Bobcat Contest Winners Named

Staff -- Pacific Builder and Engineer, 8/18/2008

West Fargo, ND — After 21 weeks of reviewing entries from Bobcat compact equipment enthusiasts, Bobcat Co. officials have selected winners in the How Bobcat Unleashed Me Contest.

Among the five second-place winners was Terry Reed of Four Seasons Construction, Whitehall, MT.

Reed left behind a grueling job at a gold mine in Montana to pursue a career as a compact equipment owner-operator. He took the experience he gained operating a Bobcat 863 skid-steer loader at the mine and applied that knowledge to a new business endeavor, a 773 loader operator. What started as a part-time job turned into full-time employment and a rewarding new career for Reed.

Reed will receive a $1,000 gift certificate, good for Bobcat products or attachments of the winner's choice at designated Bobcat dealerships in North America.
