State Tractor & Equipment joins LiuGong North America Dealer Network

State Tractor & Equipment Co. Inc. is the latest dealership to join the LiuGong dealer lineup.

Throughout the process of joining the LiuGong dealer network, State Tractor & Equipment leaders were impressed by the service LiuGong provides. Unlike other heavy equipment manufacturers, they have the infrastructure, inventory, employees, and quality products to ensure their customers are satisfied.

Joshua Badder, State Tractor & Equipment sales director, noted they have already sold their first machine.

“We are pretty excited to see how this LiuGong machine does out in the field,” he said. “We look forward to strengthening our partnership and seeing what the future holds.”

State Tractor & Equipment is family owned and operated by Cliff Dale and his two sons. It has one location currently in Kansas City, Kansas, with a second store coming in Springfield, Missouri. The grand opening was slated for Oct. 6. Company leaders also hope to expand to Oklahoma in the future.

State Tractor & Equipment has a background in railroad service, heavy haul trucking, and added sales to its offerings in 2015. Securing LiuGong products will be integral to expanding that side of the business.

“We are really good on the shop aspect of the business, and on the sales side too,” Badder said.

LiuGong North America President Andrew Ryan welcomed State Tractor & Equipment to the dealer network and said the partnership will bolster its footprint in the region.

“We are thankful to add another great partner in State Tractor & Equipment to our LiuGong dealer network,” Ryan said. “Their presence in the Midwest helps us continue our development and growth strategy in North America.”

State Tractor & Equipment offers machinery for construction, vegetation management, demolitions, scrap, and recycling applications.
