New Holland and Kubota dealer Empire Tractor notified customers that it is merging with Vermont-based Champlain Valley Equipment (2006 Farm Equipment Dealership of the Year), effective Nov. 1. Empire Tractor operates 6 stores in New York.
“This decision was not made lightly, but after careful thought, it became clear that it was time to consolidate into a bigger organization with more resources so we could offer you more services and opportunities,” owners Tim Call and Phill Doty Jr said in the letter to customers.
The combined organization will have 11 stores in Vermont and New York. All stores will operate under the Champlain Valley Equipment name.
Call will continue to work as a manager at the Batavia, N.Y., location and Doty will manage the Atlanta and Waterloo, N.Y., locations.
