What buyers say

Passed my five checks in one afternoon — 5★

Sunbiz filing, SR-70 yard on satellite, live phone answer, photographed inventory with real prices, published guarantee. Ran the whole list in an hour, drove out the next week, bought the backhoe.

Video proof before payment — 5★

Serial plate, hour meter, cold crank, every function cycled — filmed on the actual machine the morning I asked. That ten-minute video is the difference between a dealer and a listing.

Celestine Hobbs · Sep 16, 2026

Skid steer to Valdosta, clean paper trail — 5★

Quote, invoice, bill of sale, freight confirmation — all from the dealer's own domain, all matching. The wire went to the registered LLC. Machine arrived two days later as described.

Thurman Oakes · Sep 3, 2026

Staged and warmed for my appointment — 5★

Called Tuesday, visited Thursday. Both machines on my shortlist were staged side by side, warmed up, keys in. Cycled everything, picked one, signed in the office. That's how a yard should run.

Winifred Talbot · Aug 22, 2026

Right machine, busy phone week — 4★

Took two days to get a callback during what they said was their end-of-month rush. Everything after that was crisp — written quote, honest condition notes, smooth delivery to Okeechobee.

Maximo Villareal · Aug 9, 2026

The guarantee is not decoration — 5★

Elected a return inside the 30-day window when my contract fell through. Transport back to Arcadia covered, refund in full, no restocking fee, no guilt trip. Published terms, honored terms.

Lettie Mackey · Jul 28, 2026

Tax-included number held to the penny — 5★

The listing price was the invoice price. My accountant asked twice where the 'dealer fees' line was. There wasn't one.

Rollie Dunagan · Jul 15, 2026

Straight answers on an older excavator — 5★

Asked about undercarriage life and got percentage estimates with photos, not 'runs great.' Bought it knowing exactly what I was getting and budgeted accordingly. No surprises since.

Eulalia Brandt · Jul 2, 2026

Fast lane to I-75 kept freight cheap — 5★

Hauler loaded on SR-70 and was on the interstate in twenty minutes. Freight to Macon came in under every competing quote because the deadhead math works at this yard.

Porter Ellingson · Jun 19, 2026

Ranch tractor bought in a morning — 5★

Called at eight about a loader tractor, saw it at ten, paperwork done by noon. Family operation feel with corporate-grade documents. Exactly what buying iron should be.
