These results are largely a result of our high quality turner and the patient, helpful, and knowledgeable support from the Midwest Biosystems Team. We are looking forward to many more years working with Midwest Biosystems.”Caleb Spear “We are certainly pleased with the Midwest Bio-Systems windrow aerator. It is the best single piece of equipment I have ever purchased.”Paul Walker Professor of Animal Science Illinois State University “I would like to tell you how pleased we are with the Aeromaster PT-120, PTO driven compost turner . . . . All these problems have been overcome since the purchase of a PT-120. We have also been very satisfied with your technical and parts assistance on the machine.”Bart Sexton, Oneida County Solid Waste Administrator Rhinelander, Wisconsin “If every piece of equipment that I purchased gave me as little trouble as your compost turner, it would be wonderful!”Drew Norman One Straw Farm While Hall, Maryland “We wanted a turner that was a production machine. . . a turner that would get the carbon dioxide out of the windrow while keeping the product oxygenated. . . the drum design handles the compost gently and allows us to build crumb structure . . . . An important feature of the Aeromaster that keeps costs down is its ability to inject the water by the operator in one operation. This machine incorporates water so each particle is well coated — not wasting water. The watering capability has reduced our labor cost by half, while making our operation much more efficient.”Mark Grover, Grover Landscape Services Modesto, California “Glendale’s property owners were also impressed with Midwest Bio-Systems’ scientific approach . . . . MBS could quickly monitor compost at all stages of incubation.”Mike Hoyte, City of Glendale Glendale, Arizona “The Midwest Bio-Systems windrow turner has been maintenance free for more than three years. Customer and technical support from Midwest Bio-Systems has been excellent and timely.”Julie Smith, Putnamville Institution Greencastle, Indiana> “The pull-type compost turner produced by Midwest Bio-Systems was originally chosen by Solana Recyclers for their program due to its ability to quickly be made road ready for transporting between sites. The Aeromaster will be the future turner of choice due to its superior compost turning capabilities, reliability, and the excellent factory support from Midwest Bio-Systems.”Rick Hartner, Solana Recyclers “The best organized, and best orchestrated workshop I ever attended.”Craig, Chef’s Garden "This is no exaggeration. We are picking between 300 and 400 tomatoes every day! And they are big… and full… and beautiful… and the result of much care and the richest compost known to man. Thank you, Midwest Bio-Systems."DSB and BAS “We have been piling our material in windrows and turning with a loader for three years. Today, we started composting!”Michael D.
