sporting arenas throughout the country. The sport's best cowboy
athletes - national champions and challengers alike - compete
in bareback riding, saddle bronc riding and bull riding. Plus,
there's Barrel Racing and other attractions. Participants compete

Steve Gander, Executive Producer of the World's Toughest Rodeo,
picked some equally tough machines to do much of the behind-the-scenes
work at his rodeo - a New Holland skid steer loader and a TN
tractor.
He had initially bought a New Holland skid steer a few years
ago because he said "it was the only one that would move
our bucking chutes across the dirt without tipping. We had been
on every skid loader known to man and New Holland was, and is,
the only piece of equipment that will do the job."
Steve now also uses a second New Holland skid
steer, plus New Holland TN tractor to haul hay and do other
work on a ranch where he has 120 horses.
"I am really into quality, so we just don't
put our name with anybody who comes along," says Steve.
"That's why we're involved with New Holland.
