Equipment Sales Representative- Agriculture/Construction

For decades, Roberts Farm Equipment and McGavin Farm Equipment have been unique in the farming community both aggressively cutting edge, and unapologetically committed to old-fashioned ideas of customer service.

With a combined over 130 years together Robert’s and McGavin’s are a family-owned and operated business that serves the community and many family farms, we think of ourselves as being all in the family. Those 130 years have taught us a great deal about what really matters. We sell some of the finest products in the market, but our customer service is second to none. It's who we are.

Our business remains very rooted from the past generations of Robert’s & McGavin’s values and vision for service and community. While we’ve grown and experienced change, those timeless values have been our bedrock—and the reason the link between our company, the community, and our customers has remained so strong.
