MidSouth Forestry Equipment

What MidSouth Forestry Equipment does

MidSouth Forestry Equipment, LLC is a privately held forestry equipment dealer headquartered in Warren, Arkansas, operating as the premier Tigercat dealer for the Arkansas and North Louisiana territory. The company sells new and used heavy forestry machinery, including feller bunchers, skidders, log loaders, and trailers sourced from manufacturers such as Tigercat, Cummins, CSI, Pitts, Big John, Viking, and Rotobec. Its core product set spans new equipment sales, pre-owned equipment resales with prices ranging from approximately $70,000 to $350,000 per unit, parts inventory covering multiple OEM lines, and an in-shop and in-field service department.

Beyond equipment, the business operates complementary revenue streams: parts distribution for Tigercat, Cummins, CSI, Big John, and Pitts; a service and repair operation; financing facilitated through a third-party partner (GoCurrency); and timed online auctions for equipment, trucks, trailers, and attachments. The go-to-market motion is direct sales through three physical Arkansas locations (Warren, Caddo Valley, and Springfield) and an online inventory platform, with marketing primarily through the website and an active Facebook presence. Pricing is quote-based for new equipment, with used equipment listed at transparent price points and monthly payment calculations available through the financing partner.

The company serves commercial forestry and logging operations in the Southeast US, addressing their need for reliable heavy machinery, parts availability, in-field service support to minimize equipment downtime, and financing to facilitate capital purchases. In January 2025, MidSouth expanded its footprint through the acquisition of Patrick-Miller Tractor, indicating a roll-up strategy within the regional forestry equipment dealer market. Revenue, ownership, and financial metrics are not publicly disclosed.
