Anybody heard of Bison equipment? Looks like they are a Mexico organization, but claim they have an office in Oklahoma. Can't seem to find any dealers or where I could get replacement parts though.

They do indeed seem to be located in Mexico but not speaking Spanish I couldn't navigate their site: http://www.bison.com.mx/ It is possible they had a US source which discontinued support. There may be some bargains to be had or you could end up stuck with a lack of repair parts.

Never heard of them till your post. After reading the other replies I surfed the net and found out TECNOMEC AGRICOLA, S.A. DE C.V. (the mfg. of Bison equip.) acquired GARFIELD EQUIPMENT, INC (LINK HERE). So NIW's link to Garfield Equipment (owned by Bison) is likely the office in Oklahoma.

I don't see your average loader having an awful lot of proprietary parts. Is there something wrong with it?

The only thing wrong with it is that I didn't jump on the smoking deal for one and while I was trying to figure out who Bison equpment is...somebody else bought it.

$500 for a complete loader. F me.
