In 2008, John decided to terminate his manufacturing relationship with Sweco, and bring the manufacturing in-house and re-brand the Trail Dozer to the SUTTER 480 Trail Dozer.

In October 2008, production began in Rocklin, California under the guidance of Tony Dipino who has been building and servicing the Trail Dozer since the initial 450 model. In mid-2010, the Sutter 500 Trail Dozer was introduced with the new Tier 3 EPA-compliant Mitsubishi engine and other enhancements. In June 2010, having outgrown the Rocklin facility, the manufacturing/part sales/service operations were relocated to Mound House, Nevada, conveniently located 6 miles east of Carson City. When John passed away in 2016 Tony and his wife, Debbie, became the owners and President and Vice President, respectively of Sutter Equipment Company, Inc. In mid-2018 the Sutter 500 was upgraded to Tier 4 final Kohler engine with standard 100,000 in-lb torque hubs.

Check back often as new improvements are in the works for the next generation of the SUTTER Trail Dozer - THE ULTIMATE TRAIL MACHINE™!

We are now offering Tier 4 retrofits for all trail dozers. Update your existing engine to a new Kohler engine. Unlike others offering this service, the installation of a new Kohler engine does not require any modifications to the dozer body, saving you thousands of dollars over similar offers.
