Here's the reality: manufacturing any piece of equipment requires significant resources and energy. The environmental impact of producing a new machine is substantial—from raw material extraction to manufacturing to shipping. The most sustainable choice? Make machines as simply as possible using common parts available locally. By designing equipment that: Lasts longer before needing replacement Can be repaired rather than scrapped Uses commonly available parts instead of proprietary components Doesn't become obsolete due to software updates or electronic failures ...we're helping reduce the total number of machines that need to be manufactured, shipped, and eventually disposed of. That's why we support the Right to Repair movement. Our Sustainability Commitment Longevity Over Novelty We won't add complex features that compromise reliability just to look innovative. Every component in our machines earns its place by contributing to performance and durability. Final Assembly in America We complete final assembly at our Des Moines, Iowa headquarters, using quality components and rigorous testing to ensure each machine meets our standards. Parts Availability As much as possible, we design our machines using components readily available in the marketplace. You shouldn't have to wait weeks for a proprietary part that only we can supply. Transparency About Our Approach We're honest about our supply chain. We collaborate with manufacturing partners globally to create efficient, practical, and reliable products—then we complete assembly and quality control in the U.S. The Bottom Line Sustainability in equipment isn't about marketing buzzwords. It's about building machines that work hard, last long, and can be kept running by the people who own them. That's equipment you can count on. That's equipment built to last. That's Erixon.

We're excited to announce three new additions to the Erixon Equipment X-Line—machines that represent everything we stand for: straightforward design, reliable performance, and equipment you can actually maintain yourself. Whether you're running a farm operation, managing a construction site, or handling materials in tight spaces, these three machines deliver serious capability without the complexity and cost of overengineered alternatives. X-245L Compact Wheel Loader : Full Power, Compact Package in the X-Line Machine The X-245L proves you don't need a massive machine to get real work done. This compact wheel loader delivers 2,650 lb load capacity and 11 GPM of hydraulic flow in a package that's easy to transport and maneuver—but don't let the size fool you. What makes it different: 66" wide tire base  provides exceptional stability that competitors' narrower machines simply can't match on slopes and uneven ground Newly redesigned Rexroth/Bosch hydrostatic drive system  with tandem pump configuration delivers increased torque, quieter operation, and cooler running temperatures Tilting cab design  gives you maintenance access in minutes, not hours—because your time matters No DEF, no regen, no computer complexity —just reliable mechanical systems you can understand and service The X-245L uses a skid steer hydraulic quick attach system, which means you can run your existing attachments. It's designed for agriculture, construction, and material handling operations where space is tight but demands are high. Compact Power. Full Capability. X-75S Skid Steer : Radial Lift Performance for Serious Work When you need serious lifting power with excellent reach, the X-75S delivers. Built with a 74 HP Cummins diesel engine and professional-grade Rexroth/Bosch hydrostatic drive, this radial lift skid steer is designed for demanding jobs across agriculture, construction, and material handling. What makes it different: 2,200 lb capacity with radial lift geometry  optimized for excellent reach at full height—ideal for loading trucks and high-sided equipment 31.7 GPM high-flow hydraulics with momentary boost  powers the most demanding attachments Climate-controlled cab with integrated camera system  means comfortable, safe operation in any season Pilot-operated ISO controls  provide precise, responsive operation that reduces operator fatigue during long shifts Like all our equipment, the X-75S is built with accessible service points and straightforward mechanical design. You'll spend less time on maintenance and more time getting work done. X-25S MINI Skid Steer : Big Capability in a Small Package At just 36 inches wide, the X-25S fits through standard doorways and operates in spaces where larger equipment simply won't work—but it doesn't compromise on performance. What makes it different: 1,325 lb load capacity  in an ultra-compact footprint that accesses residential properties, indoor work areas, and tight job sites 16.5 GPM high-flow hydraulics  delivers professional-grade power for demanding attachments despite the compact size Track-driven design  provides superior traction and low ground pressure—perfect for finished surfaces and soft ground where wheeled machines struggle Fold-down safety stand and LED work lights  show attention to operator safety and productivity The X-25S is ideal for landscaping, indoor construction and renovation, greenhouse operations, and any application where space is limited but capability still matters. The Erixon Difference All three of these machines share the same philosophy that drives everything we build: Simplicity over complexity.  We design equipment that operators understand and technicians can service with common tools and readily available parts. Reliability over gimmicks.  We focus on proven mechanical systems rather than adding electronics that fail in harsh environments. Your ownership, your control.  When you buy Erixon equipment, it's truly yours. No proprietary software locks, no subscription requirements, no forced dealer dependencies. Every machine comes with our industry-leading 3-year parts warranty  and is backed by real people who know your name and your business. We're a privately owned family business, not beholden to stock market pressures—which means we can prioritize the support our dealers and customers actually need. Ready to See The Machines in Action? These three machines are available to test drive now at our headquarters in Des Moines, IA, and will soon be available through our growing dealer network. Whether you need the versatile power of the X-245L, the serious lifting capability of the X-75S, or the compact versatility of the X-25S, we've got equipment built for real work. Find a dealer near you  or contact us directly  to learn more about how these machines can improve your operation. Because at Erixon Equipment, we believe the best machine is the one that works when you need it, costs less to maintain, and lasts longer than the competition. Growing Together, Always.
