New Bobcat Dealership Opens in Arkansas

Oct. 15, 2019

Bobcat of Independence County is a new dealer for Bobcat. Located in Batesville, Arkansas, the distributor is authorized to provide new and used sales, service, and parts.

Steve Merritt, owner, has run Merritt Equipment Co. for more than 40 years and opened Venture Equipment in 2006. This new dealership will serve customers in north central Arkansas.

“We have a rich history in the light construction equipment business and loyal customers in the area,” Merritt says. “Bobcat is a marquee product line that has few, if any, gaps in their lineup. Customers have different needs, and we’ll have the opportunity to serve them with options that other brands simply don’t have.”

The dealership offers financing, free delivery within 10 miles, and parts and service personnel availability 24/7, 365 days a year.

“Bobcat is the leader in skid steer loader technologies, being the first company to build the unit, and the name in itself explains what the unit is,” Merritt says. “Customers are looking for a Bobcat skid-steer—why not give them exactly what they’re asking for?”
