Bucklin Tractor and Implement (BTI), a family-owned John Deere dealership founded in 1944 in Bucklin, Kansas, has grown to six locations across the state. With over 200 employees and a customer base of more than 10,000 across Kansas, BTI is proud of its 80-year legacy of providing top-tier equipment and service. The company’s success in Great Bend led to the need for a larger, more advanced location—one that matches the growing needs of customers and employees alike.
The new Great Bend facility stands out as one of the most impressive in the region, offering expanded service capabilities and enhanced customer support. The fully air-conditioned and heated shop floors provide a comfortable working environment for employees year-round, and the location is already stocked with 15,477 parts, ensuring prompt and efficient service for customers.
