JOHNSON CREEK, Wis. – Schiller Grounds Care, a manufacturer of lawn and garden power equipment, has acquired all of the assets related to the Eastman Industries 21-inch commercial heavy-duty mower family. The new models in the acquisition will be added to Schiller’s BOB-CAT brand of commercial mowers.
BOB-CAT currently offers full-size, commercial walk-behind mowers with deck sizes from 32-61 inches. With this addition, BOB-CAT further expands their offerings to lawn care professionals by rounding out their walk-behind lineup.
