The Bobcat Certified program with pre-owned machines is gradually gaining traction across Europe, offering a valuable solution for dealerships and customers alike. In Latvia, Kono has taken a significant step by certifying its first pre-owned machine: the E50 (2019) with 2006 hours. This milestone marks an important moment for both the dealership and the local market.

For dealerships like Kono, the Bobcat Certified program opens doors to a wider range of machines, helping them better meet diverse customer needs and attract first-time Bobcat buyers. Certified machines are easier to sell, offering customers confidence in their quality and reliability. Each machine undergoes rigorous inspections, uses genuine Bobcat parts, and includes a 12-month warranty—giving buyers peace of mind that their investment will deliver dependable performance.

Dealerships also see direct benefits. Bobcat Certified machines sell faster and at higher prices, helping dealers clear inventory and maximize revenue. The program strengthens customer trust, positioning dealerships as reliable providers of top-tier equipment. Kono, for example, is already certifying its second machine, reflecting their confidence in the program’s business potential.

While the Bobcat Certified Pre-Owned program is still gaining traction across the network, successes like Kono’s demonstrate its potential to drive growth. By emphasizing quality and reliability, the program is creating new opportunities for dealers and delivering trusted Bobcat machines to buyers.

Did you know the program also includes a dedicated online platform for trading used machines with other dealers? This means you can find specific machines your customers need—even if they’re not in your inventory. With Bobcat Certified, you’ll never have to turn a buyer away!
