Bobcat also has plants in Bismarck, N.D.; Wahpeton, N.D.; Pont-Château, France; Wujiang, China; and Dob?íš, Czech Republic.

Bobcat has added two models to its utility vehicle lineup: the 3600 and 3650.
Mounted on the left Bob-Tach mount, the Bobcat rebar bender attachment comes with five mandrels that provide the ability to bend rebar into a variety of angles and repeat bends for added efficiency and consistency, the company says.
Asphalt Preservation Tools system consists of an infrared asphalt heater and an asphalt processor that is compatible with 12 Bobcat skid steer and compact track loaders.
Bobcat’s single-direction vibratory plate compactors compact granular soils and crushed aggregates to depths from 12 to 16.5 inches.
Bobcat S510, S530, S550, S570 and S590 skid-steer loaders, and T550 and T590 compact track loaders are M Series upgrades to the company’s K Series units.
The T880’s cab is 8 inches wider and the hood’s sculpted lines are smoother than what have been seen for 27 years on T800 trucks, like those at right. New complex-reflector headlamps are flush with fenders and use inexpensive halogen bulbs. As with all T-series Kenworths, the 880 has a setback steer axle.
