The two Claas Farmpoint stores in North Dakota will provide sales and service for the full line of Claas equipment. Additional stores in the Dakotas are expected to open next year.
- New Claas Farmpoint stores in western and central Iowa will complement Altorfer Ag in the southeastern part of the state, along with two recently added Iowa dealers: Swartzrock Implement in Charles City, and Porter’s Ag Solutions in Earlham.
- In Minnesota, Claas went with Arnold’s Inc. for expanded retail coverage. Arnold’s, a long-time tractor and forage harvester dealer, has added combine parts to its Eyota, Alden and Willmar stores.
- In Wisconsin, Claas tapped two established dealers: Ritchies Implement in Cobb, and Lindstrom Equipment in Watertown. Both dealer locations have added Claas LEXION and TRION combines to their product offering.
- ReadyDig, an independent dealer headquartered in Hudson, Colo., has added Claas to its list of equipment brands. ReadyDig is now also operating out of former Taylor Implement locations in Yuma and Greeley, Colo.
- In Missouri, Yield Technology Service in Carrollton will service CLAAS combines with a full parts and service outlet this fall.
