Contracting in north-central Minnesota became a little more convenient Oct. 8 when Bobcat of Brainerd opened its doors to the public.

The new 20,000-sq.-ft. facility at 11570 MN-371 serves all of Crow Wing County, an area of some 1,100 sq. mi. with a population of more than 60,000. Before its completion, the closest Bobcat dealer was 35 mi. away.

Bobcat of Brainerd's new facility carries a broad selection of new and used inventory for sale or rent, as well as parts for all product lines. With five bays, the service department can accommodate full-sized machines, and with five techs, it can turn jobs around in short order.

The staff takes part in factory training for all of Bobcat of Brainerd's product lines, and between hands-on and online learning, General Manager Dan Olson said, that training will amount to hundreds of hours per employee a year.

Currently, Bobcat of Brainerd is a Bobcat, Doosan, Powerscreen, MultiQuip, Big Tow, and Telsmith dealer.

Bobcat is an industry leader in the upper Midwest, in terms of market share, Olson said, and to date, business at Bobcat of Brainerd has been solid.
