Bobcat industrial tractors

Bobcat is a construction equipment manufacturer located in the United States and is a subsidiary of Doosan Infracore. The company’s origins trace back to 1958, when Melroe Manufacturing started selling the first skid-steer loaders and adopted the Bobcat name for their loaders in 1960. In 2001, Bobcat’s then-parent company, Ingersoll-Rand, acquired the Czech Republic-based backhoe manufacturer EarthForce and introduced backhoes under the Bobcat brand. This backhoe line was produced until 2007, when Bobcat shifted its focus to selling compact tractors manufactured by Daedong, which could be equipped with loader and backhoe attachments.
