Tilcon New York Leases 12 JCBs at Peak of Performance →

Penguins Fan Drives Away With Customized Skid Steer →

From Construction Equipment Guide... Dan Winkle is a lifelong Pittsburgh Penguins fan and a season-ticket holder since 1998. But when he ordered a Cat 246D skid steer loader from Cleveland Brothers, he didn’t ask specifically for a Penguins-branded machine.

Cyril Keller Recalls Entrepreneurial Skid Steer Gamble →

From Construction Equipment Guide... In 1958, Louis Keller drove his truck into the barnyard of western Minnesota turkey farmer John Sonstegard. He entered the building where Sonstegard was working and told the farmer he had a machine outside that would efficiently clean his manure-laden barns. The farmer agreed to take a look at it. It was not love at first sight. "When we clean barns, we clean barns," Sonstegard scolded Keller. "I don't need a toy." The rejection was classic, for Keller's "toy" was the progenitor of the modern skid steer compact loader — specifically, the Bobcat loader. Click for more...
