Opportunity to Operate the Next Generation of Madill Machines

Madill, a name that’s been part of the Pacific Northwest logging landscape for generations, is back in the U.S. and back in a big way. 

For decades, the sight of “Madill red” on a logging site has meant rugged reliability, unmatched lifting power, and a machine that’s built to handle the toughest conditions.

Now, with DC Equipment’s resources and innovation behind it, Madill is entering an exciting new chapter—while staying true to its heritage.

And here’s the news: purpose-built Madill forestry excavators are now available for on-site demonstration across Washington State.

For Operators, By People Who Get It

When was the last time you climbed into a brand-new Madill? For many, it’s been years—and this is the perfect opportunity to change that.

These aren’t just static showroom pieces—you’ll get to see them work in real conditions. Step into the cab, get a feel for the controls, and picture how they’d fit into your operation. It’s a rare chance to experience the machines in the environment they were built for, with the added bonus of having a Madill veteran by your side to answer every question.

Meet Russ Smith—Your Guide to All Things Madill

While on site, you’ll be able to ask Russ Smith, Madill Product Specialist and forestry veteran everything Madill related, from the future of the company and upcoming machine developments, to pricing, specifications, and more.

Russ isn’t just a salesperson, he’s spent more than four decades in the forestry industry, and many of those years working alongside Madill machines in the field and building a deep understanding of what operators truly need.

His history with the brand goes back to the days when Madill yarders and loaders were the workhorses of logging crews across the Pacific Northwest. That long-standing connection means he’s not only knowledgeable about the latest upgrades but also has a bank of stories, tips, and hard-earned insights you won’t find in any brochure.

And he may even have a classic Madill trucker hat to throw your way.
