Browsing tractors but not sure which fits you best? This article should help you understand the line-up available from Bobcat’s line-up. It’s valuable to know the meaning of each model’s name when browsing available machines; Where the second number of the four-digit name is ‘0’ this refers to an open cab, whereas 5 refers to a closed cab model and the last two numbers of models denotes the engine horsepower available.
Sub Compact Machines
These sub-compact sized machines are perfect for personal property and smaller scale tasks where maneuverability and nimbleness are more valuable than maximum power and lift capability. These machines are typically employed to level, load, mow, dig, trench & snowplow natural landscape grounds as these machines can complete the job at hand to a similar degree as their larger counterparts, though these larger machines have benefits of their own.
The Bobcat CT1000 platform offers between 21-25 horsepower in a compact frame able to maneuver around obstacles and tight spaces lifting to 700-lbs payload. This platform range can travel up to 17.8 kmph and is available with only a hydrostatic transmission, unlike the larger models with alternative options.
Compact Tractors
The Bobcat 2000 to 5000 series platform machines offer a stronger capability in larger bodies and boast the ability to take on larger responsibility. With a larger frame and powertrain, the compact series can help with further rugged tasks compared to sub-compact machines in commercial landscaping, farming, or ranch work on multiple acres of ground to be worked on. The wider range of attachments available to compact tractors compared to sub-compact models offer further versatility to owners and operators on the jobsite.
Compact models across the 2000, 4000 & 5000 series offers varied transmission options (manual, hydrostatic, synchro shuttle) compared to sub-compact machines. With larger bodies and engines these machines can lift with a capacity of up to 3,200-lbs with a travel speed of up to 29.7 kmph! Get jobs done with solid pace due to strong lifting capacity and quick movement.
