experience with Fredricks Equip. in Hartselle, AL?

panthercoach · Mar 20, 2006

Has anyone here ever had any dealings with Fredricks Equipment in Hartselle, AL? They have a huge inventory of Yanmars and their prices are comparable to others. If so , are their implements good quality?

I have bought small parts from them. They were upfront about everything and I was happy. You are probabaly wanting to hear from someone who bought a tractor from them.

I bought a 3110D with Koyker 160 FEL, LMC (Lowery Manuf., Boaz, AL) 6' rotary cutter, Sitrex 6' finish mower, LMC 6' box blade, 12" PHD, LMC boom pole, and ROPS from Fredricks last year. They gave me a fair deal and provided parts under warranty. I found the staff to be courteous and helpful. I have put on nearly 100 hours since purchase and have had no problems with my tractor, except for two minor issues that Fredricks resolved. It also needs new brakes and new king pin bearings on the front axle, which Fredricks said they will take care of.
The Koyker is great loader for my tractor. The Sitrex FM does a better job mowing than my lawn tractor. And the LMC implements are rugged, well-built and a good value.
Overall, I am very pleased and happy with the equipment and service from Fredricks.

I have bought tractors and parts from them for several years. They have really grown. I have not had any problems with any transactions. The grey tractors are good tractors. When you move as many as they do you are sure to miss a few things ,but no more than any other importer I have dealt with.

I bought My 2310 from his dad here in KY and have had real good support both with questions and for a part if I needed it. Seems to me a good outfit that cares about their customers as much as their customers money. I for one would recommend them if you are looking.

You wont find a better dealer than Fredericks importing in the whole country. I deal with them all the time,and they stand behind everything they sell 100%

I've heard nothing but good things too. Their prices are fair, products are good and customers who bought tractors are happy...

Hey Cord, how'd those $500. hubs work out for ya' /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif?? Been waiting to see pictures of your little turbo'd version Yanmar.

The hubs will work out just GREAT! I grabbed some rims from the junk yard. I don't even know what they were off of. It was a front drive Chrysler, but there wasn't much left of it. Torched most of the center out of them and then broke the spot welds that held the center part in. This gave me the outer ring of the rim. I drew up the plate for the bolt pattern and rim diameter. I then had a fabrication shop cut the drawing out on their robotic plasma cutter. The plate just needs to be welded in and I'll have a new set of rims for my little 1110. The strange thing about your hubs is that they have only one bolt that snugs the hub to the axle where as my stock ones have two. Other than that, they are identical.
