Bobcat gets it right

Selling good equipment is only part of great service. For this hobby farmer, Bobcat's after-sales attention really stood out.

George Michael has a hobby farm at Bilpin, an idyllic rural community in the foothills of the Blue Mountains to Sydney's northwest. An accountant by day, George cares for the 25-acre property and its sheep, alpacas, fruit and nut trees in his spare time, both as investment and for the enjoyment.

It's not George's first hobby farm, but this one is bigger, both in area and commitment, than his previous smallholding, and that had George looking at his alternatives for running and maintaining the place.

Stepping up

"This property is more country-style. It's a bit rougher, and there's a bit more maintenance and upkeep than the previous farm," George explained during a leisurely conversation with Landscape Contractor, "and we decided rather than paying contractors, we'd do the work ourselves."

That strategy meant some investment in suitable and economically viable machinery, and George turned to Clark Equipment at nearby Heatherbrae. George was already the happy owner of a Bobcat ZT3000 zero turn, and the experience left him with a favourable opinion of the Bobcat brand.
