About us
n
Down to Earth Diesel is an earthmoving maintenance business based from Mount Barker. We look after construction, civil and mining plant across South Australia - planned servicing, breakdowns and diagnostics. Field work, not a workshop roster.
n
The crew is small. You run your own jobs, keep the client updated, and own the outcome. We don't do shutdowns. Short-term labour hire comes up. Component rebuilds sit with our specialist; you'd assist when needed. Helping our apprentices get better is part of the job.
n
Established ****. Earthmoving machinery only.
