Sunsouth LLC

For residents and agricultural professionals across Southeast Alabama, finding a reliable partner for heavy equipment, parts, and service is essential to keeping operations running smoothly. Sunsouth LLC in Abbeville has earned a reputation as a trusted John Deere dealership that customers will drive hours to visit, as noted by one out-of-state buyer who made a 10-hour trip for the right tractor. Located at 809 Columbia Road, this location combines extensive inventory with a team dedicated to integrity, quality, commitment, and innovation—values the company has upheld since its formation in June 2006.

The Abbeville store is part of the larger SunSouth network, which grew from eleven locations to twenty-one across Alabama, Georgia, and Mississippi by 2016. Despite this regional footprint, the Abbeville team maintains a hometown feel, where store manager Todd Ward, parts manager Ben Whitehead, and service manager Caine Clayton work directly with customers to solve equipment challenges. Whether you need a compact utility tractor for a small farm, a zero-turn mower for commercial landscaping, or a full-sized agricultural tractor with implements, the staff provides hands-on guidance without high-pressure sales tactics.

Tractors & Heavy Equipment

A John Deere tractor is an investment, and the lineup at Sunsouth LLC covers everything from sub-compact models for property maintenance to high-horsepower machines for row-crop farming. The sales team, including Todd Ward and Kenneth Newsome, helps buyers compare horsepower, transmission types, and compatibility with existing implements. Customers can explore new tractors on the lot, request demos, and discuss financing options that fit their budget. Used equipment is also available, inspected by technicians to ensure it meets performance standards.

Mowers, Gators & Compact Construction

Beyond tractors, the dealership stocks John Deere mowers ranging from walk-behind models to commercial-grade zero-turn riders. For property owners and hunters, Gator utility vehicles provide rugged off-road capability with cargo capacity for feed, tools, or recreation gear. The compact construction line includes skid steers, compact track loaders, and mini excavators suited for grading, trenching, and site preparation. Each machine is backed by the parts department and service center on Columbia Road.

Implements & Attachments

A tractor is only as versatile as the tools behind it. Sunsouth LLC carries a wide selection of John Deere implements—front loaders, backhoes, rotary cutters, tillers, box blades, and post-hole diggers. The parts counter, managed by Ben Whitehead, keeps common wear items in stock, while the service bay can install attachments and ensure proper calibration. Agricultural implements for larger operations are also available, helping farmers transition from planting to harvest with one equipment provider.

STIHL & Outdoor Power Equipment

In addition to green-and-yellow machines, the Abbeville location is a dealer for STIHL handheld equipment. Chainsaws, trimmers, blowers, and brushcutters are displayed alongside John Deere lawn and garden products. STIHL packages combine popular models with accessories at bundled pricing, and the service team stocks genuine STIHL parts for maintenance. This dual-brand approach makes Sunsouth LLC a single stop for both heavy equipment and handheld outdoor power tools.

Parts, Service & Support

The service department under Caine Clayton handles everything from routine maintenance to major repairs. Customer reviews frequently mention Gabe Alger in service and the prompt turnaround on diagnostics and fixes. The dealership offers in-store shopping, curbside pickup for parts orders, and delivery of equipment—a benefit highlighted by buyer Lee Yarborough, who had a tractor delivered to him in a timely manner after purchasing from out of state. Technical resources, including equipment videos and how-to tutorials on the SunSouth website, help owners operate and maintain their machines between service intervals.
