Just a friendly reminder… the clock's ticking. 👀🦌

We're almost halfway through October, and our Nichols Hunting October Special is still going strong!

Purchase a 6x6 Redneck Blind and get a folding swivel chair, curtains AND a porch extension — all FREE!

Not a bad way to upgrade your hunting setup, if you ask us. 😎

Don't wait until the last minute to get yours lined up!

Mother Nature doesn't take reservations. We do. ❄️😎
​
We all know what's coming… and waiting until the snow starts flying to find equipment, isn't exactly the best game plan. 😂
​
Nichols Equipment is gearing up for winter, and our snow rental rates are available!

Whether you're clearing parking lots, managing properties, or keeping jobsites moving, let's get you prepared for whatever winter throws our way.

📞 Call the Nichols crew or send us a message directly to discuss your winter equipment needs.

Apparently, our equipment doesn't believe in staying close to home. 😂🇺🇸

Nichols Equipment may call Iowa home, but our reach goes a whole lot further.

From our yard to jobsites across the country, we're proud to help customers get the equipment they need to get the job done. 💪

📍 Every pin tells a story of where Nichols has been putting in work recently.

Based in Iowa. Built to go the distance.

Now we're curious… what state are you following us from? 👀👇

We like our equipment dirty on the job site and looking GOOD when it leaves our yard. 😎

Behind every clean machine is a Nichols crew member putting in the work.

Shoutout to the crew making these machines look good before they head out to get dirty again. 💪🏼

Big machines. Little operators. BIG smiles. 😎🚜

If you've got kiddos who love big equipment as much as we do, you'll want to check out Dozer Days at the fairgrounds this weekend! A few pieces of Nichols Equipment will be joining the fun, and we couldn't be more excited to be part of an event that gets families up close with the machines we work with every day.

And speaking of big equipment and family fun… 👀

We're excited to bring back The Nichols Experience this summer to the community!

But first things first… who's heading to Dozer Days this weekend?! 🙋‍♂️

We won’t tell you how old he is… we like our jobs😜

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Mike, owner of NE and the guy responsible for getting this whole thing started. Nichols Equipment wouldn’t be what it is today without his vision, hard work, leadership and probably a few ideas that made everyone else say, “you want to do WHAT?!”

Today we’re celebrating the guy behind the company. Happy Birthday Mike! 🥳🎈

Drop him a birthday wish — or better yet, your favorite story about him — below.

Fresh to the fleet 👀

New D6 just landed at Nichols and the crew is putting in the work to get it rental ready.

It’ll look pretty sitting here… but we’d rather see it covered in dirt on your job site. 😎

Need it for a job? Rent it. Need it for ALL the jobs? We’ll sell it to ya.

So… who wants to be the first one to get it dirty? 👀

Loaded. Strapped. Gone. 💨

Another load of Nichols Equipment headed down the road and off to its next job.

Around the corner or out of town — we’ll help get you what you need, where you need it. 💪🏼

Where are we headed next?

Not our typical jobsite… 😂

A few pieces of Nichols Equipment hit the streets this weekend for Oktoberfest, and we had a great time being part of the parade! Thanks to everyone who came out and made it a great weekend. 🍻

And if you happened to notice the Redneck Blind tagging along… that wasn't an accident. 👀

Our October Redneck Blinds Special is still on:
Buy a 6x6 Redneck Blind and get a folding swivel chair + curtains + porch extension FREE.

A little work equipment, a little hunting equipment… sounds like Nichols to us. 😎
