Two weeks after Warrior Tractor & Equipment hosted a demonstration of the new John Deere P-Tier excavators and an open house at its Huntsville, Ala., location, the event came to the company's Graysville (Birmingham), Ala., branch. The second event was another huge success.

Hundreds of customers, guests, vendors and local dignitaries turned out for the event, which featured a catfish fry and a seemingly endless array of prize drawings.

Tents filled the parking lot as vendors turned out in force to showcase their products throughout the day. The stars of the event, however, were the all-new P-Tier John Deere excavators, which were lined up in the demonstration area and ready for some operating time.

Warrior Tractor sales representatives and excavator specialists, along with John Deere Certified Dealer Instructors, were on hand to assist customers during demonstrations of the new excavator line, which represents a ground-up redesign by John Deere.

After operating a P-Tier excavator, Austin King of Plumb One Inc., a plumbing contractor in Moody, Ala., described his experience with the new machine in one word: “smooth.” The company owns approximately 10 John Deere machines.

King was particularly impressed with the SmartGrade system integrated into the machine and liked the ability to use the auto-dig system.

“The cab is really comfortable, everything is easy to understand and everything is right at your fingertips,” he said. “And the controls are easily programmable to meet your preference.”
