The story of Bobcat traces back to the early 1900s, where the Keller brothers honed their skills—Cyril with an understanding of business strategy, and Louis with a knack for engineering and machinery in their modest farming community of Minnesota. They gained a reputation as skilled mechanics among local farmers, but the breakthrough moment came in 1956 when local turkey farmer Eddie Velo approached them with a challenge: to create a compact machine capable of swiftly clearing manure from the cramped second floor of his barn. The resulting invention, a small three-wheeled loader that could pivot within its own footprint, laid the foundation for what would eventually become Bobcat.
