Established Agricultural Equipment Dealership and Repair Center

Confidential opportunity to acquire an established agricultural equipment dealership and repair operation serving agricultural customers throughout the Upper Midwest. The company combines whole-goods equipment sales with recurring parts and service revenue, providing a balanced operating model that is less dependent on new-equipment transactions alone. Ownership has built a regional presence for fifteen years and is retiring. The dealership sells two tractor lines, plus short-line equipment, loaders, attachments, accessories, replacement parts, and support products. Its service department repairs tractors and farm machinery in the shop and through field service calls. Technicians inspect incoming equipment, determine required parts and repairs, complete work from formal work orders, and coordinate with office personnel for invoicing. The parts counter also serves customers needing components, accessories, and maintenance items without a repair appointment. No customer represents more than ten percent of revenue. The business has developed demand through its regional reputation, referrals, repeat service needs, parts sales, social media, and regional online listings. Agricultural cycles, weather, equipment availability, tariffs, and customer capital-spending decisions can affect the timing of tractor and equipment sales. The recurring service and parts segments provide important revenue and margin support during periods when whole-goods sales slow. Trailing-twelve-month revenue through August 2026 was approximately $2.18 million, compared with approximately $1.41 million in 2025. The most recent twelve-month period generated approximately $917,000 of gross profit, a gross margin of about 42 percent, and adjusted EBITDA of approximately $403,000 after deducting an estimated market-rate replacement operator expense. Service revenue exceeded $530,000, the highest period reviewed. Detailed financials will be available to qualified buyers after execution of a confidentiality agreement. The eight-person team includes five full-time and three part-time employees. The staff supports sales, parts, service, accounting, receivables, work orders, marketing, maintenance, and shop assistance. Both owners currently work full time. One owner leads sales and assists with parts and service, while the other manages accounting. Existing personnel are expected to remain with a new owner, although a buyer should plan to replace or absorb the owners' responsibilities following the transition. The business operates from an approximately 5,500-square-foot facility on a fenced commercial lot. The property includes a loading dock, overhead bridge crane, heated floors, air conditioning, mezzanine storage, and a separate storage building. The real estate is offered separately and may be purchased or leased from ownership. A buyer may purchase the operating location or lease. The sale is expected to include the dealership's furniture, computers, parts shelving, business equipment, shop tools, diagnostic equipment, pressure-washing and parts-cleaning systems, welding and torch equipment, splitting stands, specialty tools, forklifts, and a service vehicle equipped with an air compressor, hoist, and toolboxes. Personal tools belonging to the owners or technicians are excluded. New and used tractors, parts, attachments, and other inventory will be addressed through a closing inventory count and mutually acceptable transaction terms. The ideal buyer may be an agricultural equipment dealer, tractor dealership, rural equipment platform, parts and service operator, strategic acquirer, or experienced owner-operator. Manufacturer approval and the transfer or replacement of dealer agreements will require buyer diligence. The sellers are willing to provide transition assistance covering customer relationships, equipment sales, parts purchasing, service processes, accounting, and operations.
