Feel the excitement as the "50 Years Unleashed" Road Tour travels to 23 locations, representing 100 Bobcat dealerships across North America in 2008. For the past three years, Bobcat Company historians have been gathering collections and preparing exhibits to be included in this one-of-a-kind traveling museum in celebration of our 50th anniversary.

The Bobcat North American Road Tour features a self-guided tour through a half-century of innovation. See displays of rare, historical Bobcat machines and memorabilia. Learn how it all began with Melroe Manufacturing and Louis and Cyril Keller who started factory production of the first self-propelled loaders in 1958. Follow the rich history through fifty years of compact equipment milestones in this once-in-a-lifetime experience. Bring home Road Tour souvenirs, only to be found at our dealer Road Tour events.

Dealers hosting the "50 Years Unleashed" Road Tour will also be sponsoring customer appreciation events in conjunction with the traveling museum. See the map for details on tour locations and participating dealers.

Read "50 Years Unleashed" to learn the full story of how the Bobcat skid-steer loader unleashed an entire industry and changed the way people work forever. You may also purchase 50th Anniversary memorabilia and collectibles at our online store.
