As for as the Komatsu PC200, “It’s an awesome machine compared to the other excavator we own,” commented Wynkoop. “It does more work and has better visibility. Timm has operated other brands, and he really likes that machine.”
“It’s comfortable and operator-friendly,” agreed Timm Wynkoop. “It’s quiet and fast, and it has a lot of power.”
Todd Wynkoop is also pleased with RMS and the relationship he has forged with territory manager Delane Wolter, from RMS’ Cedar Rapids, Iowa, branch. “Delane is one of the few salesmen I call back willingly,” he said. “He convinced me to buy our Load King trailer, which was one of the smarter things I’ve done.
This bridge on a farm operation near Stanwood, Iowa, was constructed out of railroad cars.
It’s one of the unique agricultural improvement projects completed by Wynkoop
Equipment Co.
Timm Wynkoop uses Wynkoop Equipment Co.’s new Komatsu PC200LC-6 excavator to
demolish this house in Tipton, Iowa. “It’s comfortable and operator-friendly as well as
quiet, fast and powerful,” he noted.
We needed a bigger trailer for the Komatsu, and we needed to detach the trailer for safety instead of loading over the back. The trailer is strong and super-easy to use.
“I’ve never had any trouble getting anything from RMS,” continued Wynkoop. “Parts availability is good, and they answer my questions about service technicalities. I’m sure if we ever run into a repair we can’t handle, RMS will be able to take care of it.”
Wynkoop added that he worked closely with the finance team at RMS to acquire his equipment. “They were extremely helpful in tailoring the finance package to meet my needs,” he said. “That was an important consideration when I purchased the Dressta dozer.”
Quality work leads to repeat business
Todd Wynkoop credited the quality work he and Timm produce for the success of Wynkoop Equipment Co. “We do the best job we can and try to please everybody,” he stated. “Our repeat business and repeat customers indicate we’re doing something right.”
He also praised the operating abilities of his brother. “Timm can do anything I can do, but better,” he marveled. “People come looking specifically for Timm. Most of the time he operates the equipment, which frees me up to do the administrative part of the business. That’s why he runs the newer dozer and hoe — he does most of the work.”
Business is good, but hectic
Todd Wynkoop noted that Wynkoop Equipment Co. is very busy. “In the spring and fall — any time the farmer can be in the field — we are in there working on waterways,” he said. “It’s really hectic, dawn to dusk, seven days a week, unless it rains. In the last three years, there hasn’t been a non-peak season. Once the corn is planted, we can’t do waterways anymore, but we always have projects to do,” he continued.
“I don’t really see us growing much more and having a whole crew of employees. My goal is to end up with some really nice equipment and upgrade the rest of my fleet,” he concluded.
