A CONSTANT INNOVATOR In the late 1950s, a turkey farmer needed help – so in 1958 we introduced what was to become the world’s first skid-steer loader. We created an industry by listening to the needs of the customer. This focus is the same today. In 2000, a superinten- dent needed help – so we built the world’s first Toolcat utility work machine. We continue to be a global leader in innovation by listening to our customers.
