Your local GEHL, Manitou, SnowDogg & Kanga dealer — headquartered in Burlington
Northern Kentucky businesses don't need to cross the river for quality compact equipment. Bluegrass Diesel Specialists is headquartered right here in Burlington, KY, and we carry the full range of GEHL skid steers and compact track loaders, Manitou forklifts, SnowDogg snow plows, SaltDogg spreaders, and Kanga compact loaders. As NKY's only combined equipment dealer and diesel engine specialist, we offer something no other local dealer can — the ability to sell you the machine and provide full factory-authorized service, all under one roof. While diesel is our core expertise, we stand behind everything we sell and service all equipment in our lineup regardless of engine type.
Buying equipment locally matters. When your skid steer needs service, you don't want to trailer it across the river or wait for a dealer 45 minutes away. Our Burlington facility is centrally located for all of Boone, Kenton, and Campbell counties — most NKY businesses are within 20 minutes of our shop. We stock parts, perform warranty work, and offer PM programs specifically for the equipment we sell. And because we're diesel engine specialists with a complete machine shop, we can handle everything from routine maintenance to major engine rebuilds without outsourcing a single step.
Northern Kentucky's economy is growing fast — new distribution centers along the I-71/75 corridor, residential development throughout Boone County, and commercial construction in Florence, Covington, and Newport. That growth creates demand for versatile compact equipment. GEHL's R-series skid steers (from the compact R105 to the powerful R260) and RT-series track loaders cover every application, from tight residential lots to heavy commercial grading. For NKY's winter season, SnowDogg plows and SaltDogg spreaders are essential for property management companies and municipal operations. And Kanga compact loaders are perfect for the landscaping and hardscaping work that NKY's suburban growth demands.
