“As the official compact tractor of the PBR, Montana Tractors became interested in sponsoring a rider who displayed our values, work ethic, and had the same passion for his trade as we do our tractors,” said Ted Wade, Vice Chairman and Co-Owner of Montana Tractors.

“We decided Mike Lee was that rider.  If you know Mike, you know he has a traditional style of riding that is respected by bull riding legends, but you also understand Mike brings a new breed of excitement to his sport.  Montana Tractors has the same approach to building tractors.  We maintain the quality craftsmanship our customers expect and combine that with the new breed of design our customers deserve.”

As part of the sponsorship, Lee will be wearing the Montana Tractors logo on his chaps and the back of the vest.  Additionally, fans can look for Lee at upcoming BFTS events where he will be signing autographs in the Montana Tractor booth in the concourse.

“I am thrilled to be a part of the Montana Tractor team,” stated Mike Lee.  “I look forward to working with and riding for Montana Tractors.  I have already had a chance to meet some of the people involved with the company, and they have been great.  It is exciting to join a company who is excited about the PBR and I hope to have a long standing relationship with them,” continued Lee.   “I am also excited to get out and put my new Montana Tractor to use!” 

In just a few short years, the company’s vision of combining New-Age Tractor Technology with Old-School Values is becoming a reality.  Montana Tractors’ network of dealers across The United States and Canada has grown in number to over 300. The company strives to provide quality products that are fairly priced.
