Prentice 210D Log Loader (Self-Propelled)

Just unloaded my new Prentice 210D at the job site. It was a pleasure doing business with Joe Ferrazzano at Lumbermens. Get up with him if you look to buy any forestry equipment.

No longer have to take all tire kicker calls!

After 8 months of having Mark bring any dozer he thought I might like to me. I decided to list my older dozer for sale with him. I asked him to cover my phone number on the side of the dozer so I wasn't getting calls. He takes care of it all. Low ball, offers and buyer's that aren't serious or can't buy. After getting him pictures he called to got a good description and since then I've had to do very little. Other than answer a few questions that potential buyers have. Mark makes it so easy and after purchasing a dozer through him and Lumbermens for $133,000.00 I know he'll take care of everything and get me my money quickly and easily when he sells it!

Cheapest Prices!

I called looking for a Franklin skidder and everyone I called including friends had them priced way above market value. I decided to give these guys a try and they blew away my expectations. Thanks Lumbermens!

Very Reliable! Great working w Joe at Lumbermens!

I started chatting with Joe on Facebook, about a cutter he posted on there, that was in my price range, not too far from me. He arranged things so I could go check out the machine before wiring any money. Saw the machine, was in good conditions, just as he described in the post. No problems there with Joe. Reliable!

First called on one of Mark’s machines over 8 months ago!

First called on one of Mark’s machines over 8 months ago!

I needed a good forestry dozer. The listing I called on had already sold. Mark Laxton was the listing broker and I swear he sent 1-2 machines almost every month until he found exactly what I needed! We went through Cat 517's 527's D4H's and D5H TSK grapple dozer with winch. Finally Mark had a 700K forestry dozer come through, after helping work the price down a but I was able to make it mine! I like the way Mark works so much I listed my 650G dozer for sale with him!

Couldn’t be happier w/ Austin!

Couldn’t be happier w/ Austin!

I met Austin Woods at the Paul Bunyan Tradeshow in Ohio. At the time I was desperately looking for a S&W sawmill which since going out of business in the early 2000’s made them increasingly difficult to find. A few weeks later Austin gave me a call and let me know he had found a S&W mill only a few hours from me, he got me multiple videos of it operating and made me feel comfortable enough to buy the mill sight unseen. I sent payment on a Friday afternoon, and received the mill on Monday morning. I have been running it for months now and couldn’t be happier I am planning on buying a edger soon and will only go through Austin from now on!

2nd excellent sight unseen machine!

2nd excellent sight unseen machine!

This is the second machine I've bought through Mark Laxton at Lumbermens. Been pleased with the condition as representation of both when they've arrived as well! This Timbco 445EXL is perfect for expanding my operation!

321 Hydro ax

I was in good hands!

I called Austin Woods after our 321 Hydro ax feller buncher burned to the ground, it was a rough time for our company and we knew these machines weren’t easy to come by. I reached out to Austin and told him what I wanted and how much I could spend, a week later Austin called me and told me he found another 321 Hydro ax about 6 hours from me, but due to how busy we got I really couldn’t find the time to go look at it. I have been burned by a broker before so I was very weary of buying something sight unseen. Austin had a certified Cat mechanic in the area and pulled some strings to get a inspection done at half the regular cost. After getting the report back, I saw that everything checked out and realized I was in good hands. I received the machine within a couple days and it has been running daily. I decided then that I would make Austin my go to guy.

Timberjack 230 D Forwarder

I called Ted after viewing his 230 D forwarder in their magazine. He told me the condition of the machine, represented it honestly. He sent me pictures andII got to talk to the seller. The forwarder was delivered to my location and all was as represented. This was a very easy buying process for a machine. I plan to sell some of my equipment through Lumbermen's

I saw Joe’s post on FB about an old Timberjack in very good shape. He arranged the visit for me to go check the machine. He gave me an extremely good deal and the transaction went smooth, no problems whatsoever. Good guy and made me feel comfortable with the whole process

$179,000.00 648H Sight Unseen

Hey Mark, it's here! I'd just like to say thank you for a great buying experience. I'll say, I've never done anything like this. This was my first sight unseen purchase. I'll admit that I was very anxious. However, everything went smoothly thanks to your professional manner. The skidder was well represented, a fair price, and delivered on time. I've bought equipment before that didn't go so well and I've dealt with people in the past that had only one care. Thanks again and I'm sure we'll do future business

Excellent Customer Service by Joe

I saw one of Joe’s posts on Facebook for an old CAT cable skidder that seemed to be way cheap. I called him and he arranged with owners that I could go see it at night, when the owners weren’t even around. He made it happen. I checked out the machine, it was in excellent conditions, wired him the money the next day. Machine was described correctly, no surprises

I wired money sight unseen and was happy when I received the machine as described 28 hours later!!

I called Mark Laxton after viewing his 540B cable skidder listing on Craigslist. He told me the condition of the machine, represented it honestly, and emailed me of a video of the machine. He then walked me through viewing him and his company online. I was able to look at a digital copy of their magazine online, see a picture of him, view another listing for the machine I was interested in, and know exactly who I was dealing with. This was the easiest buying process for a machine I have ever gone through!

I called the Lumbermens to sell my equipment and it was the easiest experience I've ever gone through. I won't go anywhere else. On top of that they found the skidder i was looking for, at the fraction of the cost of any dealer.

Haven’t been disappointed

Haven’t been disappointed

I have been regularly buying Clark grapple skidders from Austin Woods for the past 4 years, I am in Mexico and a lot of loggers run these around here. I have yet to go and look at a skidder before buying it from him and haven’t been disappointed to this day. There are a lot of untrustworthy brokers out there that tell you one thing and send you another. I am happy to say Austin is not one of them.
