Leslie Equipment Co., a John Deere dealer and rental company with locations in West Virginia, Ohio and Kentucky, has added Bandit’s line of whole tree chippers and Beast recyclers to its line-up of equipment offerings. Pictured is Todd Perrine, senior vice president of Leslie Equipment.

Bandit Industries recently added Leslie Equipment Co. as a new dealer in the southern United States, with 10 locations throughout West Virginia, southern Ohio, and eastern Kentucky.

Leslie Equipment stocks complete lines of John Deere construction and forestry equipment, making Bandit whole tree chippers and Beast recyclers a natural complement to its existing lines and providing opportunities for expansion into new markets.

“We are very excited to be a new member of the Bandit family,” said Todd Perrine, senior vice president of Leslie Equipment. “After researching the different brands and the support needed to be a provider in these products, we felt the folks at Bandit had the quality, experience and support needed to fit our company.”

Bandit has added seven new dealers in 43 locations over the past six months, and has plans for further growth. For more information, visit www.banditchippers.com.
