About LDI

LDI began in Hays, Kansas, in 1988 when our president, Brian Lang, opened a repair shop out of his toolbox. Since those days, LDI has grown into a full-service equipment dealership with extensive sales, product, and technology support. We are the only ag dealership to serve the entire state of Kansas, with locations in Hays, Smith Center, Colby, Salina, Hillsboro, Ellinwood, Topeka, Chanute, Garden City, and South Hutchinson. From initial purchase to product support, we are committed to delivering an ownership experience that matches the professional-level performance you’ve come to expect from AGCO®. LDI understands the agriculture industry is demanding, so we’re dedicated to providing our customers with the best quality products, parts, and services.

LDI's Kansas Impact

LDI has approximately 10,000 customers in all 105 Kansas Counties in addition to service territory in Nebraska, Iowa, and Missouri.

LDI is active in Kansas communities contributing approximately $35,000 to FFA and 4-H Scholarships, 4-H and club donations, and charities.

LDI employees travel more than 1.1 miles on Kansas roads meeting Kansas farmers where they are in the fields with equipment, parts, and service. 

LDI products and services span the entire growing cycle from planting to application to harvest and support farmers in all industry segments.

LDI shares in AGCO’s commitment to precision agriculture innovations that address sustainability with the most fuel-efficient equipment on the market.

LDI kicks off Fendt Rogator 900 Series Elevation Tour

Farmers from across the state gathered at an alfalfa field south of Salina in April to launch the North American Fendt Rogator 900 Series Elevation Tour hosted by Lang Diesel Inc. (LDI).

It can go from standard-clearance to high-clearance application in less than 45 seconds without the operator ever leaving the cap. The sprayer can also change from liquid to dry application in under two hours, optimizing the equipment's potential for return on investment.  Read More...

About Fendt 

For consumers with the highest standards, Fendt is the top high-tech brand, and it is acknowledged as a pioneer in agricultural machinery innovation. The Fendt family of products offers a comprehensive equipment lineup from tractors to planters, application, and harvest. The Fendt brand has been part of the AGCO corporation since 1997. 

Fendt has merged engineering and craftsmanship since its founding more than 90 years ago, listening to their clients and finding solutions to their challenges without compromising on quality or dependability. Fendt introduced the continuously variable transmission (CVT) in the middle of the 1990s, and continues to provide innovative solutions for farmers. Among these innovations are:

• The Dieselross F18, introduced in 1937, featured a travel-independent power-shift PTO, which meant the PTO didn’t stop when the operator stopped the tractor.
• In 1980, Fendt introduced the 300 Farmer Series, the first tractor with a four-wheel braking system and a transport speed of 25 mph (40 km/h). All-wheel braking not only increases transport safety, but provides greater stopping power when transporting heavy loads, such as a manure tanker.
• Fendt premiered the world’s first high horsepower tractor with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) stepless transmission, the 926 Vario, at Germany’s 1995 Agritechnica show. The Fendt Vario, as it was named, allows the operator to utilize the power reserves normally hidden in the areas between gears and select the perfect speed for every application.
• The Fendt 800 and 900 Vario tractors also introduced VarioGrip, the industry’s first integrated tire pressure regulation system that is adjusted from the cab. The benefits include less tire wear, lower rolling resistance, lower fuel costs, greater stability in the field and on the road, as well as the ability to minimize compaction in the field.
