Bobcat 337 Digs Up Rave Reviews for Colorado Company

Eight years ago, Dan Vavrina, Mead, CO, was a heavy equipment operator for a company that rented a compact excavator one day to install sewer lines in a limited access area. &#8220;I was immediately impressed with the power of the small machine,&#8221; Vavrina said. &#8220;I saw what you could accomplish with it, and I began to rent one for my own use in the evening and weekends. I&#8217;d do a job and immediately get calls for more work.&#8221; Before long, Vavrina started his own company &#8212; Colorado Mini Excavating. He does trenching, fine grading, demolition, digs basements and builds rock walls, water features and drainage systems. Today, Vavrina uses a Bobcat 337 excavator, along with a Bobcat 873 loader. &#8220;The power of the 337 continues to amaze me,&#8221; Vavrina said. &#8220;I often have to move 1,000-lbs. boulders into a precise location. The 337 handles this type of work extremely well.&#8221; Vavrina, who at times works around million dollar-plus homes in the Boulder, CO, area, relies on his 337 to deliver the type of performance that draws rave reviews from contractors and homeowners alike. &#8220;Contractors keep calling because we consistently produce on-grade results, not a couple of inches off grade,&#8221; Vavrina explained. &#8220;The 337 is a smooth-operating alternative to the tractor-loader-backhoe. And homeowners are impressed with the minimum damage the 337 does to their property.&#8221; This story also appears on Construction Equipment Guide.
