In the News: Becoming a Single Brand Location, as featured in Farm Equipment

From the Field

Farm Equipment magazine just ran a feature on Roc-Pit Equipment. It tells how we became MASCHIO GASPARDO’s first mono-brand, full-line dealership in North America, and one of only five full-line stores in the world.

How It Started

In 2019, Dale’s uncle was hauling a competitor’s tillage tool down the road when it tipped over. Dale went looking for something better and found MASCHIO GASPARDO. He tested a machine on the farm and liked it. When he looked for a dealer to back it up, the closest ones were in Ohio and Nebraska. So in 2020 he became the dealer himself, starting small to serve his own farm and his neighbors.

How It Grew

In 2024, MASCHIO GASPARDO chairman Mirco Maschio toured the area and asked Dale to go all in as a full-line store. Construction started on the farm in November 2025, and this May, Roc-Pit became the first single-brand, full-line MASCHIO GASPARDO dealership in North America.
