Compact Track Loaders

Why Compact Track Loaders? 2 Since inventing the world’s first true compact loader in 1958, Bobcat has constantly improved on its original concept: a tough, agile and versatile compact machine that can tackle an incredible number of jobs. I Today, the innovation continues. The Bobcat® compact track loader features a superior design that outperforms other brands while maximizing your uptime and delivering unmatched comfort.

Big Results – Small Package Compact track loaders weigh more than skid-steer loaders of the same size. Thanks to tracks, that weight is spread out over a wider area for increased flotation, minimal ground disturbance, higher pushing force and better lifting of larger loads. Designed for Durability Heavy-duty construction, component protection and superior design with minimal moving parts increase the service life of your loader – no matter which undercarriage you choose. Superior Pushing Force With more surface area in contact with the ground, direct-drive motors and a perfect balance between...

Great performance doesn’t only come from a high horsepower engine. Bobcat loaders use the machine’s design and balance to deliver more usable horsepower. We build machines with the right balance between engine and pump, plus a weight distribution that delivers powerful breakout forces and faster cycle times. If you need to work quicker, lift more and outperform the competition, Bobcat compact track loaders are the only choice. Stronger Hydraulics With up to 20 percent more hydraulic horsepower than K-Series Bobcat loaders, the Bobcat engine, pump, horsepower and cubic-inch displacement are configured...

Hydraulic Bucket Positioning Optional hydraulic bucket positioning keeps your bucket level when raising lift arms, reducing spillage and allowing you to work more efficiently. Powerful Breakout Forces High-efficiency hydraulic pumps deliver more power matched to demand and provide better breakout forces. More Torque Bobcat loaders reach maximum torque at a lower rpm to minimize stalling while saving time and fuel. Control in Your Hands With Bobcat compact track loaders, you can feel and control the loader's drive, engine torque and tractive effort - so you can push your machine to the limit without...

The NEW Bobcat Undercarriage The new Bobcat compact track loader undercarriage delivers improved ride quality, more durability and extra productivity – with the maintenance benefits of all-steel durability. Improved Track Carriage Cleanout The new, redesigned track-tensioning assembly allows for horizontal track tensioning, improving the cleanout area as a result. This tensioning housing features a beveled frame to shed material out of the undercarriage as the loader operates throughout the day. Better Ride Quality A dual-flange front idler rides on rubber to dampen vibration from the ground....

Built Tougher Forged-Steel Rollers and Idlers Steel idlers guide and support the track around the ends of the undercarriage. The dual-flange front idlers are wider, providing more contact with the tracks and enabling a smoother ride. They even absorb shock loads to provide better operator comfort. The idlers are also part of a simple system for maintaining track tension. The forged steel is more durable than rubber and will not wear as easily or chunk out. Elevated Sprocket Design Elevated sprockets shed mud and debris as you work and reduce wear. Exclusive Bobcat Tracks A wide variety of Bobcat...

Smart Cooling The Bobcat cooling system is smarter because of its superior protection, dual-path cooling efficiency and exclusive SmartFAN. Quieter Operation Up to 30 percent quieter than ordinary cooling fans, the hydraulically powered SmartFAN senses the temperature of the machine and only turns as fast as needed. Work in extreme conditions with less concern about overheating. More Efficient Cooling Bobcat loaders have a patented, dualpath cooling system that draws cool, clean air from above, pulls warm air out of the engine compartment and forces it out two side vents, directing hot air away...

Superior Lift Arms Your loader arms should remain rigid when you move with a load, and hydraulic hoses should be protected from the hazards of a jobsite. Bobcat knows this better than anyone. Our durable, patented liftarm design and a choice of lift path help you meet the unique demands of your job. Higher lift, more capacity and reach at maximum height Vertical Lift Path A vertical lift path provides higher lift capacity and more reach at full lift height than radius lift path, keeping the load closer to the machine while you raise the loader arms. Because you achieve maximum reach at full lift...

Job-Matched Lift Arms A vertical lift path and radius lift path each have their advantages. Bobcat builds both styles to match the work you do. Single-Plane Design Every pin and connecting point on Bobcat lift arms are part of a singleplane design. Side-to-side movement is minimized, resulting in less wear and longer life. It also helps prevent unwanted spillage of material. Radius Lift Path Radius lift path provides maximum reach at truck bed height. Arm movement forms an arc. More than 80 percent of that arc delivers better reach at truck bed height. A radius lift path excels in jobs at mid-range...

Deluxe Instrumentation BobCARE PM Maintenance Screen Reminds you when scheduled maintenance is due to ensure you maximize your performance. SM The M-Series deluxe instrument panel offers you even more functionality. The 5-inch, full-color LCD screen enables monitoring of and interaction with your machine. The system can even provide information about machine performance in English, Spanish and five other languages. Activity Monitor Check machine usage by operator with the job clock feature. Functional Lockouts Protect your investment from misuse or accidental use by locking out certain functions...

Theft Protection According to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, $3 million in compact equipment is lost each day to thieves. Compact loaders are one of the most stolen pieces of compact equipment in the world. Reduce the risk of loss due to theft or unauthorized use with the optional password-protected Bobcat deluxe instrument panel and up to eight custom keyless start codes. It may even qualify your business for reduced insurance premiums. Optional Keyless Panel If you’re not ready for the robust functionality of deluxe instrumentation, but you’d like the convenience of keyless start with...
