Does anyone out there have any experience selling (or buying) large construction equipment? I'm thinking about a job selling excavators and such, and have zero experience in the field.

What is it like?

I'd think one would call on a group of established prospects/customers, and you'd sell you machine vs the other brands. But maybe not. Maybe you wander from construction site to construction site, begging guys to take your front end loader out for a little spin around the neighborhood and hoping they don't call one of the 50 other guys who sell your brand.

Any insight would be helpful. I already buy and sell used capital machinery, but I'm thinking about doing something else.
