Martin Equipment Celebrates 100 Years of Growth as a John Deere Dealer

Martin Equipment, a fourth-generation, family-owned John Deere Construction & Forestry dealer, is proud to announce a major milestone: 100 years of being a John Deere dealer. This remarkable achievement reflects a century of dedication to customers, employees and the communities Martin Equipment serves across Illinois, Iowa and Missouri.

Since 1926, Martin Equipment has grown alongside John Deere, delivering trusted equipment, technology and support to generations of contractors and businesses. The company name has evolved over time, too, from Sam F. Martin Implement, Martin Implement and Martin Brothers Implement, to finally Martin Equipment when the construction division formed.

But while the company name has changed, the Martin family’s name, lineage, culture and values have remained steadfast. The company attributes its longevity to the relationships it has built with customers, employees and families who have been part of the Martin Equipment story.
