Colt Case Ingersoll Garden Tractors

Just being the devils advocate on the Ingersoll / Ingersoll Rand discussion... Perhaps they are confused by seeing old Bobcat skid steers - Bobcat was a subsidiary of Ingersoll Rand from '95 to '07 (it was then sold to Doosan) Many of the old ones had prominent "Ingersoll Rand" logos on them...

Many of the Old Bobcats had Ingersoll Rand logos on them? Bobcats were never used much in my local area. There was a dealer in Buffalo but not in Lockport until ten years ago. Not just three miles from my house there is a huge Bobcat Doosan Morbark dealer. From small Bobcats to very large excavators. They just dozed another space for a larger parking lot and adding an addition on the building. In my mind when I hear Case Ingersoll, I think hydraulic. When I hear Ingersoll Rand I think pneumatic.

Bobcat skid steers have had an interesting corporate life... Melroe, Clark, Ingersoll-Rand, and finally Doosan, I've also seen them with the IR Swoosh logo on the sides... I'll agree that my first thought of Ingersoll-Rand is pneumatics, air tools, industrial compressors and rock drills...
