Ragan Equipment History
The year was 1982 and RAGAN EQUIPMENT started business on Hayden Avenue near the intersection of Ramsey in Hayden. Rapid growth of the business required a larger place where RAGAN EQUIPMENT has been located ever since in Coeur d'Alene or CDA as it is often called.
Those of you that have already been to our CDA location will know that the store is sits back off of W Hanley Ave by about 100 feet south of the actual Hanley street. Back in the early days of the "new" location on W Hanley, it was a short 100 foot walk or drive from the Hanley street itself on a dirt "driveway" to RAGAN EQUIPMENT (RE). Except for a barn across from RE nothing else really existed around RE at that time. As you drove down W Hanley or the highway it crossed, you easily saw RE. Over the years McDONALDS restaurant built on the corner lot. APPLEBEE's, TRI-STATE OUTFITTERS, SILVER LAKE MALL and pretty much everything around are developments after RAGAN EQUIPMENT established business in this part of CDA.
Obviously the area has grown considerably. RE itself has tripled in size with two other lots for equipment to match the local growth and our own business. Many other businesses in the area have come and gone but RAGAN EQUIPMENT is still family owned, and still here to serve you. So for those of you new to the area and want to stop by RE, just go right down the added street that now exists between McDONALDS and APPLEBEE's off of W Hanley and there we are.

Or you can ask just about anyone who has been in the CDA area for some time where the folks are that handle the long green line of JOHN DEERE tractors and equipment.
