Baton Rouge, La.-based Doggett Machinery Services consists of 11 construction and forestry equipment dealers located across the southeastern United States. Doggett will be adding Morbark equipment to its current line of John Deere, Hitachi, Timberjack, Sakai and Terex Roadbuilding products. Doggett’s Louisiana sales and service locations are Baton Rouge, Alexandria, Broussard, Covington, Monroe, Shreveport, Sulphur and Kenner.
