Stu Merkamp

Consumer Account Manager

Stu's career began at another John Deere dealer that later retired and was purchased by Koenig Equipment, giving him 28 years of experience in the industry. Along the way he has completed years of field, classroom, and online training, along with hands-on work across a wide variety of Lawn and Grounds Care and Small Agricultural Equipment.

Stu is originally from Wayne County, where he still has many relatives in the area. Outside of work, he enjoys spending time with his family, especially his recent grandkids, and working in his garden and yard.

Customer-First Approach

Stu's approach starts with listening. He takes the time to understand what a customer actually needs before making a suggestion, drawing on decades of field, classroom, and hands-on training that most in the industry simply don't have. That depth of knowledge means customers leave with equipment that truly fits the job.


One of his most common pieces of advice:
“Make sure the purchase fills your needs.”

In the Field

Stu's 28 years of experience show up in how quickly he can solve a problem. When a customer's mower went down and left him behind on mowing, Stu worked with Koenig's Service Department to get him into a new John Deere S240 mower within 24 hours — a turnaround that genuinely surprised the customer. Another customer, Larry, who runs a local mowing service, had grown tired of constantly repairing two non-John Deere units. After switching to two Z960M Zero Turns and a Q865R Series Stander through Stu, Larry hasn't been back in for repairs and tells Stu regularly how much he loves his Q865R.


  • Fast turnaround when equipment goes down and customers need a solution
  • Deep, decades-long product knowledge across the John Deere lineup
  • Trusted by repeat commercial mowing customers

“My favorite part is when a customer is truly satisfied with their purchase.”
