“How Bobcat Unleashed Me” contest winners announced

Bobcat announces the grand prize winner, five second-place winners and 10 third-place winners of its How Bobcat Unleashed Me contest. Contest participants were asked to submit stories of how Bobcat equipment helped them perform work better, smarter and faster.

Gregory Stone of Excavation Details, Rock Stream, New York, is the grand prize winner earning a $75,000 Bobcat gift certificate for products and attachments. Stone’s entry told of how he left his custom cabinet company behind to pursue a niche application in vineyards. Using a skid steer loader and backhoe attachment, Stone developed a process to dig precise draining systems in vineyards that would not damage the vines or soil.
