CLAAS and Butler Machinery Revamp Sales Strategy for Dakotas; New Dealerships to Launch in January 2025

CLAAS and long-time combine dealer, Butler Machinery Company, will be starting another chapter in a professional journey that has lasted more than 25 years. The joint transition plan laid out by the OEM and current dealer features a “long runway” to ensure that CLAAS customers will receive continuous service and parts support as new CLAAS dealerships are established in the region.

“Our number one priority for CLAAS customers is a smooth transition from one dealer to another. With the plan we have in place, Butler will continue to sell CLAAS equipment through January 31, 2025, and – most important – will continue to provide service and parts support until December 31, 2026,” explained Senior Vice President of CLAAS Americas Region, Eric Raby. 

CLAAS and Butler will be jointly hosting a virtual town hall meeting for all CLAAS equipment owners in the area to gather input and answer questions regarding the transition. Time and date of this town hall will be announced in due course.

Video: Demco Dual Aguer Grain Carts — Fire Safety Systems, Right or Left-Handed Unload, and More!


Demco's dual auger grain cart is designed for unloading efficiency, operator visibility, and safety in the field.

This dual-auger design features both an unload auger and a floor auger for enhanced grain cleanout and consistent flow, and the 22-inch unload auger is capable of moving up to 600 bushels per minute.

Farmers can also choose between right or left-handed unload options—right-handed unload improves visibility from the tractor cab. A new design allows both vertical and horizontal movement for precise grain placement during unloading.

Another key feature is the built-in fire safety system; a 300-gallon onboard water tank with a hose reel that provides field-ready fire suppression capability.

These dual auger grain carts are available in 1100, 1300, 1500, 1700, and 2200 bushel sizes.
