    Hello! I'm looking at a CAT 305 Mini Excavator and came across what looks like a solid offer from BuildPower Heavy Equipment on https://buildpowerheavyequipment.com/ The site looks good, but I'm cautious about buying without seeing the machine in person. The unit is about 1,170 miles away and the seller suggests arranging shipping to me. Has anyone here purchased heavy equipment from BuildPower Heavy Equipment or from another online dealer? I’d appreciate any real-world experiences, what to watch for, and tips that helped your transaction go smoothly. Thanks in advance!

    We purchased a Bobcat T870 skid steer through BuildPower Heavy Equipment for our landscaping business. The team was easy to work with and answered all our questions honestly. Shipping took a little longer than planned, but communication was solid and transparent. The machine arrived clean, well-maintained, and ready to work. We’ve been using it daily with no issues at all.

    I bought a used Kubota excavator for my small construction projects, and overall the experience was very positive. Before purchasing, they sent me multiple photos and videos showing the machine running, which gave me confidence. There delivery was pretty fast. Once it arrived, the machine was exactly as described and has been working great ever since.

The BuildPower Heavy Equipment team's professionalism and meticulous attention to detail made the entire buying process smooth and stress-free.

    Our company recently ordered a 2016 Kubota SVL95 from BuildPower Heavy Equipment, opting for the purchase despite the inability to inspect the equipment in person. BuildPower Heavy Equipment provided us with confidence in the skid steer's excellent condition. The team facilitated a hassle-free and straightforward process, managing the shipment coordination and offering post-sale follow-ups.
