Five Star Equipment Inc. is augmenting its line of purpose-built, heavy-duty equipment with the mulching-industry leader, Fecon. Fecon manufactures durable, cutting-edge equipment that fits a wide range of applications for vegetation-management, environmental, oil and gas, and construction. Five Star Equipment will sell the complete line of Fecon FTX tracked carriers, rubber tire tractors, Bull Hog forestry mulchers and forestry attachments.

Five Star Equipment Inc. was founded in 1980, employs more than 150 people in its eight locations, and sells various brands into the local construction and forestry industries, including John Deere and Hitachi.

Fecon is well-known for innovative and proven attachment technology, including its signature Bull Hog line that features several configurations for skid steers, PTO tractors and excavators. Traditional drum and innovative depth-control rotor systems are available to match individual users' clearing, right-of-way, pasture and wildlife restoration and other applications.

“The team at Five Star Equipment is excited to partner with Fecon, so we can provide our customers with additional high-quality equipment to help them be more productive in their jobs,” said Tim Higley, director of corporate sales and marketing at Five Star Equipment. “Fecon works seamless with the John Deere Construction and Forestry line we offer. It is a great addition to our current line up.”

“We are excited about Five Start Equipment Inc. coming on board with the Fecon as a full service stocking dealer,” said Joe Cox, regional manager at Fecon. “This partnership makes equipment inventory and parts inventory readily available to Fecon customers in Pennsylvania and western New York. Working together, Fecon and Five Star Equipment will be able to provide better service support to our customers in this area, as well.”
