Carl Witte, was born and raised in central Missouri, his father had a small family run farm equipment business. He then moved to Wichita the year after graduating from high school in 1977. Went to work for Molz Equipment, a large farm equipment dealer. Mr. Molz retired in 1989 and that is when Carl Witte and Max McDaniel started Maximum Tractor. In 1992 they started to move toward the lawn equipment business. In 1995 they gave up the farm equipment franchises.They had to devote 100% of their time to the lawn and garden equipment side of the business. In 1997 Carl purchased Max McDaniel's interest in the business. This allowed Carl to grow Maximum Tractor to one of the largest lawn and garden equipment and parts suppliers in the Wichita area. It is a family run business. Paul Witte is the parts manager, Alex Witte is the service manager and Luke Witte ( 3 ) ( a title one of our commercial customers tagged him with) works in shipping and also helps on the parts counter. Melanie Witte is the office manager and takes care of the office duties. Having a family business sometimes can be trying but most of the time there is no better way to have it. In 2005 Maximum Tractor changed the name to Maximum Outdoor Equipment And Service Inc. The name change was to identify the business better for the customers we are serving. MOES is located at 1002 S West (Kellogg and West) Carl can be reached at 316-943-0201and sells several brands of lawn mowers, trimmers, and chain saws as well as offering parts and service for most brands of equipment.
