FAE announces Dobbs Equipment as exclusive PT tracked carrier dealer in Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina

FAE USA is pleased to announce that Dobbs Equipment is now the exclusive dealer of FAE PT tracked carriers in Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina, with additional distribution in Alabama. This latest step in the partnership builds on an established relationship between the two companies in which Dobbs Equipment has carried FAE’s full line of forestry and vegetation management attachments for years. Both FAE USA and Dobbs Equipment have expressed their excitement about the new opportunities that this agreement will create, and they look forward to bringing these powerful machines to customers in the southeastern United States. Commenting on the arrangement, Tom DuRant, FAE PT Territory Manager Southeast, said, “FAE and Dobbs have worked together and supported each other over the years in various capacities. By taking this next step in the partnership, we can both unlock our full potential towards mutual growth.”

Dobbs Equipment is an authorized, full-service John Deere and Wirtgen Group dealer serving the Southeast. The company supports a wide range of industries, including the land management, industrial, and construction sectors, with applications spanning residential, site development, and road construction. Since becoming a certified FAE dealer following its acquisition of Flint Equipment in 2022, Dobbs Equipment has built a strong and productive relationship with FAE, rooted in a shared commitment to quality products and customer service. Of their work with FAE, Augusto Salles, Dobbs Equipment Vice President of Corporate Sales and Marketing, said, “We pride ourselves in representing the industry leaders in everything we do here, starting with John Deere. We feel the same way about FAE. We want to represent brands that our customers feel confident in: brands that stand behind their equipment. “

FAE PT tracked carriers rank among the largest, most powerful machines in the company’s forestry and land management lineup. Ranging from 188 to 536 hp, these purpose-built machines are designed to tackle the toughest jobs, with the capability to efficiently process standing vegetation of up to 20 inches in diameter. With an oscillating undercarriage and a low ground pressure of only 5.8 psi, FAE PTs excel on uneven and challenging terrain, including swampy ground and steep slopes. This makes them the perfect solution for large-scale land-clearing, fuel reduction for wildfire prevention, and right-of-way clearing and maintenance. Of the PT tracked carrier line, DuRant said, “The PT is a remarkable piece of equipment and is unmatched in what it does. Every minor detail of this machine is engineered with operator comfort, serviceability, and productivity in mind.”

With the addition of FAE’s PT line, Dobbs Equipment further expands the range of solutions it offers its customers. Highlighting the opportunities created by the new arrangement, Danny Stern, Dobbs Equipment Allied Sales Manager, said, “It’s going to open up opportunities for us with land management contractors who prefer a purpose-built product. Vegetation management is their core business. Without the FAE product, we probably don’t have the opportunity to work with those customers.” Whether for government or large-scale land clearing firms or for contractors looking to take their operations to the next level, FAE and Dobbs Equipment are ready to clear the way for more effective, profitable vegetation management.

FAE USA CEO Giorgio Carera left us with some final words: “The partnership between FAE and Dobbs represents the coming together of two organizations that share the same commitment to quality, customer support, and long-term success. It is a true three-way partnership between FAE, Dobbs, and our customers. Dealers and customers are our greatest assets, and by working together, we create lasting relationships that drive growth, profitability, and success for all parties involved. Our goal is not simply to sell equipment, but to build partnerships that deliver value and support for years to come.”
