Bobcat and Compact Mini Earthworks is a hard-working and efficient combo, no question about it.
Compact Mini Earthworks is a Queensland-based company which specialises in tight-access work with earthmoving machinery. Operating from Nambour, about 100km north of Brisbane, owner Jonty Guy spreads his net wide to keep his machines working.
“A lot of pool digs, concrete preps, landscaping preps for turf…pretty much anything to do with tight access or earthworks,” said the happy-sounding sunshine-coaster.
Bobcat all the way
Jonty’s currently running a Bobcat E20 excavator and MT100 loader, and when Landscape Contractor spoke to him he was awaiting the arrival of his next machine.
“I get it next week,” he glowed, clearly looking forward to the new Bobcat. “It’s an R series E35.”
“I’m actually putting a flail mower on it,” he explained. “It’s sort of like a mulcher/slasher, and I’m just trying to diversify my business a bit and branch out into more land clearing and vegetation management.”
Bobcat and Compact Mini Earthworks got together about five years ago, and while he’s been around a lot longer, he rates his experience with Bobcat as a particular highlight.
“I’ve had other machinery that’s broken down on me numerous times, but not the Bobcats,” he recalled.
“I bought my first machine off Bobcat probably five years ago, and since then I’ve just had a great relationship with the brand – with Clint Warren, the salesman, with the people in the office, and with the service staff at Clark Equipment Sunshine Coast.
“I haven’t had any dramas with any of their machines ever, and they’ve really looked after me with all their servicing.” And when any minor problem has cropped up, Jonty’s been more than happy with Clark Equipment’s response.
“They’re there within half an hour to sort it out,” he said. “They’re very good to deal with.”
