TRULAND Equipment Fort Wayne, IN

A farm market and a city market at the same time

Fort Wayne is where three rivers meet. The St. Joseph and the St. Marys come together here to form the Maumee, which runs 137 miles northeast through farm country and glacial moraine before emptying into Lake Erie at Toledo. That geography is the reason this is both a city and a farm town. Allen County is one of the largest counties in Indiana by area, and outside the city limits it is solid corn and soybean ground running out toward New Haven, Harlan, Monroeville, Hoagland and Woodburn.

So the Fort Wayne store carries two jobs. One is supporting real production agriculture, with combines, planters, sprayers and row crop tractors. The other is supporting the commercial and residential turf, landscape, snow and compact construction work that a metro area of this size generates all year. We stock and staff for both instead of pretending the county is only one or the other.

Row crop farming in the Maumee watershed

The Maumee watershed drains over 4.2 million acres, and roughly 72 percent of that is agricultural land, mostly corn and soybeans. Because the Maumee is the largest tributary feeding the western basin of Lake Erie, nutrient loss from this watershed gets a lot of attention, and Allen County landowners and the local soil and water district have been actively working the issue for years.

For a farm here, that translates into practical decisions. Placement and timing of phosphorus. Cover crops. Tile management. Accurate as-applied records. Those are agronomy decisions, but they run on equipment setup and data, which is where we can help. Our Agronomy Data Services are $1 per acre for management zones or sample grids uploaded to John Deere Operations Center, with soil results and prescriptions uploaded as well. In-season soil nitrogen testing is $60 per sample, plant tissue testing $60 and manure testing $90.

Equipment for farms, contractors and turf crews

On the ag side we sell and support John Deere row crop and 4WD tractors, combines with corn heads and platforms, planters, drills, air seeders, sprayers, tillage tools and hay and forage equipment. On the compact and commercial side we handle skid steers, compact track loaders, compact wheel loaders and compact excavators, plus Gators, ZTrak and QuikTrak commercial mowers, front mowers, wide area mowers, and commercial walk-behind mowers.

For homeowners and acreage owners around Huntertown, Leo-Cedarville and Grabill, the 1023E, 1025R, 2025R and 3025E tractor and loader packages, X Series lawn and garden tractors and zero-turn mowers are the everyday business. We also carry Toro, CAM Superline trailers, SnowEx and Boss snow plows, and a very deep STIHL catalog. Finance offers on commercial mowing equipment come and go and are always subject to approved credit and to change. Call 260-489-9751 for what is current.

Parts and service, in season and year round

A commercial mowing crew that loses a machine on a Tuesday in June has the same problem a farmer has when a combine goes down in October. The revenue does not wait. Our Fort Wayne parts counter carries parts for tractors, tillage tools, planters, air seeders, drills, sprayers, hay equipment, ag technology, skid steers, track loaders, mini excavators and wheel loaders, plus the turf side. Parts can be ordered online through Shop.Deere.com, and TRULAND runs Parts Drop Locations across the region.

Our service and repair work covers walk-behind equipment, lawn tractors, 2WD and 4WD Gators, residential and commercial zero-turn mowers, small and large frame garden tractors, sub-compact tractors and compact tractors, along with the full ag and compact construction lineup. Inspection programs run across 18 machine types including combines, corn heads, platforms, planters, sprayers, tillage, balers, skid steers, compact track loaders, compact wheel loaders and compact excavators. PowerGard Protection Plans are available on new John Deere equipment.

Precision ag and the support center

TRULAND's Precision Ag Support Center is reachable at (260) 296-2391, and it covers diagnostics and code assistance, in-field operational and precision ag questions, and John Deere Operations Center data support both in season and off season. Phone support runs $299 per year.

Our Total Farm Support Plan is $1,500 for spring or fall and includes an Operations Center pre-season review and data clean-up, data transfer from Operations Center to your equipment, software updates for equipment compatibility, in-field technology startup and a full year of Call Center support. Boundary mapping uses a TRULAND-supplied 835M Gator and precision ag equipment, with boundaries driven and uploaded into Operations Center, and a Full-Service Boundary Program is available. We also publish guides, a parts finder, a TRULAND RTK Network dealer map and video libraries covering general help, Operations Center, harvest, sprayer and planting.

The advantage of an 18-store group

Fort Wayne is one of 18 TRULAND stores across Indiana and Ohio, and several of them are close: Woodburn to the east, Huntington and Bluffton to the south, Angola to the north, and Edgerton just over the Ohio line. For a customer, that network mostly means two things. Parts get transferred between stores rather than sitting on backorder, and used equipment can be moved so you can look at it here rather than driving across two states.

The used inventory across the group runs to hundreds of units at a time, covering tractors, harvesting equipment, tillage, planting and seeding, sprayers, zero-turn mowers, grain handling, utility vehicles, compact construction, hay and forage, material handling, lawn and garden, precision ag and attachments. If you are shopping a specific model and horsepower class, that depth matters more than any single store's lot.
