BOBCAT has announced that, following on from its success in the North American market, the manufacturer’s line-up of ground maintenance equipment (GME) is now available to customers across the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region.
The news was confirmed during bauma 2022.
Gul Nalcaci, senior product manager for the company’s GME range, said, “Bobcat aims to rank within the top-three GME manufacturers in Europe. To achieve this ambitious goal, we are rolling out our ground maintenance machinery across the region.
“Bobcat’s EMEA offering will include compact tractors, zero-turn mowers and turf equipment, which is supplemented by the company’s existing mini track and small articulated loaders.”
The company is offering three compact tractor platforms – the 1000, 2000 and 4000 series – which feature nine new models designed to meet the needs of EMEA customers. Each model varies in size and engine horsepower, with the option to choose between manual and hydrostatic transmissions, and open canopies (ROPS) and cabs.
Bobcat’s compact tractors can be equipped with front, mid and rear connections and power take-offs. The Bob-Tach system comes as standard on all front-end loader platforms, enabling users to switch attachments for multiple jobs.
Following the acquisition of Bob-Cat Mowers, Bobcat is introducing a family of ‘rugged’ mowers to the entire EMEA region. Models will include ride-on, stand-on and commercial walk-behind mowers.
Aimed at both lawn-care professionals and residential users, Bobcat mowers are equipped with cutting decks available in a variety of sizes.
Bobcat’s GME range includes the recently launched MT100 mini track loader, and L23 and L28 small articulated loaders. These machines are said to remove the need for manual labour, replacing the use of wheelbarrows, shovels and hand tools across multiple ground applications.
Following its acquisition of Ryan Turf Equipment, Bobcat is offering turf-care equipment across the EMEA region. This expanded portfolio of machinery includes aerators, power rakes and dethachers, overseeders, and sod cutters.
Gul Nalcaci added, “All of our ground maintenance machines are tough and versatile, delivering excellent productivity, superior comfort and maximum uptime. With an extensive catalogue of proven attachments, Bobcat provides solutions to meet every demand in the ground maintenance sector.
“What’s more, GME customers will benefit from Bobcat’s already-established service and logistics network, which covers every corner of the EMEA region.”
