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 Heavy Equipment. Very happy with my purchase. They sent detailed photos and a running video before delivery. Everything matched what was shown.

For anyone wondering about communication: I asked about hydraulic flow settings for a mulcher and got a reply within the hour, plus a call to walk me through the menu.

I also bought a Bobcat from them, the S650, and had a smooth transaction. They were very helpful throughout the process and even followed up with me afterwards.

Thanks for sharing your experiences, everyone. It sounds like Peterson Heavy Equipment is a trustworthy company. I'm considering purchasing a Bobcat A300. Does anyone have any experience with that model?

Ordered a used Kubota excavator through Peterson Heavy Equipment. Delivery was a bit delayed, but they stayed in touch and explained everything. In the end, the machine showed up in great condition and works perfectly.

Went with a Bobcat E50 mini. Peterson Heavy Equipment handled e-sign paperwork and arranged a delivery window that actually stuck. Everything was handled professionally. The machine runs great.

Ordered a John Deere 6220 tractor from Peterson Heavy Equipment and it's been a great addition to our work. Communication was clear, paperwork was simple, and delivery went fine.

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. 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 after spotting it on Peterson Heavy Equipment. Happy with the purchase. The equipment was exactly as shown in the photos and videos.

Everything went smooth from start to finish. The T770 skid steer was clean and ready to work when it arrived.

Bought a machine from Peterson Heavy Equipment for my small business. Runs great and hasn't given us any trouble. Overall a very positive experience.

Just chiming in to add my recommendation. Peterson Heavy Equipment delivered exactly what was advertised, on schedule, and the after-sale support has been excellent. Will be a repeat buyer.
