Upstate Equipment

Upstate Equipment is a veteran owned-and-operated 2nd generation family business located in Western New York. In 1998, John Freundschuh, our father & original owner, and his wife Sara purchased Bobcat of Buffalo, relocating from Rochester to Buffalo, NY. John had been employed as a salesman at a Rochester, NY dealership for 12 years prior to purchasing his own business in WNY. His dream of a family-owned and operated business lives on in his sons and daughters, each having grown up in the dealership. While our father passed in January 2010, his legacy, work ethic and life’s passion continues on in the hands of his children.

In June of 2021, the "Bobcat of Buffalo" name was rebranded to "Upstate Equipment" in order to better conduct operational activities throughout Upstate New York. The family has expanded brick and mortar locations in both the Syracuse, NY and Elmira, NY areas.

In January 2022, another full line Buffalo location was opened in Hamburg, NY.

  • I traded in my bobcat for a newer one recently. I called Bobcat of Buffalo and talked to Nick. He was great to work with. He was prompt and did everything he said he would. I was worried about hydraulic fluid. He gave me enough of the correct fluid and told me not to worry about it! I definitely recommend Nick and Bobcat of Buffalo. - Robert Osborn
