RDO Equipment Co.

Serving the needs of growers and farmers today means helping to shape the agriculture landscape of tomorrow. Lindsey V., Service Manager at the RDO store in Pasco, WA, recently hosted a store tour for members of the Pasco School District who are seeking input and guidance while creating an agriculture program for their new high school. In addition to learning more about our Access Your Future (AYF) program, the group explored the shop, taking a look at the unique projects our service technicians are working on. "Lindsey did an excellent job representing what RDO does and how we are currently investing into our youth through the AYF program," Kaitlin C., Regional Aftermarket Manager said.

RDO's start as a dealer of yellow John Deere iron marked a significant milestone for the business, and it happened more than 35 years ago in Bismarck, ND. Now, the store is celebrating over 100 collective years of experience among three team members. "I am so proud to have worked alongside my fantastic team as I learned something new from them every day. As the industry changed, I was committed to making sure that new team members felt at home within the store," Duane H., Yard Coordinator, said as he reflected on 45 years prior to his retirement. Join us in congratulating John S., Parts Specialist, Duane H. and Tracy K., Customer Service Advisor, on their commitment to helping customers build a better tomorrow.

You’re at a Formula 1 race track. One that is home to the Miami Grand Prix. You’re ready to start you’re engine, but you aren’t a driver. You’re part of the Sunland Asphalt & Construction, LLC team, a key player in the resurfacing project of the Miami International Autodrome. In partnership with RDO Equipment Co. and WIRTGEN GROUP, they were able to mill 2 inches of the existing 3.36-mile track and repave it with a highly specialized asphalt blend designed to Formula 1 standards. With fresh asphalt, it was smooth sailing (or should we say, smooth driving) for the 2023 Miami Grand Prix.

From the base of the Big Sky Resort in Montana, you'll notice the peaks are high, towering above the tree line, measuring just over 10,000 feet. Dalton C., Field Service Technician from Bozeman, MT, got a service call for a 750L dozer, which was being used to build the newest tram lift at the resort. The thing is, the job was located on top of The Bowl — known to skiers as a spot with steep drops and challenging terrain where they can push their skills to the limit. That wasn't going to stop our team from getting it done, and for Dalton, it was just another day at the office.

For some kids, their best birthday may have included a bounce house or a fire truck. But for Lucas, his "best birthday ever" consisted of a trip down from Canada to the RDO store in Moorhead, MN. Lucas told Alex M., the Account Manager at the store, about all the equipment he’s ridden in, but there was one thing missing — a piece of equipment with tracks. Next thing you know, Alex fired up a 9RX and he and Lucas jumped in and took off! "Lucas made our day. I remember being the kid who lit up with excitement when I got to help my dad out on the farm. This is why I love my job — the people, the stories, the friendships all cultivated from two John Deere colors," Alex said.
