Your Heavy Equipment Deserves More Than Just Another Repair Shop
The machine sits dead in the yard and the phone won’t stop ringing. Your crew is standing around, the job clock is running, and every hour that skid steer or excavator isn’t moving dirt is money slipping through your fingers. You’ve been down this road before — a shop that promised a quick turnaround, then left the machine parked for a week with no updates and a bill full of line items you never approved. When a hydraulic pump fails or the engine throws a code on your loader, you don’t need excuses. You need a straight answer and a fast fix.
Note: Large vehicles like this are serviced at our Greeley and Fort Morgan locations. Our Brighton shop handles cars and light trucks.
At Bullet Automotive & Diesel, 624 13th St., Greeley, CO 80631 | 100 Walnut St., Fort Morgan, CO 80701, our ASE Certified technicians work on the heavy iron that keeps Colorado job sites running — backhoes, forklifts, dozers, wheel loaders, and the diesel engines inside them. We built this shop around one promise: We Always Shoot Straight. That means real diagnostics, plain-English answers, and repairs that hold up under the load and the weather you actually work in.

Model-Specific Heavy Equipment Expertise
Backhoe Loader Service and Repair
The backhoe is the workhorse of small crews — digging one minute, loading the next. Common trouble spots include worn stabilizer cylinders, hydraulic leaks at the boom and dipper, and transmission shift issues. We inspect the hydraulic circuit end to end, rebuild or replace failing cylinders, and keep the diesel engine tuned so it starts strong in Colorado cold.
Skid Steer and Track Loader Service and Repair
Skid steers take a beating from constant direction changes and heavy attachments. Drive motor failures, auxiliary hydraulic problems, and electrical faults in the control system are frequent complaints. We diagnose the hydrostatic drive, service the chain cases, and troubleshoot the joystick and sensor electronics so your loader responds the way it should.
Excavator Service and Repair
An excavator lives and dies by its hydraulics. Slow boom movement, swing bearing wear, and track tension problems can halt a dig fast. Our technicians test pump pressures, service the swing motor and final drives, and inspect the undercarriage so your machine keeps its power and precision under load.
Wheel Loader Service and Repair
Wheel loaders move serious material, and that stresses the transmission, axles, and lift arms hard. Watch for leaking lift cylinders, driveline vibration, and cooling system strain in summer heat. We repair the drivetrain, service the hydraulic lift system, and keep the diesel cooling package clean so the machine doesn’t overheat mid-shift.
Forklift Service and Repair
Forklifts run all day in warehouses and yards, and mast chains, hydraulic lift cylinders, and steering components wear steadily. We inspect the mast assembly, service the lift and tilt hydraulics, and handle both diesel and propane powertrain repairs so your lift keeps stacking without interruption.
Dozer Service and Repair
A dozer’s undercarriage and final drives take enormous punishment pushing dirt. Track wear, blade cylinder leaks, and steering clutch or hydrostatic issues are common. We measure undercarriage wear, rebuild hydraulic components, and keep the powertrain and cooling system in shape for the heavy grades of Colorado terrain.
Common Issues Across Heavy Equipment Models
No matter the brand or type, heavy machinery shares a handful of recurring problems that our technicians see and solve week in and week out.
- Hydraulic leaks and pressure loss: Worn seals, cracked hoses, and failing pumps rob a machine of lifting power — we pressure-test the system and repair the source, not just the symptom.
- Diesel emissions faults: Clogged DPFs, failed EGR valves, and regen problems trigger derates that cut your power — we clean, repair, and reset the emissions system correctly.
- Cold-start and hard-start problems: Weak glow plugs, aging batteries, and thick cold oil make Colorado winters tough on diesels — we service the starting and charging system for reliable mornings.
- Overheating under load: Clogged coolers, worn water pumps, and debris-packed radiators cause shutdowns in summer heat — we flush, clean, and repair the entire cooling package.
- Undercarriage and drivetrain wear: Tracks, sprockets, final drives, and axles wear out under constant load — we measure wear and rebuild before a small problem becomes a stranded machine.
- Electrical and sensor gremlins: Modern equipment relies on control modules that throw confusing codes — our scan tools trace faults so we fix the actual fault, not a guess.
