It is impossible not to get excited about our
dynamic industry. We are still riding the high
of one of the biggest events for the year the
National Diesel, Dirt & Turf Expo. Australian
Earthmoving has been proud media partners
since the shows inception. It is inspiring to
see an exceptional show flourish in three short
years. The success can only be attributed to the
determination and drive of the dedicated D,D &
T team.

With this passion in mind we scoured the
country for other operations that have
experienced triumph in three years and
subsequently came across Bede Hutchinson
from Hutchinson Civil. With the support of his
team and local dealership Capital Equipment in
Albury, he has fast cemented himself as a major
player in the region. Bede loves his Kobelcos
and the pride of the fleet is his brand new
Kobelco SK135SR-5 which graces this month’s
front cover. You can read Bedes story on page
12.

This edition is very special, marking our 40th
edition. From the very start our vision has been
to deliver the best publication in the industry
through sharing the wealth of knowledge from
our incredible team of feature writers. We set
out to deliver information that is of value to
your business including showcasing the very
best equipment available today. Immediately
well received, Australian Earthmoving Magazine
quickly cemented itself as the leading source
of information to the earthmoving industry in
Australia and has grown considerably since it’s
humble beginnings.

We are extremely appreciative for your support
that has fostered the growth of the magazine to
the leading position it enjoys today. The biggest
thanks go to the innovative manufacturers and
dealerships that collaborate with Australian
Earthmoving. It is their pioneering products
that we showcase to you and you rely on as
key tools for enhancing your business. We only
feature the very best products available and are

proud to be aligned with the best manufacturers

in the world of earthmoving equipment.

There is a construction boom happening right

now across Australia with annual investment

set to double that of the annual investment of

the recent mining boom. Since the start of the

Australian Earthmoving I have never seen the

industry as powerful. Now is an exceptional

time to be a part of the earthmoving industry.

Don’t forget we are in the final year to take

advantage of the $20,000 immediate tax

write off on capital equipment. It is crucial to

take the time to invest in new machinery and

attachments to grow your business.

There is no better place to read about the latest

and greatest products available to you than our

regular What’s Hot feature on page 74 so get

planning, buy that new gear and take advantage

of the opportunities available to you right now.

Happy digging!
