Calgary, Alberta – October 27, 2026 – Vi by visorPRO®, the AI-powered aftermarket platform built for equipment dealerships, is pleased to announce that Franklin Welding & Equipment, Kearney Equipment and Mason Machinery have chosen Vi as their AI partner. The three equipment dealerships join Vi by visorPRO’s growing network of AGCO, CNH, JCB and KRONE dealer partners.

Vi’s network, which now spans more than 60 OEM and short line brands, is increasing profitability in the aftermarket departments of more than 25 dealership groups globally.

Franklin Welding & Equipment is a family-owned Massey Ferguson dealership that has served Franklin County, Virginia, since 1946. Kearney Equipment, a full-service dealership serving central Nebraska, represents Massey Ferguson, Hesston, KRONE and JCB. Mason Machinery, a family-owned dealership serving Utah from locations in Aurora and Springville since 1948, represents New Holland and Massey Ferguson.

“Franklin Welding & Equipment, Kearney Equipment and Mason Machinery all run shops that service more than one brand under the same roof,” said John Schmeiser, Chief Operating Officer of Vi by visorPRO. “A technician might be on a Massey Ferguson tractor in the morning and a JCB skid steer by the afternoon. Vi’s job is to make sure that switch doesn’t slow anyone down, no matter which brand shows up.”

“Our motto has always been ‘Service is our Business.’ That doesn’t mean much if our guys are flipping through manuals while a farmer’s waiting on his baler mid-season,” said Billy Boone, Owner of Franklin Welding & Equipment. “We’re a small shop. We don’t have a big parts department or a dozen techs to spread the work around, so every minute counts more for us than it might somewhere bigger. Vi gets our guys an answer without missing a beat, and that’s what keeps customers coming back.”

“We started out as a Hesston hay dealer, and we’ve evolved into a Massey Ferguson dealer and added the JCB and KRONE lines as the business grew,” said Aaron Weaver, General Manager of Kearney Equipment. “Each new line used to mean more manuals to dig through and more time spent second guessing a diagnosis. Vi cuts that guesswork out, so our customers get the answers they are looking for faster, and that helps our techs and parts personnel to be more efficient.”

“When a technician at one of our stores runs into an unfamiliar repair, the answer shouldn’t depend on who happens to be working that day or whether our other location has seen it before,” said Eric Mason, Owner of Mason Machinery. “Vi gives our locations access to de-identified repair intelligence from a broader dealership network, helping our teams solve problems more consistently and get customers back to work faster.”

Franklin Welding & Equipment, Kearney Equipment and Mason Machinery join Vi by visorPRO’s customer base that spans dozens of brands and dealership sizes, all looking to get the same thing out of their aftermarket departments: faster answers on the shop floor and fewer hours lost to guesswork. Vi’s footprint across North America and Australia keeps expanding as more equipment dealerships bring the AI platform into their day-to-day service operations.
