Behind the Scenes of Jeepin' With Judd 2023: How A SANY Excavator Transforms An Off-Road Course

Every year at the end of February, the Clear Springs Ranch in Polk County, Florida, opens its gates to over 2,200 Jeeps for a three-day, family-friendly Jeep festival that offers everything from obstacle courses to trail rides and more. During this 9th year of the event, Newman Tractor was proud to participate yet again as a sponsor, providing the heavy equipment that built the courses and saved the Jeeps that got stuck!

From August to February, the Orlando Jeep Club and Polk Sherrif’s Office work hard to prep for the annual event in Bartow. The SANY SY265C excavator is put to work to build steep inclines, sharp turns, rocky paths, and other obstacles that will put your driving skills to the test. This powerful machine is capable of handling even the toughest terrain and heaviest materials to make the perfect obstacles for Jeeps.

But why choose SANY over other heavy equipment brands like Komatsu, Caterpillar or John Deere to build such a course? Doug Tanner explains that the SANY is his top choice for operating ease, machine power, and fuel consumption that lets him hit the course hard all day long.

In this behind-the-scenes video, you'll learn what the SANY SY265C Excavator can do to dig dirt, move rock, transport cylinders, and so much more to make this course brand new for the jeepers at this year's event! Join us as we take a closer look at how Doug Tanner, founder of Jeepin’ With Judd, uses the Newman Tractor SANY SY265C excavator to create the most challenging and exciting course yet!
