Purple Wave conducted an open house on March 26, 2026, to preview the lineup of equipment ahead of its retirement auction for S & A Land Clearing Inc. of Hugo, Minn.

The dispersal was scheduled to be part of Purple Wave's April 9 Construction Equipment Auction and featured a well-maintained fleet from a long-time Twin Cities–area land clearing and forestry contractor.

The no-reserve offering included a Tigercat feller buncher, a late-model Komatsu excavator, forestry mulchers and chippers, skidder units and a walking floor trailer. The lineup reflected years of professional use and routine maintenance across a range of forestry and site preparation applications.
