay productive and confident in their equipment year-round.
