Linder acquires Southern Tractor & Outdoors and will rebrand Georgia locations as Linder Turf & Tractor branches, expanding its Kubota dealer network. 

PFG America, the American distributor of European-made Deutz-Fahr Tractors and Stoll Loaders, announces its largest new dealer partnership yet with Linder Industrial Machinery and Linder Turf and Tractor.

Calling it a "site relaunch," the new store will be opening summer 2024.

The North American Equipment Dealers Association (NAEDA) announces that almost $100,000 was raised for the Equipment Dealers Foundation and the Canada Equipment Dealers Foundation at NAEDA’s 2024 annual North American Dealer Conference. 

The press release stated Ascension Equipment had been the last John Deere and Kubota dealer in the U.S.

With this transition, the product offering in Waycross, Ga., will expand to include a wide array of John Deere parts and equipment, including tractors and compact construction equipment.

In his role as President, Messick leads the 9 dealer member board of directors, alongside Executive VP/CEO Dave Close.
