The Big Iron Dealer of the Year award program, now in its sixth year, is designed to honor dealers for excellence in community engagement, customer education, technology implementation, staff training and marketing initiatives, along with sales, rental and service performance. Sales or revenue is not a determining factor for the award and the program is open to dealers and distributors of all sizes.
Past winners have been Alta Equipment (2018), Carolina Cat (2019), Front Range Kubota (2020), West Side Tractor Sales (2021) and ASCO (2022).
Equipment World editors will conduct in-depth interviews with each finalist, and the 2023 winner will be announced in fall. Each finalist will be featured in a profile on the Equipment World site.
