Matt Carney, who runs a number of outlets from his Rosedale property near Wellington, was entered into the nationwide contest after purchasing a Pentair pump from Dubbo based retailer Aquawest.

The pump didn't set Mr Carney back by much, but he'll be getting a Honda TRX250TM Quadbike worth thousands of dollars for his patronage.

"The pump was probably around that eight hundred dollar range, so yeah, it's a nice little bonus," Mr Carney said.

Mr Carney had intended to use the pump as a tool for jetting sheep, a practice that quickly and easily applies chemicals that can protect sheep against flies and lice.

Even though, Mr Carney didn't go into Dubbo looking to pick up a new quadbike, he had actually been in the market for one and was thrilled to win one given how tough conditions have been.

"It's pretty super, honestly. We were looking for a new one, actually," Mr Carney said.

"We lease a couple of different places, so it's nice to be able to leave a couple at each place and it makes it easier to cart things arround between them."

Scott Murray of Aquawest's sales division says the competition is a good opportunity for businesses to give back to those doing it tough during the current drought.

"That's one of the main reasons for this story, to me it's a good will story, it's just good news for people now, these fellows have been doing it very, very tough, I've known Matt and his mother and father for many years, and they're just good, nice, hard-working people, like everybody that's been struggling," Mr Murray said.

"To receive something back after all your hard work, it's just a really nice bonus."

Pentair's Dion Southon says the company's promotion came about due to their partnership with Honda.

"Basically, our BlazeMaster line of products have a Honda engine on the back of it... so being a Honda driven product, it was based around our engine driven pump that's powered by Honda," Mr Southon said.

Mr Southon and Mr Murray pegged the value of the quadbike substantially higher than the $800 buy-in that got Mr Carney into the competition.

"It's probably worth about $10,000 all up."
