Forbes Small Engine Specialists has been keeping local gear running since 1988. Customers bring machines in from Forbes, Parkes, Condobolin, Grenfell and the surrounding farms, and some travel from Cowra, Orange and Dubbo for workshop work.

Whether it is a mower that will not start, a chainsaw that needs a sharpen before winter, or a side-by-side due for its service, call in and see the team. Parts and accessories are also available in-store for anyone who prefers to do the job themselves.

Workshop questions

  • What brands does the workshop service?

    Virtually any small engine brand. That includes the brands sold in-store, such as Polaris, Husqvarna, Cox, Masport and Country Clipper, plus most other makes. The team can source parts for nearly any small engine.

  • How long does a service or repair take?

    It depends on the job and the time of year. The team turns work around as quickly as possible, and urgent farm and commercial jobs are prioritised. Call 02 6852 3228 for the current turnaround.

  • Will I get a quote before work starts?

    Yes. Major repairs are always quoted upfront, so you decide whether to go ahead before any work is done.

  • Is my old mower worth repairing?

    Sometimes it is, sometimes it is not. If a repair will cost more than the machine is worth, the team will tell you straight and talk you through the options.

  • Do you pick up and drop off mowers?

    Yes. Free pickup and delivery is available for mower services and repairs within the Forbes town limits (inside the 50km/h zone). Call the team to arrange a time.
