FAQs

What does the Tractor Rental entail?

We rent out a Kubota L47 tractor and have a variety of attachments available. We don’t provide an operator but can show you the ropes, if needed.

You will need to call the office (Monday-Thursday, 8-4:30) to reserve the tractor and sign the lease, and you must call at least 24 hours in advance of needing the equipment.

Call the office for information on the tractor, availability, and pricing.

Do you take special orders?

In general, yes! Depending on the item, and the vendor we get it from, we may require you to buy a case of the product (ex: specialty beer) but will work to give you a case price. If you need something by a certain day or time, be sure to let us know well in advance so we can plan accordingly. We make no promises on special orders - they are filled on an “as-able to” basis. Payment not required until order has been filled.

Do you sell gasoline? What about beer?

We sell regular unleaded (87), mid-grade unleaded (89), diesel fuel (#2 Hwy), and we fill propane tanks. We also sell empty LP tanks (no exchanges) and tank accessories.

We have ten cooler doors full of a variety of beer! We also have a variety of wines & wine-based or malt shooters.

What is there to do around the area?

Arivaca is a beautiful, quiet place - the Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge Cienega walking trail is in town & the Visitor Center is a short scenic drive away; a local Farmers’ Market occurs each Saturday across from the Mercantile; Arivaca Lake is just a few miles down the road. Arivaca Sonz Hardware is now open, in case you need any other supplies. Outdoor enthusiasts, bird-watchers, hunters, and people looking to get away from the city hustle-and-bustle will enjoy the drive to Arivaca. Get lost and find yourself here!
