Hey crew, I'm weighing a purchase and would love first-hand experiences with Allan Brothers Equipment. Anyone here bought through them recently? Their website is https://www.allantractor.com/ if you want to peek. They're based out of 12643 Emmens Way, Santa Fe Springs, CA, 90670 (phone (562) 561-2100). Curious how their delivery timing and post-sale support are.

I'm looking hard at a Bobcat S650 they have listed right now. Price seems almost too good, makes me a bit nervous. Following this thread to see what people say.

Grabbed a Bobcat T870 loader from them last month for the farm. Deal was pretty simple, communication was decent enough, and the machine has been solid so far. No major complaints on my end, would probably buy from them again.

I used them to buy a Cat 420F2 backhoe. Had the same worries since I'm a few states away, but I made them send me a ton of close-up photos and a 5-minute video of the machine running and cycling the buckets before I sent money. Everything showed up matching the video.

Just an update. I ended up pulling the trigger on that S650 I mentioned. Machine just rolled off the trailer and it's in great shape. Took a gamble buying sight unseen but looks like it paid off.

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

Got bobcat 50 from Allan Brothers Equipment, 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 Allan Brothers 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 Allan Brothers 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. Allan Brothers Equipment sent me all the detailed walkarounds I asked for. Delivery ended up delayed by three days because of weather, but they kept me updated instead of leaving me hanging. Machine arrived clean and runs perfect.

Also bought a DEERE 50G excavator from Allan Brothers 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 Cat 305E2 to my fleet from Allan Brothers Equipment. Pretty smooth transaction. No high-pressure sales BS, no surprise fees on the invoice. Runs great and looks surprisingly clean for the hours on it.

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.

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