Widdes Trailer Sales was founded in 1994 by Josh Widdes as part of the 4th-generation family feed and farm supply business. After returning home from college to join the family feed store business, Josh identified a need in the area for a reliable trailer dealer.
What started with selling livestock and horse trailers has evolved alongside industry trends. Beginning with just three trailers, the business has grown significantly, now boasting an inventory of over 350 trailers. In 2014, a new service facility was added to accommodate the growing demand.
At Widdes Trailer Sales, we offer a wide range of trailers to meet diverse needs, including enclosed trailers, utility trailers, equipment trailers, car haulers, snowmobile trailers, and dump trailers. In addition to trailers, we are proud to sell Mahindra Tractors and Argo XTVs. Our services include trailer service and repair—ranging from basic maintenance to complete rebuilds—as well as trailer rentals and custom trailer builds.
Our mission is to provide the best customer service possible while building lasting relationships with our customers. At Widdes Trailer Sales, "Where customers become friends" is more than a motto—it’s our guiding principle.
We are located in Esko, Minnesota, and proudly serve customers no matter where they are located. While we do not have an online store or shipping options, our team is dedicated to providing personalized service to every customer who visits us.
Widdes Trailer Sales is powered by a dedicated team of six employees, split between sales and service. Each team member brings their expertise and commitment to delivering exceptional service. We take pride in being active members of our community, supporting local schools and volunteer fire departments. We also participate in charitable initiatives such as the Blackwoods Blizzard Tour (fighting ALS) and Northwoods Adaptive Recreation, which helps those with disabilities enjoy outdoor activities.
At Widdes Trailer Sales, we’re proud to serve our customers and give back to the community that has supported us for decades.
