Miller-Bradford & Risberg, the Case dealer, will host an open house at its Rockford, Ill., facility, May 8 from 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m and May 9 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The facility is located at 3737 11th St.

At the event, Case and Kobelco equipment will be available to test drive, and complimentary brats, burgers, beer and soda will be served.

A military issue compact track loader finished in camouflage will be on display, presenting the perfect photo opportunity, complete with full body armor to don. Anyone interested in off-road equipment is invited to attend.

“We are all excited to have this opportunity to host our customers, neighbors, and anyone interested in heavy equipment,” said Dave Bawinkel, manager of Miller-Bradford & Risberg’s Rockford location. “We’re looking forward to showing off our equipment and our facility and to meeting new businesses in the area.”

Both full size and mini excavators manufactured by Case and Kobelco will be onsite to experience. Demonstrations of several new models of Case equipment will be available, as well, including the Case Series 3 skid steers and compact track loaders, Case E Series wheel loaders, and a Case 580SM loader/backhoe.
