What buyers say

Drove up from Ocala, left a believer — 5★

Checked the yard in person before committing to a Kubota SVL75. Real machines, real sign on US-1, and the unit matched its listing photos exactly. Paperwork was done before I finished my coffee.

IRON+ made a remote deal possible — 5★

Bought a Takeuchi TL8 from the Panhandle without seeing it first. The 30-day return window in writing is what got me over the line — never needed it, the machine was right.

Excavator delivered to Fort Myers on schedule — 5★

CAT 305.5 came down on a step-deck exactly when dispatch said it would. Freight number was quoted up front and never moved.

Taxes really were included — 5★

Price on the listing was the price on the invoice. After two other dealers stacked fees at signing, that honesty closed the deal on my skid steer.

Great backhoe, pickup window slipped a day — 4★

The 420F itself is strong and was exactly as described. Load-out ran a day behind their estimate, but they called ahead and had it staged when I arrived.

Second unit this year — 5★

Added a telehandler to go with the mini ex I bought in the spring. Same clean process both times — serials on the invoice, wire details verified by phone, machine dispatched fast.

Video walkaround sealed it — 5★

Asked for a cold start and full function test on camera before wiring. Got a ten-minute video the same afternoon. The dozer runs exactly like it did in the footage.

Treated a small landscaper like a fleet account — 5★

One-truck operation here. They still walked me through financing, found a compact track loader in budget, and had it in Sarasota inside two weeks.

Honest hour meter, verified — 5★

Ran the serial with my mechanic before buying — hours and history lined up with the listing. That kind of transparency is rare in used iron.

Antonia Greaves · Apr 30, 2026

Trailer and mini ex, one clean invoice — 5★

Bundled a 14k trailer with the excavator and both showed up together. One wire, one document set, zero surprises.

Emory Stackhouse · Apr 17, 2026

Appointment visit was easy — 5★

Called ahead, got a time, and the machine was warmed up on the pad when I pulled in. No lot games, no pressure — bought the wheel loader that day.

Shipping to Georgia handled start to finish — 5★

They arranged the hauler, sent the driver's number, and the skid steer landed at my shop near Valdosta two days after payment cleared.
