Hey everyone, I’m Rob in Chesapeake, VA. I’m a recently retired Marine, a father, and someone who has spent a lot of time around equipment, land work, and practical projects. I grew up on a small farm in Maryland and now run Yard Patriots, focused on American-made equipment and attachments. I joined because I enjoy learning from people who actually put tractors and implements to work, and I’m especially interested in the real-world side of setup, maintenance, and what ends up being worth owning long term. Glad to be here and looking forward to learning from the group.

Welcome Rob. You should probably upgrade to Vendor Membership so others here know.
Nice website for Yard Patriots. Maybe think about a small discount for OTT members?
I know margins are slim these days but it doesn't hurt to ask.

I am wondering -
P.O. Box only, no brick and mortar. The address on the website is actually the local US Post Office. Owners residential address from D&B Business Directory looks undeveloped on Google Earth.
Searched BEFCO, Prime Attachments, and Power Dog websites for Dealers and Yard Patriot does not come up for any of them. Ignite Attachments does not list Yard Patriot as a reseller.
I'd like to believe this is a real business - Rob please prove me wrong.

I had the same concern, so I did some research.
I called BEFCO, and spoke to someone on the sales team in Rocky Mount N.C. She confirmed that Yard Patriot was a licensed dealer and that he (Rob, or Sam) bought from them frequently. She said that it was entirely e -commerce. I'm glad this is legit.
Although it seems like you would lose many of the benefits you'd get from a local dealer by buying online.
