Buying and selling heavy equipment for a profit sounds simple… until you start dealing with machines that have major problems.

In this video, I take a look at some of the latest Bobcat machines I’ve bought with bad engines and break down the real costs involved in getting them repaired and ready to sell. When you're flipping equipment, a repair that looks manageable at first can quickly eat up your entire profit.

I’ll show you what I’m dealing with, what these machines can cost to repair, and why you have to be extremely careful when buying equipment with major mechanical issues.

If you’re interested in buying, repairing, and flipping heavy equipment for profit, this is a good look at the risks that come with it.
