“Jeff Miller and his team at Trophy Tractor have been great partners and friends,” said Smithley. “They are a group of hard-working people, who are committed to offering great equipment, at a great cost and, best of all, they do it with a smile on their faces. It’s an honor to represent the Trophy Tractor brand. It’s an honor to represent the Trophy Tractor brand and I know this is only the beginning.”
