What buyers say

Cold start, no excuses — 5★

Asked for a dead-cold morning start on an older dozer. They obliged, it lit right off, and I bought it. Honest as the day is long.

Owner-operator prices, as-is terms — 4★

You're buying honest old iron, not warranties. Knew that going in, paid accordingly, and my backhoe has earned its keep since.

They let my mechanic crawl everything — 5★

Spent three hours under a 410 with my wrench. Nobody rushed us, nobody hid anything. That's how as-is should work.

Rough lot, real deals — 4★

The yard is mud and gravel and the office is a trailer — and the excavator I hauled out was the best money I've spent this year.

Told me what it needed before I asked — 5★

Listed every known issue on a legal pad and taped it to the glass. Priced the dozer below book because of it. Bought on the spot.
