Dan Coley, Hi-Vac Corporation President, talks about the successful partnership the company has established in just two years with RDO Equipment Co. and RDO Vermeer – and even how the RDO team has played a role in new features and improvements to products.

To work in challenging ground conditions, rugged, reliable directional drilling equipment is a must – and Windwave gets it with Vermeer HDD machines from RDO Equipment Co.

In recent years, Section 179 details haven’t been available until closer to the close of the current year. However, with the passing of 2018’s tax reform, program info has been available for quite some time for those looking at year-end purchases to apply Section 179.

This month, the RDO Vermeer team in Oregon is partnering with Vermeer for its first-ever Road Show.

Last fall, Vermeer introduced a new drill to its lineup of HDD units for utility installation: the Vermeer D40x55DR S3 Navigator®. This fall, the Oregon RDO-Vermeer team is hosting a special Road Show with Vermeer to showcase the new unit.

For a business to thrive, equipment needs to experience as little downtime as possible, making service and support equally as important as the machines themselves.

Around the Willamette Valley, Oregon, Apryl Fouts is known as the “Drill Diva” by her colleagues and customers. She’s been sitting at the controls of a horizontal directional drill (HDD) for 14 years now and has taken on some of the area’s most challenging projects.

From backyard irrigation projects to commercial utility installations, pedestrian – or walk-behind – trenchers are useful for numerous applications. For rental centers, there are several potential customers interested in renting this specialized machine, making it a great addition to the fleet.

The RDO Vermeer took home ten awards at Vermeer’s annual Dealer Year End Meeting. Highlighting the awards, the group was named #1 in the world for Recycling and Forestry for the second year in a row, and #1 in the world for Utility.
