The legacy of Ken Burke is written in grass, dirt and a few thousand orange tractors.
As Burke prepared for an open house today at his TAG Equipment Distributors on Cherokee Boulevard, he stood on the edge of Cherokee Boulevard and leaned against a glistening orange Kubota mower in the asphalt parking lot of his tractor dealership.
In the midst of the preparations, it was a chance to acknowledge the company’s 42-year history.
The last four decades have seen a lot of change: the shop moved from across the street, the North Shore became a destination spot and things are flat out way more expensive than they used to be.
