Central Equipment

Keeping Lexington Productive Since 1972

In the Horse Capital of the World, the standards for turf and farm maintenance are higher than anywhere else. Since 1972, Central Equipment has been the backbone of Lexington’s landscaping and agricultural community. Founded by the Huber family, we have grown from a small operation into a third-generation, 56,000-square-foot facility on Red Mile Road, dedicated to serving residential homeowners, large property owners, and commercial professionals throughout Central Kentucky.

Our philosophy is simple: keep your equipment running right for as long as you own it. We bring a sense of "informed confidence" to every interaction, backed by a team of over 40 employees who share more than 420 years of combined industry experience. Whether you are maintaining a world-class thoroughbred farm or a suburban backyard, we ensure your gear is prepared to perform when you need it most.

Mastery Over Every Engine

A downed mower or a failing tractor can bring a productive day to a grinding halt. Our service department is staffed with over 20 factory-trained and annually certified technicians who specialize in everything from routine seasonal upkeep to complex mechanical overhauls. We don't just sell high-quality machines; we provide the parts and service support to stand behind them for life.

Our Specialized Maintenance and Repair Services:

• High-precision carburetor cleans and fuel system rebuilds for easier starting.
• Full engine overhauls and technical diagnostics for gas and diesel units.
• Professional blade sharpening and spindle replacements for precision cutting.
• Complete tune-up packages for zero-turns, tractors, and handheld equipment.
• Authorized service for elite brands including Kubota, John Deere, Exmark, Ferris, and Honda.

The Central Equipment Edge

What truly sets us apart is our massive infrastructure designed around customer convenience. We house a staggering $4 million in parts inventory, ensuring that your repairs aren't delayed by backorders. While others may only service what they currently sell, we provide parts and support for nearly every product line we’ve ever carried, including Woods, Land Pride, and Stihl.

If you can't get your equipment to our 4.1-acre lot, we bring the shop to you. Our LEXGOMOW at-home maintenance service and our fleet of delivery trucks ensure that whether you have a push mower or a 100-horsepower tractor, we can handle the logistics. We even offer mobile Ag service to fix farm equipment directly in the field, minimizing your downtime during critical seasons.

A Community Pillar

The vibe at Central Equipment is professional, customer-focused, and deeply rooted in Kentucky heritage. We’ve remained a staple of the Fayette County area for over 50 years because we prioritize quality over a quick sale. When you visit our showroom, you’re greeted by a team that understands the heavy lifting required by our local farms and landscapes.

We look forward to ensuring everyone from Lexington to Louisville has the professional-grade gear and expert support they need to get the job done right. Whether you need a simple oil change or a new fleet of zero-turns, we are ready to keep you moving.
