Overview
Stotz Equipment sells and services John Deere machinery for farmers, golf courses, landscapers and property owners across the western United States. Its dealerships carry used equipment, from large agricultural tractors to residential lawn mowers and compact construction machines. Customers buy machinery and replacement parts through local stores, while shop and field technicians handle maintenance and repairs that keep equipment working through the season. The business also connects machines with precision technology and supplies equipment from brands such as Honda and Stihl. Founded in 1947, the family-owned dealership is headquartered in Avondale, Arizona.
