Northgate Equipment is a well established business located on the west side of US 2 about two miles north of Escanaba. I shop carefully using Consumer Reports and online forums for information before visiting various businesses. Northgate sells nothing but quality products and I know of several loggers and landscaping business owners that shop there exclusively because of product value and service. I have purchased Husqvarna chain saws, an Ariens walk behind string trimmer, and an Echo trimmer and attachments and all have served me well. Although I am a homeowner with a one acre yard and heat my home with wood I have been treated as well as they treat their professional customers. I've always had good service for tune ups, chain sharpening, and ordering parts. The owner and employees are extremely knowledgeable and have always treated me with respect in spite of many questions and multiple visits prior to purchasing. I am going to return to check out their highly rated John Deere riding mowers. read more
