SYCAMORE – No one taught Ed Reichling how to fix up and sell used agriculture equipment. In his own words, he was just lucky.  

“No one taught me the ins and outs – it was all by hard luck,” Reichling said. “As we were selling the used, this new stuff started trickling in. Doors kept opening.”

What began as a one-man operation at the family farm in Waldwick, Wis., has expanded to three locations in Dodgeville, Wis., Utica, Ill., and – as of last fall – Sycamore. Reichling said the Sycamore branch of R-Equipment at 8789 Route 64, will be operated by his daughter Hilary.
