“I’m thrilled to have been named the winner,” Nilsen said. “I can’t wait to try out the Kobelco 55SRx excavator. The one-year lease will help out my business a lot.”

A family-owned and operated business, Nilsen Topsoil has specialized in topsoil screening and residential excavation work for 20 years.

Harter Equipment, a Kobelco dealership in Millstone Township, N.J., will provide the leased 55SRx compact excavator to Nilsen.
