Bobcat Company is a North Dakota -based agricultural and construction equipment manufacturing company. It was originally called the Melroe Manufacturing Company, and the name Bobcat was first voiced in 1962, as one of the loader models was named. The company gained popularity mainly due to the first mini-loader, invented almost 50 years ago in the United States for the mechanization of labor-intensive loading and unloading operations on farms.
