Salina, KS — Bobcat of Salina has achieved a major milestone, being named the #1 Construction Dealer in the United States for 2024. The recognition marks a proud moment for the only family-owned Bobcat dealer in the state of Kansas, reflecting two decades of dedication, customer trust, and small-town values that have fueled statewide success.
For over 20 years, Bobcat of Salina has built its reputation on reliable service, community connection, and a commitment to Kansas customers — from family farms to major construction sites. Despite its statewide reach, the dealership has kept its “small town feel,” a quality that owners say remains the heart of their business.
“We’re incredibly grateful for the support of our customers and community over the past two decades,” said the ownership team. “Being recognized as the #1 Construction Dealer in the country is a reflection of the hard work and dedication of our entire team.”
As Bobcat of Salina continues to expand service across Kansas, the dealership remains rooted in the same values that shaped its early days — personal service, hands-on expertise, and a deep pride in being Kansas-built and family-run.
That same legacy extends west through Bobcat of Hays, where customers can expect the full experience that has made Bobcat of Salina the nation’s top construction dealer. The Hays location offers complete access to Bobcat equipment, genuine parts, and a team of factory-trained technicians providing both in-house and on-site service. Whether it’s routine maintenance, emergency repairs, or major equipment upgrades, Bobcat of Hays delivers the same standard of care, reliability, and professionalism that Kansas customers have come to trust.
Everything available in Salina — from sales to service to parts — is available in Hays, with the same family ownership ensuring every customer receives hometown service with statewide strength.
Celebrating 20 Years with John Stover
The team also celebrated a special milestone within the milestone — 20 years with senior sales lead John Stover, who joined Bobcat of Salina in May 2005.
Stover has been a cornerstone of the dealership since the beginning, helping drive both its reputation and its success across Kansas. His experience and customer-first approach have made him a trusted name among contractors and builders throughout the region.
“John started with us the same year we opened, and he’s been a key part of our growth every step of the way,” the owners shared. “We wouldn’t be where we are today without his commitment and leadership.”
As Bobcat of Salina celebrates this dual milestone — 20 years of service and national recognition — the message remains clear: the business may have grown, but its roots run deep in Salina soil.
