Bishop And Wachholz, operating at bishopandwachholz.com, is a fraudulent online heavy equipment dealer claiming to operate a showroom at 601 8th St SE, Kasson, MN 55944 in Dodge County in southern Minnesota near Rochester. The brand name "Bishop And Wachholz" sounds like a long-established family business, but the company has no verifiable history, no BBB record, and no third-party reviews from before 2026. Buyers who send payment receive nothing.
The Bishop And Wachholz "Why Us" section accidentally says "Revolutionize your cars & trucks shopping with our secure online platform." This is a major red flag — Bishop And Wachholz claims to be a heavy equipment dealer selling Bobcat skid steers, Caterpillar excavators, and farm tractors, not cars and trucks. The leftover language reveals the site was built from a generic vehicle-dealer template and the operator forgot to update all the copy. Real dealers do not have this kind of template inconsistency.
The website advertises Bobcat skid steers (T770, E60), Caterpillar compact track loaders (259D3, 950GC, 289D), Case skid steers and excavators (SV280B, CX80C), John Deere tractors and dozers (4052R, 317G, 850K), New Holland skid steers (C337), and Kubota skid steers (SSV65) at suspiciously low prices — examples include a 2024 Bobcat T770 at $18,690, a 2023 Caterpillar 259D3 at $14,950, a 2023 Case SV280B at $14,400, a 2023 Bobcat E60 at $16,235, a 2022 New Holland C337 at $14,400, and a 2022 John Deere 4052R at $12,850. After a buyer agrees to purchase, Bishop And Wachholz demands payment by wire transfer, Zelle, ACH, or cryptocurrency. Once payment clears, the company stops responding entirely.
A buyer reported losing $12,850 to this scam after wiring funds to Bishop And Wachholz through bishopandwachholz.com. The equipment was never shipped from the claimed Kasson, MN location. Do NOT send money to bishopandwachholz.com.
