Agri Center has just opened a new and much larger dealership in Hutchinson, Kansas. The new location, which is more than double the size of the original facility, will continue to sell and service JAGUAR forage harvesters and the complete line of CLAAS balers and hay tools. The dealership also recently added the complete range of LEXION combines, moving one step closer to long line status.

“We are very happy with our recent expansion as it has allowed us to better serve our new and existing grower-customers,” said Lee File, general manager of Agri Center. “Our dealership was built on the philosophy of fostering a business relationship with both our growers and employees. It’s not just a buying and selling transaction; it’s creating long-term trusting relationships.”

Agri Center will continue to provide parts and service offerings for all products with 24/7 in-field support by factory-trained technicians to growers in Kansas.

Founded in 1952, Agri Center began carrying CLAAS equipment in the 2001 and recently began selling and servicing LEXION combines. The new location is 37,000 square feet and the service and parts departments are more than double the size of the previous location, allowing the dealership to store more parts and service growers in the field faster and more efficiently. The inventory features more than 12,000 items on the shelves. If a part is not in stock, Agri Center orders for next-day delivery.

“The new Agri Center space is new, improved and extremely impressive,” said Eric Raby, CLAAS of America President and General Manager – Sales. “The dealership offers superior support and fosters community involvement, which customers have grown to respect and trust. We are fortunate to call Agri Center a trusted CLAAS partner.”
