WEST FARGO, N.D. (April 12, 2024) – Bobcat Company won the Green Industry Pros’ (GIP) 2024 Mower Madness Competition with its newly introduced ZT5000 zero-turn mower.
GIP hosts the social media event modeled after the NCAA Basketball March Madness Tournament with a Sweet Sixteen, Elite Eight, Final Four and Championship Game.
