Eis Implement Announces Acquisition by Riesterer & Schnell

Jan 23, 2025

Eis Implement, a third-generation, family-owned John Deere dealership serving the Manitowoc area since 1946 and the 2024 Farm Equipment Dealership of the Year, announced it is being acquired by Riesterer & Schnell, another family-owned John Deere dealership with deep roots in Wisconsin since 1931. This partnership brings together two longstanding leaders in agricultural, residential and commercial equipment solutions, further strengthening their commitment to customers, employees, and communities.

Chris and Jon Eis, the current owners of Eis Implement, shared their perspective on this transition:

"Our focus has always been on treating our customers and employees the way we would want to be treated. This philosophy has built lasting relationships and fostered a loyal and hardworking team. We are confident that Riesterer & Schnell, with their similar values and dedication to Wisconsin communities, is the perfect fit to continue and enhance what we’ve built over the years."

Video: John Deere 500R Sprayer | Next-Generation Booms for Ultimate Precision

Experience the next level of precision spraying with the John Deere 500R sprayer and its new generation boom. Designed for modern farming operations and professional contractors, the 500R combines exceptional boom stability, accurate application and high productivity even at spraying speeds of up to 30 km/h.

The new boom generation features a compact 2.55 m transport width for safe and easy road travel across Europe, while unfolding in the field to working widths of up to 48 meters. A lightweight yet extremely rigid structure, combined with BoomTrac Pro 2, Active Boom Yaw Control and active roll damping, keeps the boom correctly positioned for consistent coverage and reduced drift.

Advanced spraying technologies such as ExactApply with 6-nozzles switchable from the cab, or single nozzle INC Pro using pulse width modulation ensure precise droplet control, minimized overlaps and optimized input efficiency. The result: higher accuracy, lower chemical usage and improved agronomic outcomes even in challenging field conditions.
