Premier Equipment Company

What Premier Equipment Company does

Premier Equipment Company is a private, multi-brand farm and construction equipment dealership operating five retail locations across eastern and central North Carolina (Rocky Mount headquarters, Enfield, Ayden, Washington, and Winston-Salem). The company is an authorized dealer for more than 30 equipment brands, with New Holland Agriculture and New Holland Construction as the primary franchises across all locations and Case IH added at the Winston-Salem site following the December 2025 acquisition of Winston Tractor Company. Premier is organized as Premier Equipment Co. of Rocky Mount, LLC and operates as an affiliate of Curtis Lane Equipment.

The product and service portfolio spans new and pre-owned equipment sales, a parts department with online ordering through mycnhstore.com, in-shop and mobile field service, an equipment rental program (Winston-Salem), in-house hauling via Ag Con Equipment Transportation, and financing facilitated through DLL Financial Solutions Partner and CNH Industrial Capital. Premier complements equipment sales with precision farming services — GPS guidance and data management — delivered in partnership with Precision Planting and Ag Leader. Recent product initiatives include the custom Premier Equipment Patriot Edition of the New Holland 345 CTL compact track loader. Customer segments are agricultural producers (primary), construction companies (primary), landscapers, government agencies, and residential homeowners.

The business model is a traditional dealer economics stack: one-time equipment sales (the dominant revenue line, with unit prices ranging from ~$37,500 for used implements to ~$285,000 for new row-crop tractors), recurring parts and service revenue, transactional rental income, and affiliate referral economics on financing. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales and inside sales through physical retail locations, supplemented by an online inventory catalog and quote/demo/trade-in tools. Headcount is approximately 80 across five locations; the company has expanded via acquisition rather than venture or growth-equity funding, and operates entirely within North Carolina.
