Butte’s Cat Rental Store Powers Community Progress with Equipment Donation

At the heart of every great community project is a team willing to roll up their sleeves—and sometimes, a powerful piece of equipment to help move mountains. That’s exactly what happened when The Cat Rental Store in Butte, Montana stepped up to support the All American Ranch, a nonprofit organization dedicated to youth development and community engagement through rodeo and ranching programs.

This summer, the All American Ranch broke ground on a major expansion of their roping arena. The project involved relocating a hill approximately 50 feet wide, 6 feet tall, and 130 feet long—a task that local contractors estimated would take a crew of four people up to three weeks and cost nearly $60,000. Instead, thanks to the generous donation of a Cat D3 Dozer from the Butte Rental team, two volunteers were able to complete the majority of the work in just five days.

Equipment That Makes a Difference

The D3 Dozer, delivered directly to the site by a knowledgeable and helpful Cat Rental Store team member, performed flawlessly throughout the project. The volunteers praised the machine’s user-friendly controls, powerful performance, and well-maintained condition—not to mention the air-conditioned cab, which was a welcome relief during a week of 80+ degree temperatures.

With just a quick on-site training session, the team was able to operate the dozer safely and efficiently. Routine maintenance like air filter cleaning, greasing, and fueling with red diesel kept the machine running smoothly throughout the project.

A Model of Community Partnership

The Cat Rental Store in Butte, MT has once again proven that local partnerships can drive real change. By supporting nonprofits like the All American Ranch, they’re not just renting equipment—they’re investing in the future of their community.
