Southern Loggin’ Times magazine Managing Editor David Abbott visits Keithville, Louisiana’s Philibert Timber Company, Inc. Gary Philibert, 63, owner of Philibert Timber Co., Inc., recently had his old John Deere 848H machine completely rebuilt under Deere’s “ReLife” program, through dealer Doggett Machinery in Monroe. The Monroe branch does the rebuilds, but Philibert normally buys from the Shreveport location; Doggett’s Robert Reeves, who oversees the ReLife program in Monroe, handled the process. At Doggett’s Shreveport branch, where Philibert has bought most of his machines, Junior Littleton was his salesman before Littleton moved on to become used equipment manager for all Doggett stores. “He can’t really sell to me anymore, so he put me in touch with Robert because the Monroe store does these rebuilds,” Philibert reveals.
