About us
Beard Equipment Company was founded in 1970 by William B. Beard Sr. as a John Deere Construction and Forestry dealer. Mr. Beard believed in taking care of customers and having agreements based on handshakes. He felt that the two most important company assets are the relationship with our customers and having high quality employees. The company continues to operate with these values at the core of our philosophy. Three generations of the Beard family have operated the business for over 50 years and the family approach to customers and employees is a key ingredient to our success. Today approximately 500 hard working employees serve customers across all of our equipment divisions. They are all linked by one common goal: Focusing on our customer and their equipment needs.
