    Thu May 16, 2019 - Southeast Edition #11
    CEG


    Southland Machinery and its sister company, JCB of Alabama, hosted a demo event on May 3 at the company's Leeds, Ala. location. The event served to provide an opportunity to test equipment and spotlight and promote the newest product offerings from JCB, SANY, Dressta, and Bandit.

    Representatives of JCB and other manufacturers came out to support the event, where giveaways and prizes were awarded throughout the day. Good fortune for good weather as lunch was cooked and served outside the showroom area with plenty of time for guests to talk to their Southland Machinery/JCB of Alabama salesmen about the machines on display around the grounds at the Leeds location.
