Hosted by HD Hyundai Construction Equipment North America, the National Equipment League is a new entertainment and competition platform that showcases the skills, character and passion of the construction industry through competition.
Furnace, of Howell, Michigan, is the owner/operator of his own earthmoving business who also hosts his own YouTube channel, Diesel & Iron. The competition has been documented over the course of four events, which can be viewed here:

Additional competitors in the first events include Mike Simon (AKA Dirt Perfect), Andrew Camarata, Dave Buchakian and Geoff Dodge.
Mr. Digg Ryan Williams served as a member of the broadcast team. All events were filmed at the HD Hyundai Customer Product Center in Carnesville, Georgia, and broadcast via YouTube.
“The first events proved that skilled heavy equipment operation in head-to-head competition is entertaining, educational, and highlights the talents of the workforce in the construction industry,” says Bill Elverman, commissioner, National Equipment League. “As in any professional sporting event, we see that lead changes, scoreboard jockeying and often just a few seconds between competitors create compelling entertainment. Hyundai hosted a great competition and has shown its commitment to showcasing the talents and passion of the construction industry.”
The first series of National Equipment League events can be seen on the Hyundai Construction Equipment North America YouTube and Facebook channels.
Additional promotional considerations were made possible by Blue Diamond Attachments. For more information on the National Equipment League, or to inquire about competing in and sponsoring/participating in future events, email Commish@EquipmentLeague.com, or fill out the form at EquipmentLeague.com.
