Russo Welcomes QC Power Equipment Team as Founders Retire

Honoring a Legacy of Family Service in the Quad Cities

Russo is proud to announce the integration of QC Power Equipment into its Davenport location, honoring years of exceptional service to the Quad Cities community. Vicki and Steve Cutforth are retiring and have entrusted Russo Outdoor Power Plus to continue the legacy they built.

Starting in November, QC Power Equipment's dedicated team and loyal customers have joined Russo's existing Davenport branch at 5401 N Brady St, Davenport, IA 52806. The transition ensures continuity of the trusted brands, extensive selection, and personalized service that Quad Cities professionals and landowners have come to rely on.

For 15 years, Vicki and Steve Cutforth owned and operated QC Power Equipment in the Quad Cities, building a reputation throughout Davenport for friendly, knowledgeable staff and unwavering commitment to meeting individual customer needs. The Cutforths built their dealership on hard work, focused attention, and genuine care—earning a long list of satisfied customers. As a respected Toro dealer, they established QC Power as a trusted name where personalized service and expert guidance were always the priority.

"Vicki and Steve built QC Power Equipment on the same values that guide us—hard work, integrity, and putting people first," said Michael Kolowski of Russo Power Equipment. "We're honored they've chosen Russo to carry forward their legacy and excited to welcome their talented team into our family."

This transition brings together two family-owned businesses united by shared values and a commitment to the Quad Cities community. Customers will continue to receive the same trusted, individualized service they've counted on—now backed by Russo's expanded inventory, parts support, and industry experience. Russo looks forward to continuing QC Power's tradition of supporting local professionals, businesses, and community organizations throughout the region.

"We congratulate Vicki and Steve on their well-earned retirement," added Kolowski. "Their legacy lives on through the relationships they've built and the team that will continue serving the Quad Cities."
