AgRevolution to Acquire M&S Implement

Sep 14, 2023

AgRevolution announced its intent Sept. 12 to expand into Harrisburg, Ill.., through an asset purchase of M&S Implement Company Incorporated of Harrisburg, Ill., in late October 2023 subject to completion of due diligence. AgRevolution is owned by AGCO and operates 7 locations throughout western Kentucky and southern Indiana. AgRevolution’s expansion will provide sales and services to southern Illinois farmers for AGCO’s full lineup of brands, including Fendt, Gleaner, Massey Ferguson and Hesston.

“M&S Implement has greatly enjoyed serving southern Illinois farmers for almost 65 years, and we’re excited about working with AgRevolution for many years going forward,” said Roger Apple, president, M&S Implement Company Incorporated.

AgRevolution CEO Stacy Anthony stated to Farm Equipment that the dealership was willing to continue parts and service contracts with M&S Implement's other manufacturers (New Holland, Kinze, J&M, Bush Hog and Gravely) at the Harrisburg store to provide continued support to all M&S Implement's customers. Anthony stated the final decision on those parts and service contracts would be in the hands of M&S Implement's other carried brands.

The FarmCast, host Troy Randall speaks with Doug Luedke, Vice President of Service, and Davin Peterson, Executive Vice President of Aftermarket at 21st Century Equipment, to discuss the importance of proactive service and how it helps farmers reduce downtime during their busiest seasons. The conversation focuses on the Winter Service Inspection Program, a comprehensive approach designed to keep equipment running at peak performance and limit costly in-season breakdowns through preventative maintenance and expert technician support.

Doug and Devin explain how 21st Century Equipment’s service teams have evolved to meet the needs of today’s connected machines. With more technology and data integrated into modern equipment, technicians now play a vital role in both mechanical repairs and precision ag support. Through advanced diagnostics, machine monitoring, and John Deere’s Expert Alerts, they can identify and address potential issues before they become major problems—saving customers valuable time, money, and frustration.

Throughout the discussion, the team shares real-world success stories demonstrating how proactive inspections and customer-focused service help maximize uptime and efficiency for every operation. Whether it’s a large tractor, combine, or small mower, the goal remains the same: to provide trusted, reliable support that helps farmers and landowners stay productive and confident in their equipment year-round.
