Sutter Equipment Company - trail equipment specialists since 1986. We are currently a number one Trail Dozer manufacturer in the world! Sutter Equipment has sold hundreds of Trail Dozers, starting with the Sweco models that we designed and had manufactured for us, and now the Sutter models that we manufacture at our Nevada plant - a claim that no other company can make. It all started in 1986, when our previous owner, John Mueller, created and designed the Pacific Crawler trail maintenance machine, which was marketed primarily to rental yards. After meeting with representatives of the U.S. Forest Service who requested certain modifications, the 450 Trail Dozer evolved and came into being in 1991. John arranged to have the 450 Trail Dozer manufactured for him by a local fabrication company in Sutter, California and he chose to call it the Sweco 450. In 1996, the Trail Dozer was further improved and the model 480 Trail Dozer was launched.
