Dakota Outdoor Power Equipment, operating at dakotaoutdoorpowerequipment.com, is a fraudulent online heavy equipment dealer. The brand name references the Dakotas, and the phone area code (605) matches South Dakota — but the listed physical address is 4425 Madisonville Rd, Hopkinsville, KY 42240, which is in Kentucky, not South Dakota. This geographic mismatch is itself a red flag, but more importantly, the Hopkinsville KY address is the SAME address used by at least four other reported scam sites in the same network. Buyers who send payment receive nothing.
Dakota Outdoor Power Equipment uses the EXACT same fake credentials as seven other reported scam sites: bentonfarmequipment.com (St. Louis, MO), greenlineequipmenttexarkana.com (Texarkana, TX / Hopkinsville, KY), peacemakertractor.com (Hopkinsville, KY), bishopandwachholz.com (Kasson, MN), thomasequipco.com (Charlotte, NC), mgmtruckmart.com (Tucson, AZ), and ronstractorshopstilwell.com (Stilwell, OK / Hopkinsville, KY). All eight sites display identical "Bond Number: CO 13069," identical "Company Reg#: 20211929794," identical claimed formation date "10/07/2015," identical "$0.80 per mile" shipping rate, identical "Revolutionize your cars & trucks shopping" template copy, and identical recycled fake testimonial names (Michael Grant, Laura Bennett, Anthony Reed, Melissa Carter — same exact names verbatim). This confirms Dakota Outdoor Power Equipment is the EIGHTH known site in the Bond CO 13069 fraudulent network.
Dakota Outdoor Power Equipment lists 4425 Madisonville Rd, Hopkinsville, KY 42240 as its physical address — the SAME address shared by peacemakertractor.com, greenlineequipmenttexarkana.com, ronstractorshopstilwell.com, and others. This is now the FIFTH dealer brand operating from a single fabricated address. No legitimate property can simultaneously be the showroom of five different equipment dealers across multiple brand identities. The Hopkinsville, KY address appears to be a virtual mail forwarding service, vacant property, or fabricated location used as the network's shared scam signature. Any heavy equipment dealer website displaying "4425 Madisonville Rd, Hopkinsville, KY 42240" should be treated as fraudulent regardless of brand name.
The brand name "Dakota Outdoor Power Equipment" and the (605) South Dakota phone area code suggest the company is based in the Dakotas. However, the listed physical address is in Hopkinsville, Kentucky — over 1,000 miles from South Dakota. No legitimate dealer would brand itself geographically as Dakota while operating from Kentucky. This name/address geographic mismatch, combined with the use of the network's shared Hopkinsville KY address, confirms the brand identity is fabricated.
The website advertises John Deere compact track loaders (333G, 324G), Caterpillar mini excavators (306CR), and Bobcat tracked skid steers (T770) at competitive prices — examples include a 2018 John Deere 333G at $13,400, a 2019 John Deere 333G at $15,800, a 2019 John Deere 324G at $9,600, a 2022 Caterpillar 306CR at $12,700, a 2020 Bobcat T770 at $16,500, and a 2020 John Deere 333G at $18,500. The site uses recycled fake testimonials with the same exact customer names (Michael Grant, Laura Bennett, Anthony Reed, Melissa Carter) and same exact review text used on bishopandwachholz.com and ronstractorshopstilwell.com — proving the testimonials are templated and copy-pasted across the network. After a buyer agrees to purchase, Dakota Outdoor Power Equipment demands payment by wire transfer, Zelle, ACH, or cryptocurrency. Once payment clears, the company stops responding entirely.
A buyer reported losing $13,400 — the full listing price — after wiring funds for a 2018 John Deere 333G compact track loader listed at $13,400 on dakotaoutdoorpowerequipment.com. The track loader was never shipped from the claimed Hopkinsville, KY location. Do NOT send money to dakotaoutdoorpowerequipment.com.

Dakota Outdoor Power Equipment, operating at dakotaoutdoorpowerequipment.com with phone (605) 215-6761 and email support@dakotaoutdoorpowerequipment.com, has been reported as an online heavy equipment scam. The site shares identical fake credentials, fake testimonials, and the Hopkinsville KY address with seven other reported scam sites in the Bond CO 13069 network.
No. dakotaoutdoorpowerequipment.com is not a legitimate equipment dealer. The site uses a Dakota brand name with a Kentucky address (geographic mismatch), uses fabricated bond and registration numbers identical to seven other reported scam sites, recycles the same fake testimonial customer names from bishopandwachholz.com and ronstractorshopstilwell.com, demands wire transfer or cryptocurrency payments, and goes silent once money is sent.
The brand name "Dakota Outdoor Power Equipment" and the (605) South Dakota phone area code suggest a Dakota-based business. However, the site lists 4425 Madisonville Rd, Hopkinsville, KY 42240 as its physical address — over 1,000 miles from South Dakota. This geographic mismatch confirms the brand identity is fabricated. The Kentucky address is shared with four other reported scam sites in the same fraudulent network.
The 4425 Madisonville Rd, Hopkinsville, KY 42240 address is the network's shared scam address. It is listed on dakotaoutdoorpowerequipment.com, peacemakertractor.com, greenlineequipmenttexarkana.com, ronstractorshopstilwell.com, and at least one other site. Five different dealer brands cannot legitimately operate from one physical address. The address is likely a virtual mail forwarding service, vacant property, or fabricated location used as the network's reusable scam signature.
Dakota Outdoor Power Equipment displays "Bond Number: CO 13069," "Company Reg#: 20211929794," formation date "10/07/2015," $0.80/mile shipping, and the EXACT same testimonial names and review text (Michael Grant, Laura Bennett, Anthony Reed, Melissa Carter) as seven other reported scam sites including bishopandwachholz.com and ronstractorshopstilwell.com. The fake credentials and identical recycled testimonials confirm all eight sites are operated by the same fraudulent network.
(605) 215-6761 is the phone number listed by Dakota Outdoor Power Equipment on dakotaoutdoorpowerequipment.com.

The number has been associated with the heavy equipment scam reported here.
support@dakotaoutdoorpowerequipment.com is the contact email listed by Dakota Outdoor Power Equipment. After payment is sent, victims report that support@dakotaoutdoorpowerequipment.com stops responding.
No. The testimonials displayed on dakotaoutdoorpowerequipment.com — attributed to "Michael Grant," "Laura Bennett," "Anthony Reed," and "Melissa Carter" — are FAKE. The same exact customer names with the same exact review text appear on bishopandwachholz.com and ronstractorshopstilwell.com. This proves the testimonials are scripted copy reused across multiple websites in the same fraudulent network.
Contact your bank or card issuer immediately and request a chargeback or wire recall. File a complaint with the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov and an FBI internet-fraud complaint at ic3.gov. Because the site uses a Dakota brand name with a Kentucky address, file consumer-protection complaints with both the Kentucky Attorney General in Frankfort and the South Dakota Attorney General in Pierre.
