For four generations, the Estes family has supported local farmers with a full lineup of John Deere products. The partnership between our family and yours began in 1944. Ralph Estes co-founded Bucklin Tractor and Implement Company in southwest Kansas. In 1960, his son, Maynard, continued the family legacy and became the company president. In turn, his children, Bud, Mike, Letty, and Kelly, along with grandson Jeremie and nephew Ron Yancey became key components of BTI. They are now responsible for the corporate side of BTI as well as the daily operations of four highly visible dealerships.

The partnership between our family of managers and employees continues today in southwest Kansas. BTI and the Estes family are known for dedication to customers and being in business to serve their complete area of responsibility. As our customer base continues to be part of our extended family, our neighbors know we are as loyal to them as they are to us.
