For more than 40 years, Kipco Construction has been a trusted name in Lane County, delivering general site work with a specialty in excavation, underground utilities, and pipe work. Established in 1982 and led by longtime employee and owner/manager Seth Brown, the company’s reputation is built on experienced crews backed by capable equipment and dependable project execution.
That day-in, day-out work demands iron that shows up and support that never quits. Kipco’s teams operate excavators, dozers, loaders, backhoes, rollers, and more to perform tasks where precision, uptime, and safety are non-negotiable.

The Right Machines: New, Used, or Rental
Papé Machinery Construction & Forestry keeps contractors like Kipco outfitted with exactly what each phase requires. Across the West, our dealerships stock the John Deere machines contractors rely on so crews can match machine sizes and specs to the work at hand. With 29 locations throughout Oregon, Washington, California, Nevada, and Hawaii, we make it easy to source equipment close to your jobsite.
When a project calls for specific capabilities, Papé Machinery Construction & Forestry’s portfolio spans categories and models from trusted brands like John Deere, Wirtgen, Gradall, and Kleemann, giving crews options without compromise.
Timelines shift and scopes flex, so rental is often the smartest path. Papé Machinery Construction & Forestry rental yards carry core classes, plus compact equipment and attachments to fine-tune performance. We also stock leading brands for specialized needs, including FAE brush equipment and rollers from Dynapac and Wirtgen. That breadth lets a contractor scale up for peak times, bridge a repair, or try out a machine before purchasing.
