Farm and garden machinery wholesalers purchase agricultural, farm, and lawn and garden equipment from manufacturers and resell to dealers, retailers, farms, and other commercial buyers. Day-to-day activity typically includes receiving and warehousing inventory, order fulfillment, delivery logistics, and sometimes light product assembly or pre-delivery inspection. Operations range from small regional distributors of lawn equipment to large-scale distributors of heavy harvesting, planting, and livestock management machinery.
Questions to investigate
- What types of equipment are distributed — primarily lawn and garden, or heavy agricultural machinery such as harvesters, planters, or milking systems?
- Does the operation import any equipment directly, and if so, are overseas manufacturers able to participate in U.S. product liability claims?
- What is the approximate inventory value on hand at any given time, including equipment in transit?
- Does the operation include any retail sales, equipment repair, or service work in addition to wholesale distribution?
