DUBUQUE, Iowa — McCoy Group, Inc., a family-owned company based in Dubuque, IA, is expanding its business base into Tennessee and Kentucky with the purchase of eight John Deere Construction and Forestry stores from Meade Tractor, Inc. (“Meade Tractor”). The acquisition is expected to be finalized in early October 2023.  MCF plans to retain the current Meade Tractor (Construction & Forestry) employees as part of the acquisition.  This expansion will bring the number of McCoy Construction & Forestry John Deere stores to 24, located throughout the Midwest. 

“We are proud and excited to announce another expansion with our John Deere division.  A continued thanks to all McCoy Group employees that make these opportunities possible,” commented Greg McCoy, President and CEO of McCoy Group, Inc. 

Jeff Herkert, MCF President, added, “As we continue to expand this business unit the passion for customer service will remain our focus.  We are excited by the possibilities this new chapter brings for our new and existing customers, employees, John Deere, and the entire McCoy Group family.” 

 “This partnership will be an outstanding opportunity for Meade Tractor’s Construction and Forestry customers and most importantly for Meade’s valuable Construction and Forestry employees,” stated Chuck Meade, President of Meade Tractor. “The McCoy family has a remarkable track record with customers and employees dating all the way back to 1958. They recognize the expertise and relationships the Meade team brings to their group. Both organizations are sure to benefit from the sharing of best practices, as two strong teams meld together to become one high-performing unit under the McCoy Construction & Forestry brand.  Meade Tractor will continue to expand its existing John Deere Agriculture and Turf dealerships and we look forward to partnering with McCoy to advance the John Deere brand in our respective markets.” 

The new McCoy Construction & Forestry locations will join a growing organization that is already home to five subsidiaries including 26 Midwest-based Freightliner dealerships Truck Country and Stoops, and  51- terminal bulk tank transportation companies Foodliner and Quest Liner.
