obcat compact machines and attach-
ments that will add value to any farm
by making light work of a wide range
of agricultural tasks will be showcased at
Nampo 2016.
“When a difficult economic climate makes
the going tough, farmers can count on tough
Bobcat machines and attachments that de-
liver lowest possible cost of ownership and
quick return on investment,” says Bobcat
Equipment National Sales Manager, Andre
Steenkamp.
Over 50 years of experience in the design
and construction of compact equipment have
been harnessed into every Bobcat machine
and attachment. The design principles of
quality, high performance, efficiency, durabil-
ity, easy maintenance and operator comfort
are inherent to every Bobcat. Add a remark-
able assortment of attachments and each
machine is transformed into a tough versatile
multi-tool that takes care of a wide range of
farming applications quickly, efficiently and
affordably. “It is simply impossible for a farm-
er to own or rent a machine for every job on
the farm. Taking on a multitude of tasks, the
Bobcat is an adaptable farm-hand that deliv-
ers maximum availability and uptime, lowest
possible cost of ownership and quick return
on investment,” says Steenkamp.
Alongside the Bobcat TL 358 Agri telehan-
dler, the S650B skidsteer loader and the
E17 mini-excavator, attachments including
augers, bale spikes, dumping hoppers, farm
utility grapples, landplanes, pallet forks and
skeleton buckets will show off their prowess
at the agricultural show in May.
With its innovative design and state-of-the-

art technologies, the Bobcat telehandler
excels in the most demanding agricultural
applications. This compact, strong and agile
machine will quickly become irreplaceable
on farms.
The outstanding power and hydraulic perfor-
mance, combined with a completely re-engi-
neered cab, ensure that the Bobcat skidsteer
loader will do more and do it faster and bet-
ter than its nearest rival.
The superior working range of the val-
ue-for-money E17 gives this Bobcat mini-ex-
cavator extreme versatility while a thick steel
tailgate, side covers and oversized cylinders
achieve exceptional durability.
With the establishment of its Used Equip-
ment Division, Bobcat is making it even eas-
ier for customers to invest in a Bobcat and
reap all the benefits offered by these com-
pact machines. “Machines and attachments,
fully refurbished to OE quality, are available
at extremely affordable prices from our Used
Equipment Division,” comments Steenkamp.
Farmers are assured of rapid product and
service support from Bobcat’s strategical-
ly located branch network. “We recently
opened a new, fully equipped office and
workshop in Nelspruit, Mpumalanga, which
we share with Goscor Lift Truck Company.
“This has gained us a firm foothold in the
Lowveld area of Mpumalanga, across a large
part of Limpopo and into Mozambique to
bring products, parts and services closer to
all our customers in the region,” concludes
Steenkamp.
Alongside Bobcat, two other companies in
the Goscor Group, Goscor Hi-Reach and
Goscor Power Products, will also exhibit their
agricultural product offerings on stand 56 A
– C at Nampo 2016.
