Bower Excavating LLC Pre-Retirement Auction

After nearly three decades in business, Bower Excavating LLC is preparing for its next chapter, and you’re invited to bid on an exceptional lineup of construction equipment.

Jeff Bower started Bower Excavating in 1998 with just a truck and a backhoe. By 2005, the company had become a highly respected name in the Bismarck–Mandan area, known for quality workmanship and meticulously maintained equipment.

As Jeff transitions the business to his two sons, he is offering select pieces of equipment that are no longer needed. These are true one-owner machines, complete with maintenance records, and some units still carry factory warranty.

This is an outstanding opportunity for contractors, excavators, municipalities, and construction professionals to purchase some of the cleanest, best-maintained equipment to hit the market.
