New Dealer Spotlight: How Topsham Tractor Found Fast Success with LS Tractor
When a dealership grows quickly, builds a loyal customer base, and becomes a trusted name in its community – all within just a few years – it’s worth paying attention. That’s exactly why we’re featuring Topsham Tractor of Topsham, Maine, in our LS Tractor New Dealer Highlight series.
Topsham Tractor may be a newer LS Tractor dealer, but their rapid success reflects something we see again and again across our network: when a family-run business with strong values partners with a brand build on performance, support, and value, great things happen.
In this interview, General Manager Sam Crick shares how Topsham Tractor has grown, why they chose LS Tractor, and what makes the partnership such a strong fit.
A Family-Owned Business Built on Customer Care
Topsham Tractor opened its doors in 2021, expanding from its parent location in Manchester, Maine. Despite being a relatively young dealership, their philosophy is rooted in something timeless: treating customers like family.
Sam explains that their success comes from a simple but powerful approach:
“We take care of customers just as we take care of our own family.”
That mindset has helped Topsham Tractor build a reputation for reliability, trust, and genuine service – qualities that resonate deeply with LS Tractor owners.
Why Topsham Tractor Chose LS Tractor
When deciding which tractor brand to bring into their dealership, Topsham Tractor looked for a partner that matched their commitment to value and customer support. LS Tractor stood out immediately.
According to Sam:
- LS is aggressive in the marketplace, offering strong programs and consistent marketing support.
- Finance packages remain competitive, even when other brands pull back.
- Backend support is strong, giving dealers confidence during both busy and slow seasons.
- The product lineup delivers unmatched value, especially in horsepower-to-price comparisons
Sam puts it simply:
“It’s been a great brand to have. There is always something to be excited about with LS.”
Products That Impress – And Sell Fast
Topsham Tractor has seen strong demand across the LS lineup, but one series stands out: the MT2 series.
- They brought in eight units.
- They sold all eight units in one month.
Sam credits this to LS Tractor’s engineering:
- Smooth-running Yanmar and Mitsubishi engines (not to mention LS offers models featuring their own LS engines).
- Compatibility with mid-mount mowers (MT225S), backhoes, and front snow blowers.
- A 3-range transmission that offers flexibility for travel, work, and heavy digging.
- Lift capacities that outperform competitors in the same class.
As Sam notes when referencing the customer monthly payment:
“For 30 or 40 horsepower tractors that lift 2500 pounds, nobody else can match that.”

Topsham Tractor may be early in their journey, but the results speak for themselves. Strong sales, enthusiastic customers, and a dealership culture built on family values have created a foundation for long-term success.
