“We have a renewed focus on ‘voice of customer’ and research and development as our machines become Tier 4 compliant,” a Bobcat rep said during the press conference.
Bobcat started its celebration of its one millionth loader in January when it launched a contest to give away a Special Edition One-Millionth Bobcat Loader to whoever can best answer the question, “How does Bobcat make you unstoppable?”
The contest is open to the general public through June 30, and entries will be judged on completeness and creativity. Bobcat is also giving smaller prizes to weekly and monthly winners who go on to qualify for the grand prize. The contest is open to residents of the continental United States and Canada, excluding Quebec.
