When Gene England bought the Ford Tractor Dealership in Winder, GA in 1978 it was the smallest dealership in the Southeast.  In 1977 they sold only 8 tractors.  Gene set a goal of selling 100 tractors a year.  His Zone manager with Ford Tractor was Mr. Charlie Smith, and Mr. Smith was excited about things might change in Winder, GA. In 1978, the first year, they sold 51 tractors.  In 1979 Gene hit his goal of 101 Ford Tractors. And that number climbed ever year with 207 in 1985.

Gene & Matt were recognized as the number one Dealer in the Southeast.  In 1986 Gene & Matt was recognized with a gold plated model tractor with a plaque that read " World Recognized"  of the only dealer that had sold 2000 tractors in one location.  Since that date Gene & Matt has continued to increase their sales.  Gene's Motto has always been to give excellent service, good pricing, and do what you say you will do. 

Gene & Matt took on Kubota Tractors in 1990. We now have a full line of Kubota tractors & equipment as well as New Holland tractors & equipment which was Ford Tractors. So Gene says your Warranty is no better that the dealer you buy from.  We service and warranty what we sell. 

Gene is also the President of the Georgia Old Time Plow Club using mules, horses and oxen for plow days that let school groups bring children and adults as well to these plow events to see how farming was done 100 years ago.  The Georgia Old Time Plow Club is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation of old-time horse, mule and oxen farming methods.  Our membership dues are $20.00 per year.  We have come a long ways from plowing using animals to our modern day tractors.  One man could plow about 2 acres a day with a team of mules.  Think about how many acres you can plow with your tractor.

P.S. Gene was raised on a farm and farmed with mules.  His family raised around 20 acres of Cotton, 10 acres of corn and 3 to 5 acres for a garden
