BUDGET WITH CONFIDENCE.

Low-price bids don’t always tell the whole truth. Because heavy equipment comes with costs beyond the sticker, from service to repairs to depreciation, and more. That’s why purchasing trade associations endorse Life Cycle Costing as a means to evaluate your agency’s capital equipment purchases. Learn More

BUY WITH CONFIDENCE.

For your agency, procurement is about more than "getting things." It's about getting things right. So when you're ready to buy a piece of equipment, you do the research, compile the data, and figure out what the real, ongoing costs will be. That's the total value picture you get with Life Cycle Costing. Learn More

INVEST WITH CONFIDENCE.

It's a fact: bids often award to the lowest initial price. But there's the price of buying a piece of equipment – and then there's the cost of owning it. Depreciation, repairs, and maintenance can severely impact an agency's budget and erode contract value. Learn More

Since 1940, when Johnson Tractor Co. opened its doors, the company has been dedicated to offering the best quality products and service to its customers.

Ruel Johnson purchased Freeland Tractor & Equipment Company in 1940. The country was emerging from the Depression and business was slow. As the nation recovered, so did the equipment industry. Agricultural businesses purchased new farming machinery and contractors purchased equipment to build new houses, roads, and freeways.

Over the seventy years of business, customer equipment needs have changed from primarily agricultural to heavy construction and industrial use. In 1986, the company changed its name to Johnson Machinery Co. to reflect this evolution. The company has grown from the original 12 employees to over 500, and remains dedicated to offering the best quality product and service to its customers.
