Californian Wins Ramrod Taskmaster Loader

John Benetti of Peterson Tractor Co. in San Leandro, Calif., is the winner of
the 2006 Ramrod Taskmaster mini-skid loader (also called a compact utility
loader) valued at $16,593. Benetti visited the Ramrod Equipment exhibit at the
ARA Show and entered his name. It was that simple. Now he is the owner of the
new “Rental Choice” model 915 Taskmaster, with a liquid-cooled 23-hp Kawasaki
engine. When contacted by Don Reed of Ramrod Equipment’s Rental Div., Benetti
was excited to learn that his was the lucky name drawn from all of the
entries.

Benetti indicated that he was there on behalf of Peterson Tractor, and thus
Peterson Tractor should decide what to do with the winnings. As such, they have
decided to support the California Landscaping Contractors’ Association and will
use it as a “Win a Ramrod” prize at the Association’s annual golf tournament.

Ramrod painted the 915 Taskmaster a special black color, decaling it with
Ramrod, Peterson and the CLCA logos. Peterson will promote the “Win a Ramrod”
sweepstakes throughout the summer, featuring the unit at various CLCA events and
in its showroom.

“Good things will continue to happen,” said Benetti.
