Let me say first, that I'm not 100% sure of the facts but looking at Bobcat.com they state the history starting in 1958 with the purchase of rights. (a few tidbits not covered?)
Quality Equipment co. Austin (I'm surprised at no real website, but then not really) has, or had in their possession a swivel unit (#357 or very early) I'm pretty sure it predated 1958, and maybe 1957. The rear wheel was a dual wheel swivel unit, so not a true skid steer.
I had hoped to find a website by them, that might have a picture of it, think I might still have a 5X7 glossy, if I can locate I'll do the digital thing and try to learn how to post a picture.
Being a new member I'll try soon to introduce myself proper. this is a great website
Thanks
Ron
