Peterson Machinery Co., the authorized Caterpillar dealer for Oregon and southern Washington, is pleased to announce recent inventory expansions at its Cat Rental Stores in Klamath Falls, Medford, Redmond, and Springfield. Effective immediately, customers can rent quality lawn and garden equipment through the Cat Rental Store.

In response to increased customer demand for lawn and garden equipment, The Cat Rental Store’s inventory has been expanded to include 13HP rear-tine Barreto tillers for initial soil turning and preparation, Bluebird thatchers to remove dead stems and roots that can build up on the surface of the soil, aerators to manage soil compaction and drainage, and log splitters, stump grinders, and sod cutters from other top brands.

“Homeowners and landscape contractors now have landscaping offerings from skid steers to tractors to sod cutters and stump grinders to choose from,” said Rich Bolen, General Manager of Peterson Machinery’s Rental Division. "We noticed an increased demand for this equipment, so we expanded our inventory to meet our customers’ needs.”
