Jarryd McNeil x Caterpillar

Jarryd McNeil, a.k.a. Jazza, has been riding dirt bikes since he was two and winning medals since he was nine, but he’s also been operating heavy machinery since his feet could reach the pedals of his father’s equipment.

At 14 years old, Jarryd got his hands on the controls of his neighbor’s Cat^® skid steer. Since then, it’s been nothing but yellow iron for his farm and track-building projects.

When he isn’t tearing up dirt on two wheels or spending time with his two-year-old son, Jarryd is dreaming up track designs and shaping dirt to match with his Cat machines. There’s nothing better than building your own setup in your backyard. For Jarryd, it’s “a comfortable place where we can train and try new tricks without pressure.”

Why Cat equipment? To Jarryd, it’s about the “vast availability of parts and the overall quality of the machine.” It’s also the excellent support he gets from his local Quinn Cat dealer. Whether he needs to acquire new equipment or upgrade the coupler on his Cat 289D skid steer, the team from Quinn is ready to jump in and support Jarryd — so he can focus on more important things like landing the trick.
