Hey crew, I'm lining up a compact track loader purchase and would love first-hand experiences with Peterson Heavy Equipment. Anyone here bought through them recently? I'm comparing a few listings - photos and specs look solid. Their website is https://petersonheavy.com if you want to peek. They're based out of 755 Big Ben Rd, Lincoln, CA 95648 (phone 916-655-0650). Curious how their delivery timing and post-sale support are.

Bought a Bobcat T870 loader from Peterson Heavy Equipment for farm work. Simple process, good communication, and solid equipment. Would buy again.

Same here, picked up a Caterpillar 420F2 Loader from Peterson. Their website is petersonheavy.com and phone 916 655 0650. Very happy with my purchase. They sent detailed photos and a running video before delivery. Everything matched what was shown.

Asked them about hydraulic settings and they actually got back pretty quick and even called to explain it. Ended up buying a Bobcat S650. Deal went through without issues and they checked in after, which I didn't expect.

Not bad, not perfect. Had to follow up once to get a delivery update, but everything worked out fine.

Got bobcat 50 from Peterson, machine is as described. Works like a charm. But communication could be better.

I just found these guys. They have a Kubota BX23 for a really good price. They said it’s from an auction. Do they give any warranty for engine, hydr?

Overall, a decent experience. They answered my questions, but responses were a bit slow at times. The machine arrived as described, although delivery was one day late. I'm Happy.

Bought equipment from Peterson Heavy Equipment for my farm. The machine does exactly what I need and was priced fairly.

Had a small delay with shipping, but the team at Peterson Heavy Equipment handled it well. They answered calls and messages every time. Kubota SVL75-2 arrived and has been working great since day one.

This was my first time buying heavy equipment remotely, so I was a bit nervous. Peterson Heavy Equipment sent detailed photos and videos and stayed responsive throughout the process.

Delivery was delayed by a few days, but they kept me updated and followed through on everything they promised. The equipment arrived in excellent condition and has been performing very well.

Also bought a DEERE 50G excavator from Peterson Heavy Equipment. Straightforward and easy deal. The machine works as expected and was clean on arrival. Shipping took a 1 day longer, but they kept me updated. The driver is really good guy. No complaints at all.

Added a CATERPILLAR 305E2 from Peterson Heavy Equipment. Really smooth deal. No pressure, no surprises. The excavator runs great and looks clean for its age.

Picked up a John Deere 310SL backhoe. What showed up matched the photos, so no complaints there.

Yeah, they give a 1-year warranty on it. They’re a family business and buy their equipment from auctions-they’re really good at what they do.

I was trying to buy a tractor from them, but it sold within a day. asked them to keep it for me...

Everything went fine, just wish there was a bit more communication during the process.
