A Great Year for Gateway Ford Tractor, Inc.
It’s been a great year for
Gateway Ford Tractor, Inc., 15410
Chrysler Dr., Upper Marlboro,
Md. Last year the progressive
dealership sold 75 Ford tractors
and they expect to beat that record
this year.
In the used tractor department it
looks like it is going to be a 90 to 100
sale year.
But sales isn’t the only thing
going on at Gateway with a
mechanical force of seven, plus the
service manager, customer ser
vice is an important part of the
business.
Working out of Beltsville, Md.
from 1972 until the current facility
was opened on 3 acres of land with
7,200 square feet of space in 1976,
business has continued to grow.
At the head of Gateway’s staff of
15 is President and General
Manager Larry Groff. He is
assisted by Jack Humphreys, sales
manager and Edna Denning, office
manager. Parts Manager Mac
McLean and Service Manager
Kevin Davenhall round out the
management team.
They estimate that half of their
business comes from the tobacco
and small grains farms in the area
and the rest from construction.
Forty tractors and implements are
POWER!
