JESCO Supplies Equipment for Trump
National Golf Club
JESCO, one of New Jersey's construction equipment dealerships,
announced that The Trump Organization has purchased a variety of John Deere equipment to aid in the
development of Trump National Golf Club, in Bedminster, N.J.
The Trump Organization is adding an additional 18 holes to the course,
bringing the total number of holes to 36. This project is under an

three John Deere machines from JESCO including an 850 LGP dozer with
ripper, a 270D excavator, the first D series excavator sold in New
Jersey and a 624J wheel loader. Trump is also currently renting an
additional John Deere 850J dozer from JESCO.

responsiveness and professionalism have set them apart from their
competitors," states Donald Trump, of The Trump Organization. "JESCO has
made a great impact on this project due to the service they provide."
