Dealers on the Move

FALCONER, N.Y. — Lakeland Equipment and Z&M Ag and Turf, Western New York's two John Deere dealers, today announced a new partnership with Argonne Capital Group.  The two dealer groups will merge their assets into a new company called LandPro Equipment that is backed by Argonne and existing shareholders of Lakeland and Z&M. 

With 12 dealership locations, LandPro Equipment will be the largest John Deere turf and agricultural equipment dealer in the Northeast.  The combination of the two companies will mean great things for customers and its over 300 employees. LandPro Equipment will have more effective buying power with John Deere and its many venders. This leverage will allow for a larger inventory of new and used equipment, parts available on hand as well as more competitive pricing for LandPro customers.

The combined company will be headquartered in Falconer, NY and managed by Tracy Buck, president of Z&M Ag and Turf.

"We've had the pleasure of working with fantastic customers over the years and look forward to continuing that in the future.  We're now selling to the children and grandchildren of people we sold to 30 years ago.  Our success is a product of our hard working employees and the quality of the John Deere product.  We are excited about this new partnership and the possibilities it offers our customers and our employees," said Tracy Buck, the newly appointed President of LandPro Equipment.
