HISTORY OF WATERMAN’S

Established in the 1930’s by Erland Waterman, who unfortunately died as a young man, the dealership was then operated for a short time by his wife Lola Waterman Sigel until she found she could no longer manage two young boys and both the dairy and equipment operations. She then decided to let the equipment business go. As the years passed, Don and Robert graduated from college in 1955 and regained control of the dealership. Within a short time the dealership grew under their nurturing and leadership, while working on the farm and raising big families. To this day both farm and dealership continue to flourish. Although Bob and Don recently retired, their impact can still be felt.

In the late 1970’s and early 1980’s, Bob and Pete (sons of Robert) and Dave and Jim (sons of Don) joined the business. Pete headed over to the farm in 1981, while Bob, Dave and Jim elected to stay with the equipment end of things and are managing partners of the equipment business. While Jim works as General Manager, Bob heads up the Sales Department as Manager and Dave manages the road service end of the business.

Today, with the new principles of Waterman Farm Machinery, and new visions, the company will continue to grow to its fullest potential. The "family (staff)" of Waterman's are committed to provide our customers the best sales, service, and parts available in the equipment industry today!
