NEW PLAYER ENTERS GROUNDS EQUIP MARKET

Following on from its launch in the North American market, Bobcat’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 announced at Bauma 2022, which took place recently in Munich.

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.”

Compact Tractors - The company is offering three compact tractor platforms - the 1000, 2000 and 4000 series - which feature nine new models. Each model varies in size and engine horsepower, with the option to choose between manual and hydrostatic transmissions, and open canopies (ROPS) and cabs. 

Mowers - Following the acquisition of Bob-Cat Mowers, Bobcat is introducing a large family of mowers, wth models including ride-on, stand-on and commercial walk-behind mowers, aimed at both lawn-care professionals and residential users.

Loaders - Bobcat’s GME range includes the recently launched MT100 mini track loader, and L23 and L28 small articulated loaders that entered the market last year.

Turf Equipment - Following its acquisition of Ryan Turf Equipment, the company is offering an expanded portfolio including aerators, power rakes and dethachers, overseeders and sod cutters.

Gul Nalcaci concluded by saying that Bobcat's GME customers will benefit from their "already-established service and logistics network, which covers every corner of the EMEA region."
