Has anyone seen this? I just found it. Here is the link to the details. WOW! http://usa.doosaninfracore.co.kr/DIA/PressView.aspx?seq=67&cur=1
I spoke to our local dealer hear a couple of weeks ago and they said that Bobcat will continue to use Kubota power and not Doosan. The Doosan skidsteer looks like a pretty basic machine with Cummins power? I wonder if Doosan will continue to manufacture their brand and if the Bobcat dealers will carry both. Also how will it effect pricing?I think there was a post here a few months back about this. Essentially there was no change to the way Bobcat was to operate.
I can tell you this is there is already a team at Bobcat from Doosan to bring the two companies together. I would think as Doosan owns an environmentally friendly engine manufacturing facility you'll at some time see their engines. The rest of the story is yet to unfold.I spoke to our local dealer hear a couple of weeks ago and they said that Bobcat will continue to use Kubota power and not Doosan.

I found an article in a ND newspaper mostly about the 2500 workers, who were concerned about work rules, Doosan said everything will remain the same. A few months ago I was talking to a BC mechanic about training, he said they are sent to ND once in a while for training on new machines, I thought is was funny when he said most of the workers are of viking heritage!.I can tell you this is there is already a team at Bobcat from Doosan to bring the two companies together.
