WHEEL EQUIPMENT LEASING LLC d/b/a Y.E.S. LEASING v. DAVID ROBERT NIELSEN

Filed: Feb 20, 2026
Type: CJ

What's This Case About?

Let’s be real: most of us would struggle to pay for a used lawn mower. But David Robert Nielsen? He signed a lease for a $213,000 Bobcat excavator — complete with a “P82 Performance Package,” “Hydraulic X-Change,” and a “7-inch Touch Display” — like it was a Netflix subscription, and then apparently ghosted the payments. Now, a Florida-based equipment leasing company is chasing him through Oklahoma courts for $121,844.17 — over half the original lease amount — and we’re here for the dumpster fire.

So who is David Robert Nielsen? According to the paperwork, he’s the owner of Nomadic Fab LLC, a Colorado Springs-based business that sounds like it does custom metal fabrication — the kind of shop that builds badass truck bumpers or industrial art sculptures. He’s also, apparently, a man who thought he could treat heavy machinery financing like a “buy now, figure it out later” Shopify dropshipping hustle. On June 20, 2023, Nielsen signed a non-cancelable lease agreement for a Bobcat E50 R2-Series compact excavator — basically a mini-digging beast that can tear up a backyard or prep a foundation. This wasn’t some weekend warrior rental. This was a full-blown, long-term financial commitment: 48 months, $4,822.59 per month, totaling $213,941.28. And just to make sure the leasing company didn’t get stiffed, Nielsen personally guaranteed the entire thing. That means if the business couldn’t pay? He would. No hiding behind an LLC. His name, his signature, his Social Security number — all on the line.

The lease itself reads like a legal horror story disguised as fine print. “Your obligation to pay is absolute and unconditional,” it declares in bold. No exceptions. Not if the machine breaks. Not if it gets stolen. Not if aliens beam it to Mars. You pay. Every. Single. Month. And if you’re late? There’s a $222.86 late fee — because nothing says “construction equipment” like nickel-and-diming over late penalties. Oh, and the company can slap a 1.5% monthly interest rate on overdue payments — that’s 18% annually, which would make a credit card blush. And if things go south? They can repossess the Bobcat, sell it, and still come after you for whatever’s left. Which, in this case, is over $120,000.

So what happened? The filing doesn’t spell it out in dramatic detail, but the story writes itself. Sometime after August 1, 2023 — when the first payment was due — the checks stopped coming. Or the autopay failed. Or Nielsen decided the whole venture wasn’t worth it. Whatever the reason, he defaulted. The leasing company — Wheel Equipment Leasing LLC, doing business as Y.E.S. Leasing (yes, “Your Equipment Specialists”) — did what any ruthless corporate lessor would do: they repossessed the Bobcat and sold it. But here’s the kicker — the sale didn’t cover the debt. Not even close. After the dust settled, there was still $121,844.17 left on the table. And since Nielsen personally guaranteed the lease, that number became his personal tab.

Now, why are they in court? Because this isn’t just a “he didn’t pay” story — it’s a contractual blood pact gone wrong. The legal claim is straightforward: breach of contract. Nielsen (through his company) signed a lease. He guaranteed it personally. He didn’t pay. The equipment was taken and sold. The math didn’t work out. The plaintiff wants the court to say, “Yep, you owe that money,” and issue a judgment. That’s it. No fraud. No theft. Just cold, hard contract enforcement — the kind of thing that keeps corporate lawyers employed and small business owners awake at night.

And what do they want? $121,844.17 in unpaid balance. Plus interest. Plus $925 in expenses. Plus attorney’s fees — which, under the lease, could be 25% of the claim or $1,500, whichever is greater. So we’re likely looking at a final judgment north of $130,000. Is that a lot? For a used excavator? Honestly? Maybe not. These machines can go for $80,000 to $120,000 new, depending on specs. But here’s the absurd part: Nielsen didn’t just rent a tool. He signed a lease so ironclad it might as well have been forged in Mordor. He agreed to pay all future rent if he defaulted — meaning even if he returned the machine day one, he’d still owe the full balance. And he personally guaranteed it. This wasn’t a “oops, I forgot a payment” situation. This was a “I bet my entire financial future on a construction business and the wheels came off” scenario.

Now, let’s talk about the real villain here — not Nielsen, not the leasing company, but the lease itself. This document is a masterpiece of corporate self-protection. It disclaims all warranties — “as is,” no guarantees of fitness, no promises it’ll even work. It forces the lessee to insure the machine, maintain it, and pay all taxes. It lets the lessor charge fees for autopay failures. It allows them to assign the lease to anyone, anywhere, and forces the borrower to sue in Miami-Dade County, Florida — which Nielsen waived his right to contest. Oh, and he also waived his right to a jury trial. This isn’t a lease. It’s a surrender.

And yet… we can’t help but side with the absurdity of it all. A man in Colorado Springs signs for a high-end Bobcat with Bluetooth and a touch screen — because apparently even backhoes need infotainment now — and now he’s being sued in Oklahoma (yes, Oklahoma, not Florida, because the attorneys are based in Tulsa) for a debt that likely ballooned because of fees, interest, and repossession costs. The machine was sold, but the math didn’t save him. The personal guarantee did its job — it turned a business debt into a personal financial nightmare.

Is $121,844 a lot? For most people, yes. For a failed business venture involving a single piece of equipment? It’s brutal. But here’s the thing: this is how equipment leasing works. You don’t get to return the Lamborghini of excavators and say, “Nah, it didn’t work out.” You signed the paper. You checked the box. You typed your Social Security number into a website. And now, the bill is due.

Our take? We’re not rooting for the faceless Florida leasing corporation with its 25% attorney fee clause. And we’re not rooting for the guy who thought he could flex a $200k+ piece of machinery without a solid exit plan. But we are rooting for common sense. For contracts that don’t feel like Faustian bargains. For small business owners who read the fine print — or at least have someone who does. Because at the end of the day, this isn’t just about a Bobcat. It’s about what happens when “yes” turns into “oh no.” And in this case, “Y.E.S. Leasing” might just have the last laugh — all the way to the bank.

Koffler, President YES LEASING Your Equipment Specialists EQUIPMENT LEASE TERMS AND CONDITIONS 1. LEASE. You agree to lease from the Lessor and Lessor agrees to lease to you the Equipment identified on the first page of this Lease under the terms of this Lease. Lessor may insert or correct any missing terms, such as Equipment serial numbers, after you sign this Lease. 2. TERM. Lease term ("Term") commences on the Commencement Date and will continue for the number of months set forth above. The “Commencement Date” means the earlier date that you accept delivery of the equipment or on which the first payment is due. 3. RENT AND DEPOSIT. You agree to pay Lessor Rent for the full Term in the amount shown on the first page. This Rent is to be paid monthly; however, Lessor may require rent payments to be made on a semi-monthly or weekly basis if any payment is delinquent. Rent is calculated based on prevailing interest rates on the date of this Lease. If, in Lessor’s reasonable opinion, such rates increase, Lessor may increase the Rent payments. If all or any part of a payment is unpaid before the 10th day after the due date, Lessor may charge you a late fee equal to 5% of the Rent payment, or $25.00, whichever is greater not to exceed the maximum amount allowed by applicable law. If Rent or any other payment due hereunder is past due in excess of thirty (30) days from the date due, interest of 1½ % per month will be assessed from the due date. It is the expressed intent of the parties not to violate any applicable usury laws. In the event any amounts due are deemed to constitute interest which exceeds the maximum amount allowed under applicable law, such interest shall be reduced to equal the highest rate permitted by applicable law with such excess payments being applied to Rent in inverse order of maturity and with any remaining balance being refunded to you. The Deposit will not bear interest and Lessor may commingle it with other funds. You agree that Lessor may, but is not obligated to, apply the Deposit to any amount owed by you, and if Lessor does so you agree to restore the Deposit to its original amount. You may request the return of the Deposit after your obligations under this Lease have been met in full. Payments are to be made via ACH or remote deposit, initiated by Lessor ("autopay"). In the event you cannot continue with auto-pay for any reason, a $100.00 management fee will be added to your monthly invoice. If payment is made via other method, Lessor reserves the right to charge a fee of $38.80 or 3%. 4. DELIVERY. You agree that Lessor is not responsible for delivery or installation of the Equipment. You will not have any claim against Lessor if the equipment manufacturer, supplier or other Equipment seller (jointly referred to as "Vendor") delays in delivery or installation. 5. SELECTION AND PURCHASE OF EQUIPMENT. You understand and agree that: (A) Lessor did not select, manufacture or supply the Equipment and has no expertise regarding the Equipment; (B) you selected the manufacturer, (C) you selected the Vendor and Equipment based on your own knowledge and judgment; (D) Lessor is buying the Equipment at your request only for the purpose of leasing it to you.

LESSOR DISCLAIMS ALL SUCH WARRANTIES OR GUARANTEES OF ANY KIND. Lessor agrees to transfer to you all warranties IF ANY made by the Vendor to Lessor. Any claims you have related to the Equipment, or any warranty therefor shall be made against the Vendor or other third party and not the Lessor.

Lessor shall under no circumstances be liable to you for consequential, incidental or special damages or lost profits.

You waive all rights and remedies under Sections 2A-508 through 2A-522 of Article 2A of the UCC, to the extent permitted by applicable law including the right to (1) cancel or repudiate the Lease; (2) reject or revoke acceptance of the Equipment; (3) grant a security interest in the Equipment; (4) accept partial delivery of the Equipment; (5) "cover" by making any purchase or lease of substitute equipment; and (6) seek specific performance against Lessor.

You understand that Lessor is not responsible for repairs or service to the Equipment. You will keep the Equipment in good condition, will service the Equipment as and when needed, and will provide all parts, mechanisms and devices required to keep the Equipment in good mechanical and working order. All replacement parts and additions will become Lessor's property.

USE. You certify that the Equipment will be used solely for business, commercial or agricultural purposes and not for personal, family or household purposes. You agree to comply with all the laws and regulations regarding the use and maintenance of this Equipment. It is your responsibility that the Equipment be equipped and safeguarded to meet all governmental requirements, including but not limited to OSHA requirements, before placing such Equipment into operation. You will not make any alterations to the Equipment and will not allow it to be used by anyone but your employees or move it to any location other than set forth herein without Lessor's written permission. 9. LOSS; DAMAGE; INSURANCE. You agree to assume the risk of loss, theft, damage or destruction of the Equipment from any cause whatsoever until it is returned to the Lessor and no loss, theft, damage, destruction, condemnation or requisition (any of the foregoing an “Event of Loss”) of the Equipment shall relieve you of the obligation to pay Rent or of any other obligation under this Lease. You shall immediately notify Lessor of any insurance claim and Event of Loss of an item of Equipment, and, at the option of Lessor, you shall (a) place such Equipment in good repair and working order so that the Equipment is of at least the same utility, value, useful life and marketability; or (b) replace such Equipment with like Equipment that is at least of the same utility, value, useful life and marketability, with clear title to the replacement Equipment in Lessor's name not subject to any lien; or (c) promptly pay to Lessor an amount equal to the (i) past due Rent and all future Rent to become due during the unexpired Term, (ii) the residual value placed on the Equipment by Lessor at the commencement of the Lease, (iii) all late fees and any other charges due and to become due, and (iv) the costs listed in Sections 14 and 15 below. Lessor may require that you perform option (c) hereof whether all or only a portion of the Equipment is subject of the Event of Loss. Any proceeds received by you or Lessor as the result of an Event of Loss shall be applied at Lessor’s election, in whole or in part, to repair or replace such item of Equipment or satisfy any of your obligations hereunder. You will keep the Equipment insured against all risks of loss in an amount not less than the replacement cost, and will list Lessor as the loss payee. You will also carry public liability insurance listing Lessor as noncontributory primary additional insured. All insurance will be in a form and amount and with a company acceptable to Lessor in its sole discretion, including as set out in any PROPERTY AND CASUALTY INSURANCE ENDORSEMENT LETTER. You agree to provide Lessor with satisfactory written evidence of all such insurance. You agree that if you fail to acquire or maintain such insurance, Lessor may, at its sole option, acquire insurance for the Equipment, and the premiums for said insurance shall be an additional obligation to Lessor and added to the rent; otherwise, Lessor may declare the Lease in immediate breach and default. You agree you have no right to any insurance benefits from Lessor, and that you are still liable for all losses. 10. TAXES AND OTHER FEES. You agree to pay all the licenses, fees, assessments and to pay to Lessor upon demand for all taxes (including sales, use, personal property and other taxes) and other fees which may be charged regarding the leasing, use or ownership of the Equipment regardless of whether or not you have otherwise paid such tax. You agree that Lessor may pay personal property and or any other taxes directly to the taxing authority and, upon Lessor's request, you will reimburse Lessor for such amounts paid by Lessor. 11. INDEMNITY. You agree to and will indemnify and save harmless Lessor, its successors and assigns, from all the costs relating to the claims of loss, damage, or injury related to the Equipment or this Lease sustained by you or by any of your agents or employees, or by any person whomsoever, whether such loss, damage or injury be caused by (a) the negligence of the Lessor or of its officers, agents or employees, (b) any defect in, or aspect of the leased Equipment giving rise to liability whether in the form of tort or strict liability or implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for use, (c) any other form of liability including incidental or consequential damages, or (d) any other cause. This promise will survive the Term. 12. TITLE & SECURITY INTEREST. You understand that Lessor exclusively owns and holds title to the Equipment and you agree this is a lease and not a financing; provided that if this Lease is held by a court to be a financing, you hereby grant Lessor a security interest in the Equipment and all proceeds arising therefrom. You surrender any interest, equitable or otherwise you may have in the Equipment to Lessor except for interest arising under this Lease. You will not allow any liens or encumbrances to be placed on the Equipment. For titled equipment, Lessor shall have the option of being listed as owner or lienholder on the certificate of title for the Equipment and such designation is not intended to change the nature of this Lease from a lease to a financing. Lessor is not responsible for any delays in titling caused by any party, and any such delay does not relieve you of your obligation to pay monthly Rent payments. As security for your obligations under the Lease and all other leases, loans and other obligations to Lessor, you hereby pledge all of your properties, assets and rights, wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (collectively the "Collateral") including without limitation, all of the following (capitalized terms in this sentence have the meaning set forth in the applicable UCC): Accounts; Chattel Paper (including without limitation Electronic Chattel Paper), Instruments, Equipment, Inventory and other Goods of any kind, Farm Products, Accessions, As Extracted Collateral, Documents, General Intangibles, Deposit Accounts, Letter of Credit Rights, Investment Property, Supporting Obligations, and records and data relating to any of the foregoing, together with any and all proceeds of any of the foregoing, including without limitation insurance proceeds. You grant Lessor power of attorney, and hereby authorize Lessor to file UCC financing statements as Lessor deems necessary to protect its interest in the Equipment and Collateral and charge you a fee to cover documentation and other costs and in so doing does not waive ownership. The Equipment is considered personal property, and you will not permit it to become a fixture to real estate. You will not allow any mechanics' or other liens or encumbrances to be placed on the Equipment. Plates or other markings may be affixed or placed on the Equipment indicating that the Lessor or its assignees is the owner of the Equipment. You will not remove, alter or deface Lessor's ownership plates, tags, or identification on the Equipment. 13. DEFAULT. You agree that Lessor may declare you in default if (a) you fail to make any Rent or other payment for a period of 10 days after its due date more than once in any 12-month period; (b) you do not comply with any other term of this Lease or any other agreement you have with the Lessor; (c) any action is brought against you causing the Equipment to be taken or encumbered by a lien; (d) you or any guarantor of this Lease die, become insolvent, make or consent to an assignment for the benefit of creditors, file or have filed against you a bankruptcy, sell all or substantially all of your assets, change your primary business, ownership or management, make or consent to the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or go out of business; (e) you allow required loss or liability insurance covering the Equipment to lapse; (f) you fail to coordinate successful installation or re-installation destroy, remove, tamper with or deactivate any GPS tracking device on the Equipment. Furthermore, YES Leasing reserved the right to assess a $150.00 per week fee in the event Lessee breaches the terms in paragraph (f), above. If any of these defaults occurs, you agree that Lessor may take one or more of the following actions, in addition to other actions available under law: (A) Lessor may cancel the Lease and/or sue for; (1) past due Rent and all future Rent to become due during the unexpired Term, (2) the residual value placed on the Equipment by Lessor at the commencement of the Lease, (3) all late fees and any other charges due and to become due, and (4) the costs listed in Sections 14 and 15 below; AND (B) Enter any premises where any portion of the Equipment is located and repossess the Equipment without liability for trespass or damage to the premises; or sue for a repossession court order. Following repossession: (1) All of your rights to the Equipment will end; (2) Lessor may re-market the Equipment without advance notice to you; and (3) Lessor may also sue for the amounts listed in Section "A" above without first re-marketing the Equipment. You agree that Lessor is not required to repossess and re-market the Equipment, and you waive any rights under law that provide otherwise. You agree that all sums due under the calculations above shall be immediately due and payable and be construed as liquidated damages rather than a penalty provision. The liability of all Lessees (if more than one) and any guarantors of this Lease shall be joint and several. Any default under the terms of any lease, loan or other contract between you and Lessor, shall constitute a default by you of all such obligations. Said default shall entitle Lessor to exercise all rights available to it including the right to repossess and sell any Equipment. 14. RECOVERY COSTS. You agree to pay all of Lessor's recovery costs after a default, including: (1) attorney's fees equal to 25% of the amount of Lessor's claim or $1,500, whichever is greater; (2) reasonable attorney's fees for receiving a repossession order; (3) costs of suit; (4) $500.00 to cover Lessor's internal collection overhead; (5) $450.00 to cover Lessor's internal repossession and re-marketing overhead if an internal repossession is made or attempted; and (6) all other reasonable out-of-pocket costs. You agree now that the above amounts are good and reasonable predictions of what Lessor's actual costs and overhead will be and are not penalties 15. RETURN OF EQUIPMENT. At the end of the Lease Term, or if you are in default and Lessor makes a request, you will, at your expense, return the Equipment to Lessor at a reasonable place to be designated by Lessor. You agree to have the risk of loss during transit. You agree to pay Lessor for any damages done to the Equipment during the Term beyond "ordinary wear and tear". You understand that any person who refuses to return or prevents Lessor from repossessing the Equipment may be personally liable for conversion. 16. MARKETING. Signing this lease gives your consent to receive marketing information from Lessor. This will include up to two marketing text messages per month. Your carrier's messaging and data rates may apply. You may ask questions by replying "HELP" to any text message. You may opt-out of receiving these messages at any time by replying "STOP" to any text message. 17. ASSIGNMENT; SUBLEASE. You agree that Lessor may assign (transfer) any or all of its interests under this lease and/or the Equipment to a new owner or a secured party at any time without prior notice to you, and such new owner or secured party may also assign its rights. If that happens, you agree that the new owner or secured party will have the same rights Lessor had under this Lease but will not have to perform any of Lessor's obligations (in which case Lessor will keep those obligations). You agree that the rights of the new owner or secured party will not be subject to any claims, defenses or set-offs that you may have against Lessor or any other person. You agree that any transfer by Lessor would not materially change your obligations under the Lease or substantially increase your risks. You agree you may not assign (transfer) any of your interests under the Lease to any other person or sublease any of the Equipment without first obtaining the written consent of Lessor. 18. WAIVER OF GARNISHMENT EXEMPTION. In accordance with F.S. §211.11(2)(b), you agree that if it is determined that you are "head of a family", any of your disposable income greater than $500.00 a week may be attached or garnished to satisfy Lessor's judgment against you. 19. PLACE FOR SUIT. You agree that: (1) THIS LEASE WILL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF FLORIDA; (2) YOU WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY AND CONSENT TO PERSONAL JURISDICTION IN THE COURTS IN FLORIDA; (3) ANY LEGAL PAPERS FOR ANY LAWSUIT WILL BE PROPERLY SERVED IF MAILED BY CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, WITH DELIVERY TO EITHER YOU OR YOUR REGISTERED AGENT; 4) ANY LAWSUIT, REGARDLESS OF WHO FILES, MUST BE BROUGHT ONLY IN THE COURTS OF DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA AND NOT ELSEWHERE, UNLESS LESSOR AGREES IN WRITING OR ELECTS OTHERWISE; AND, VENUE IS PROPER IN MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA. 20. MISCELLANEOUS. In the event any portion of this Lease is deemed to be illegal or invalid, it shall not in any way affect the validity of the other remaining portions of this Lease. Any notices required shall be provided in writing. Time is of the essence and no waiver by Lessor of any default shall constitute a waiver of any other default or a waiver of Lessor's rights. Photographs of the Equipment or Lessee may be used in Lessor's marketing materials. You covenant that neither you nor any other person who owns a controlling interest or otherwise controls you in any manner is not listed on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons Lists maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC") or other similar lists maintained by the federal government pursuant to any federal law or regulation regarding a person designated under Executive Order No. 13224 or similar lists and you are in compliance with any Bank Secrecy Act regulations and other federal regulations to prevent money laundering.
