Interview with Scott Hultman

Rum River Contracting

Princeton, Minnesota

April 11, 2001

The climate in Minnesota doesn’t leave much time for Scott Hultman of Rum River Contracting to get the job done.    When the time is right, his equipment needs to be able to stand the long hours without failing. His machines need to keep on running and consistently do a good job. And the equipment needs to be easy to handle and operate.  So what does Scott use?  A LeeBoy 8500 Elite Paver. 

Bought in 1999 from Road Machinery in Minneapolis, Scott liked the options that the 8500 had the easy maneuverability (a must since he does driveways and small parking lots), the easy operation and handling, the automatic extendable screed, and most importantly, the service. "We need the support and Lee Boy stands behind their machines." Scott and his crew work many twelve-hour days, sometimes longer, in order to meet deadlines. He needs the assurance, if there is a problem or a question that someone will be there. "We've never had a problem with service or technical assistance. Joe Patsy, our area sales representative, takes care of us and makes sure we're back up and running fast." Service, coupled with consistent quality and ease of handling, makes Scott Hultman very pleased with Lee Boy. "When you're under the gun to get things done, I depend on LeeBoy."
