Ditch Witch Teams with Oklahoma Wildcatters
Ditch Witch, a leading manufacturer of underground construction equipment, on June 1 announced a new partnership with the Oklahoma Wildcatters, which competes in the PBR (Professional Bull Riders) Teams league. The agreement unites two Oklahoma organizations defined by resilience, instinct and the ability to deliver when the pressure is on.
In professional bull riding, everything comes down to eight critical seconds. On the jobsite, underground construction crews face moments where timelines tighten and every decision carries weight. Whether it is covering the ride or completing a critical bore, success depends on focus, preparation and execution when it matters most.
“For us, this partnership reflects a shared mentality,” said Kevin Smith, president of Ditch Witch. “Our customers and these athletes both thrive in rugged environments where time is money. It’s a natural fit because they are both built the same way. Built like you.”
“Ditch Witch represents many of the same qualities our team and fans value,” said Brandon Bates, CEO, Oklahoma Wildcatters. “This partnership brings together two organizations connected by resilience, earned trust and the ability to deliver in demanding situations. There is a natural authenticity between the people who support this sport and the people who keep critical infrastructure projects moving every day.”
Headquartered in Perry, Oklahoma, Ditch Witch has supported underground construction crews for more than 75 years, designing rugged and reliable equipment to help crews operate confidently in unpredictable environments all over the world.
The partnership also highlights the strong Oklahoma roots shared by both organizations. From Perry to Oklahoma City, Ditch Witch and the Wildcatters represent hardworking people who value resilience and pride in doing difficult jobs the right way.
“We see a real connection between the Wildcatters, our customers and the crews who rely on our equipment every day,” Smith said. “Both are made up of people who show up ready, stay focused and deliver when it matters most.”
As part of the partnership, Ditch Witch branding will appear throughout the Wildcatters season alongside fan engagement activities and promotional initiatives throughout the year.
Wildcatter Days will be held July 31 – August 2 at Paycom Center in Oklahoma City. Tickets can be purchased at pbr.com or thewildcatters.com.
