John Deere Posts Second Head-to-Head Battle on "Skid Steer Smackdown" Website
Staff -- Associated Construction Publications, 5/6/2008
Moline, Ill. – There’s a brand-new video available on John Deere Construction & Forestry’s www.skidsteersmackdown.com website, part of the company’s unique integrated campaign for skid steer users that involves head-to-head contests between Deere and competitor machines.
The latest competition features a forward/reverse slalom, which highlights the John Deere 328 skid steer’s unprecedented visibility from the cab and the smoothness and maneuverability afforded by new Electro-Hydraulic joystick controls – now available on all Deere large-frame skid steers. Go to www.skidsteersmackdown.com and click on "The Battles" to view the video.
Launched in April, "Skidsteersmackdown.com" is a first-of-its-kind web site that features compelling skid steer vs. skid steer action captured on video before a live audience, a discussion forum, buying information, and more.
The site’s interactive components allow users to pick the Deere machines they’d like to see compared to other units. The videos – showing tasks with measurable results – can then be rated, commented on, and shared with friends and colleagues. New battles will be posted monthly.
