A June 28, 2025 report by Christine Book in Rural Lifestyle Dealer outlined the planned June 30 closing of Carl F. Statz & Sons. The third-generation Waunakee business had served customers for 95 years.
The report placed the announcement within a wider transition: equipment sales had been taking place, with auctions or returns being considered for remaining inventory. Management had first publicized the closing plans in mid-May.
Book's account identified the dealership's historical mix of farm implements, outdoor equipment and recreational vehicles. It also referred to family leadership and roughly 30 employees. These are archival descriptions and are not a statement of the business's present workforce or brand authorizations.
A subsequent reopening announcement
Subsequent information provided by the owner says the business reopened September 1, 2026 with offers covering new and used equipment. The announcement includes a redesigned statzeq.com website; no individual discount or promotion deadline was supplied to the newsroom. Visit statzeq.com →
