Bobcat Works Out Market Needs

摘要

Since its inception six years earlier, the Toolcat had been billed by Bobcat as more of a work tool than the compact utility vehicles it's often compared to. With the most recent introduction of the new 5610 model, the message to the market is being reinforced.rn"Now that we've put the PTO and three-point hitch on it, they're truly seeing separation of the Toolcat from their typical Ranger or Mule. They're seeing it more as a working machine than a utility vehicle per se," says Rob Gilles, marketing manager with Bobcat, a subsidiary of Doosan Infra-core. "It's definitely different than anything else out there." The Toolcat 5610 is built on the same frame as the 59-horsepower, four-wheel-drive Toolcat 5600 now available in a D-Series model, but it features a three-point hitch and hydraulic power take-off (PTO) for rear implements. Since inception, the Toolcat has met with solid market success in the building and grounds market, explains Gilles, but less so in the agricultural and landscaping markets for which it was originally thought to be well suited.
