Since 1930, R.S. Osgood and Sons on Route 2 in East Dixfield has been servicing the equipment needs of farmers and home gardeners alike. Founded by Roland Osgood, a sales representative for International Harvester, the business has been built on carrying quality equipment and providing excellent equipment service. Today son, Spencer, and granddaughter, Cindy, continue to expand their line of equipment while being known for providing “service second to none.”
2003 promises to continue bringing positive changes to R.S. Osgood and Sons. After 2 years of designing, planning, and building, a new addition on the west end of the building is nearing completion. The addition will provide much needed space for the more than 160,000 parts in stock. It will also free up showroom space so that more equipment can be displayed.
R.S. Osgood and Sons hope to have the addition ready for customer perusal during the 73rd Annual Open House on April 10th, 2003. The event kicks off the spring planting season with discounts on all parts and machinery. There are door prizes, catered food, and activities for all ages. In the past 800-1,200 people have attended this daylong event, which runs from 9 AM to 6 PM. This is the only time of year that EVERYTHING at R.S. Osgood and Sons is on sale.
This year also brings new equipment lines and a new employee to the business. The Kubota Grand L 30 Series will be the focus of the 2003 open house. The R.S. Osgood staff is also looking forward to introducing customers to Mike McInnis, of Wilton, R.S. Osgood and Sons’ newest salesman. McInnis is a welcome addition to the R.S. Osgood family.
