LISLE, IL — West Side Tractor Sales Co., a family-owned and operated construction equipment dealer serving Illinois and Indiana, announces the official launch of its new Quarry and Aggregates Division. This specialized unit supports the demands of quarry operations, aggregate producers, and high-production environments with solutions, machines, and service.
"As the ownership family of West Side Tractor, we have high hopes for the customer experience and enhanced solutions we can bring to this industry segment," said Tom Benck, Executive Vice President of West Side Tractor. “With decades of experience supporting production-class John Deere equipment, we’ve evolved to offer even more products and solutions. This expanded capability allows us to support our customers more holistically and make it easier for them to get everything they need all in one place.”
The new Quarry and Aggregates Division is powered by a team of professionals, including:
- Greg Hilliard, Quarry and Aggregate Specialist, Sales: Hilliard has over 40 years of experience in the industry with a background in managing multiple quarry operations in Illinois. He is an expert in equipment selection, site productivity, and production strategy.
- Scott Stander, Quarry and Aggregate Specialist, Aftermarket: Stander is a fleet maintenance and repair veteran with more than 30 years of experience managing hundreds of assets and parts. He brings real-world knowledge of what it takes to keep heavy equipment running at full throttle.
- Tate VanOvermeiren, John Deere Production-Class Equipment Specialist: VanOvermeiren joined the West Side Tractor sales team in 2008. Over the years he has evolved to become this segment’s specialist with advanced training, onsite support, and best practices.
- A team of machine data analysts and reporting specialists will also provide actionable insights to improve uptime, productivity, and long-term performance.
West Side Tractor backs up its machines with support, including a John Deere Certified Rebuild Center and a crew of certified technicians skilled in heavy-duty equipment repairs that extend machine lifespan. To help customers streamline their operations, West Side Tractor is also developing a custom parts inventory tracking system — designed to simplify the sourcing and management of thousands of components essential to keeping plants up and running. For customers looking to optimize their parts inventory strategy, the Quarry and Aggregates team can assist with plant audit services.

Whether it is a mobile operation or a stationary plant, West Side Tractor offers a lineup of OEM and aftermarket parts. The company also partners with customers on equipment consignments and used equipment transactions.
To further support customers from pit to plant, West Side Tractor is now an official Eagle Crusher dealer. Eagle Crusher — a family-owned American manufacturer with over 100 years of experience — is known for rugged crushing and screening equipment built in the Midwest.
“Our companies share a deep commitment to quality, service, and supporting the industries that build America,” Benck said. “We’re proud to bring Eagle Crusher into our lineup and offer a truly comprehensive solution for quarry and aggregate producers.”
As the distributor in Illinois and Wisconsin, West Side Tractor will represent the full line of Eagle Crusher heavy-duty crushing and screening equipment for the recycled concrete, asphalt, aggregate, and sand and gravel industries.
