Ironhide Equipment owner Jason Vasichek said the business began as Bobcat of Grand Forks. “It was a really small facility, probably 1,800 square feet, and there were three guys,” remembers Vasichek. “We grew and in ’08, we added Devils Lake; we added Williston in ’11; Bemidji in ’16 and we moved into here in ’21 and now we have just over 80 people so it’s been quite the journey.” Agriculture has always been part of the Ironhide success story. “Ag is absolutely essential; it’s 30, 40 percent of our business easily. A lot of the growers started out not having a skid steer until they started moving totes, they graduated to a track machine and it became an essential part of their operations.” Listen to the interview.
