Unsurprisingly, Vause Farm Equipment does exactly what their name implies, sells farm equipment.

For this reason, the company's focus is currently on farm equipment. Vause provides things like GPS steering, tobacco harvesters and sprayers, corn, soybean and cotton planters, as well as combines to transport crops out of fields and onto the market.

Additionally, Vause recently acquired three new lines of equipment, namely compact tractors, tobacco equipment and propelled spraying machines. When it comes to construction products, in recent years the company has specialized in earthmoving equipment to level large areas in preparation for large-scale construction projects such as apartment complexes or shopping centers. 75 years and counting of Vause Farm Equipment www.carolinainnnc.com | (910) 829-0100 | 400 Forsythe Street | Fayetteville, NC 28303 | Sky View at Carolina Inn DARE TO COMPARE...
