Meet DeWayne Ricklefs – Equipment Sales Specialist at Arrowhead Realty Company & Auction

If you’re looking to buy or sell used farm equipment in Iowa, Minnesota, or Texas, look no further than DeWayne Ricklefs, one of the most trusted and experienced names in the business. DeWayne brings over four decades of hands-on experience, leadership, and a lifelong passion for agriculture to the Arrowhead Realty Company & Auction team, making him one of the most respected equipment sales professionals in the Midwest.

DeWayne’s story began in Ida Grove, Iowa, where his exceptional drive quickly earned him a top sales position at Hultgren John Deere. His performance and customer relationships were so outstanding that within just eight years, he was offered part ownership in the dealership. For more than 40 years, DeWayne and his partners built a business rooted in honesty, hard work, and unparalleled service — principles he continues to live by today.

After selling the company to C&B Equipment, many would have chosen retirement, but not DeWayne. His lifelong love for agriculture and farm machinery led him to continue doing what he does best — connecting buyers and sellers of quality used equipment across the region. Today, he proudly represents Arrowhead Realty Company & Auction, where he helps clients maximize value on every transaction — whether it’s tractors, combines, planters, or heavy machinery.

Outside of the equipment world, DeWayne has spent more than 40 years as a high school and college football referee, a testament to his focus, energy, and commitment to excellence. That same tenacity carries over into his work every single day. Known for his integrity, sharp business acumen, and unmatched customer care, DeWayne continues to set the standard in farm equipment sales and auctions.

DeWayne and his wife, Becky, have been happily married since December 1977. Together, they have three children and four grandchildren, forming a close-knit family that loves spending time together whenever possible. Family, faith, and hard work are at the core of everything DeWayne does — both personally and professionally.
