Anyone here ever done any business with Lano Equipment in Minnesota? I am from northern Arkansas and have them working on a quote for me on a skidsteer and a couple of attachments. It is a 12 hour drive for me to go up there and I need everything to be as they say, and I am hoping they will stand by their word and equipment. Any opinions?

Never done business with them but they are the biggest in Mn to my knowledge
If you looking at something used get some good detailed photos of the actual unit from them.
Not that I think they would try something shady, but some used machines are badly rusted from Mn. Especially if they were trailered around in the winter months doing snow removal. I've seen cabs rusted right out from the road salt spray behind a pickup. A sure sign is swelling between the layers of steel (side of cab above the window screens)
Ask if the paint is original, or touched up, or new? That can be your first clue.
Just my $.02
