Man charged after stealing track loader from northeast Nebraska business, deputies say
LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) – A man is facing a single charge after stealing a track loader from a northeast Nebraska business, according to court documents.
Adam Brodahl, 36, was taken into custody after a woman said he refused pay her for a track loader she sold to him last year.
On Sept. 4, authorities learned that the woman had attempted to sell a track loader she was no longer using back to Kubota. The woman said she was referred to Brodahl as a potential rent-to-own buyer and sold the track loader to him, according to his arrest affidavit.
Brodahl and the woman created a contract that agreed to him making payments of $972.44 a month from May 2023 to October 2023, court documents stated.
It was made known to deputies that Brodahl was making the monthly payments until October, when she did not receive the agreed amount from him. When the victim tried to contact him asking for the monthly payment, he reportedly ignored phone calls and text messages.
When the victim finally received a response back, documents allege Brodahl demanded that if she wanted to get the track loader back, she needed to pay him $8,000, the deputy wrote.
According to court documents, the victim stated she was going pay Brodahl if he agreed to meet in a public area with the loader, but he did not respond to her. She then reported the loader as stolen.
Brodahl was charged with theft of unlawful taking of $5,000 or more, a class 2A felony. He is booked in Madison County Jail.
His arraignment is not scheduled at this time.

Nebraska released the volleyball schedule for the 2025 season earlier this week. The Huskers finished the 2024 season with a 33-3 record. They also won the Big Ten title with a 19-1 conference mark.
They entered the NCAA Tournament as the third overall seed, making it all the way to the semifinals before falling to eventual national champion Penn State.
One of the key storylines for this season will be new coach Dani Busboom Kelly. She took over in January 2025, following the retirement of legendary coach John Cook. Now, Nebraska volleyball will begin a new era.
The Huskers kick off the season on Friday, Aug. 22, when they host the Pitt Panthers at Pinnacle Bank Arena as part of the AVCA First Serve Showcase. They start Big Ten play against the Michigan Wolverines on Wednesday, Sep. 24, in Lincoln, Nebraska. They close the 2025 season on Nov. 29 at home against Ohio State.
The program looks poised for another major run in 2025, but will have to try to replace All-Americans Lexi Rodriguez and Merritt Beason. Things will look a bit different on the sidelines without Cook, but the program should be in good hands with a new head coach, and most of last season’s starters are returning.
