Sell More Clearing Equipment with Financing Built for Acres, Miles and Right-of-Way.
From forestry mulchers and tracked carriers to right-of-way mowers, brush cutters, grinders and chippers, FPG helps your sales team put a monthly payment in front of clearing contractors before price stalls the deal.
Clearing contractors bid by the acre and the mile, and utility and DOT contracts can run for years. Financing gives them a way to add the machine a new contract needs on a payment that fits how they get paid.

Financing that keeps pace with equipment-driven businesses
When a clearing contractor wins a right-of-way contract, replaces a worn mulcher or adds a second machine, your team needs a financing partner that is available and ready to help.
The Land Clearing & Vegetation Management Seller Perspective
Your customer just won the clearing contract and needs the machine to do the work.
For land clearing and vegetation management contractors, equipment decides which work they can bid. Utility right-of-way, pipeline, DOT roadside, wildfire fuel reduction and site development contracts all call for machines that can clear more ground per day, and wear on a mulcher or carrier is constant.
That makes financing a practical sales tool, not just a response when price becomes a problem.
Equip for the contract
Help customers add the machine a new utility, pipeline or DOT contract requires without waiting on a capital budget.
Clear more ground per day
Give buyers a way to move up to a larger mulcher or carrier that covers more acres and miles.
Preserve business cash
Help customers keep capital available for payroll, fuel, wear parts and the gap between invoice and payment.
Finance the whole spread
Finance a carrier, mulching head, grinder and trailer together so a clearing package is not split across several deals.
Equipment We Finance
Built around the machines that clear ground and keep right-of-way open
FPG finances land clearing and vegetation management equipment from a single mulching head to a complete clearing spread. We underwrite the buyer and understand that machine type, hours, condition, attachments and resale value can all influence how a transaction should be structured.
Forestry MulchersDedicated mulching tractors and drum and disc mulching heads for excavators, skid steers and compact track loaders.
Tracked Carriers & Compact Track LoadersHigh-flow compact track loaders, tracked carriers and prime movers built to run clearing attachments.
Right-of-Way & Boom MowersBoom mowers, side-arm and rotary cutters, and right-of-way mowing machines for utility and roadside work.
Brush Cutters & ShreddersRotary brush cutters, flail mowers and shredders for brush, saplings and overgrowth.
Horizontal & Tub GrindersHorizontal and tub grinders for land clearing debris, stumps and green waste.
Brush ChippersDrum and disc brush chippers, including towable and tracked units for clearing and right-of-way work.
Stump Grinders & RakesStump grinders, root and rock rakes, and grubbing attachments for finishing cleared ground.
Aerial Trimmers & Used EquipmentAerial saw trimmers and qualifying used and high-hour clearing equipment.
Selling a carrier with its mulching head, a grinder and chipper package or equipment for a contractor taking on a new right-of-way contract? FPG can structure financing around the whole order rather than one unit at a time.

People who understand the equipment and the sale
Clearing deals are not generic business financing. Machines take a beating, wear parts add up fast, and buyers range from owner-operators with one mulcher to contractors running multiple right-of-way crews on long utility contracts. FPG’s team works with sellers and buyers to structure the transaction around the equipment and the work it will do.
More than capital. A true partnership.

Payment-Based Selling
Help customers connect the payment to the acres and miles the machine can clear.
For clearing contractors, equipment is tied directly to the contracts they can bid and the ground they can cover. A monthly payment gives customers a clear way to weigh a machine against the work it opens up, while preserving cash for payroll, fuel and wear parts.

Land Clearing & Vegetation Management Equipment Financing FAQ
Questions equipment sellers ask
Why should our sales team introduce financing before a customer objects to price?
Presenting a monthly payment with the quote lets the contractor weigh the machine against the acres and miles it can clear before the total price becomes the main obstacle.
Can payments line up with a new utility or right-of-way contract?
Often, yes. Deferred, step and seasonal structures can align payments with the start of a contract or slower months. Availability depends on the transaction and credit approval.
Can a carrier and its mulching head be financed together?
Yes. A carrier or compact track loader, mulching head, grinder or chipper and trailer can be financed together under a single transaction.
Do you finance used and high-hour clearing equipment?
Yes. FPG finances new and qualifying used and high-hour machines. Age, hours, condition and resale value typically affect the term rather than eligibility.
Can mulching heads and attachments be financed on their own?
Yes. Mulching heads, brush cutters, mowers and other clearing attachments can be financed on their own or with the carrier, subject to credit approval.
How fast are decisions?
Most credit decisions come back in two to four hours. Larger packages, unusual structures or more complex credit situations can require additional review.
What happens when a deal does not fit FPG’s direct-lending box?
FPG also works with 25+ strategic funding partners. That gives the team additional ways to structure qualifying transactions without forcing the seller to manage separate lender relationships.
When does the seller get paid?
FPG funds your company in full on delivery and acceptance. The purchaser pays FPG based on the agreed terms. You receive payment, and FPG manages the financing from there.
