Since being back home from Arizona, we’ve had time to truly reflect on what an incredible experience John Deere provided during their Excavator Test Pilot Appreciation Event. Being part of a company like John Deere and CL Boyd is an absolute blessing. When you commit to a product you truly believe in and devote yourself to being ALL IN, it’s because you know it will stand by you through both the good times and the tough ones. John Deere and CL Boyd do exactly that.
F5 Welding & Dozer will be the first to say that John Deere truly has it all. Their equipment is, hands down, the best of the best—but it’s the people behind it that make it extraordinary. From management to engineers, line workers, and the entire team behind it, we’ve never met a more genuine, down-to-earth group. To say we feel like family within the John Deere family doesn’t even begin to capture it—we’re truly grateful for the trust, the support, and the relationships that make this partnership so special.
CL Boyd thank you for the relationships you’ve built with F5. From sales and service to financing, it has never felt like just business. The trust, support, and genuine care you show go far beyond equipment and numbers. You’ve created something truly special within your team, and we are incredibly thankful and honored that F5 gets to be a part of it. This partnership means more to us than words can express and is a true foundation of our success.
Over the past few months, we’ve been blessed to produce John Deere testimonial commercials, share the F5 story with the John Deere team at the Coal Valley Training Facility in Illinois, and be part of the Test Pilot Program. We are truly grateful for these opportunities!
There is so much emotion and heart poured into the construction business we’ve embarked on. When you have dealers like CL Boyd and equipment like John Deere, you’re introduced to the true workhorse of our time. The trust we place in John Deere helps support over 50 F5 families—and in that statement alone, we are proud supporters of this line. Not just because of the name, but because of the legacy that stands behind it.
The next line of P-Series Excavators is a game-changer. Much like the original introduction of the John Deere tractor, this series is setting a new standard and will lead the future of excavators.
We are beyond grateful to be part of something so special.
So much more to come, and we’re looking forward to sharing!!!!
