Time-Tested Reliability

Bobcat compact track loaders represent almost 50 years of advancement in compact equipment technology. They possess the same high level of reliability, durability, ease of maintenance and dealer service and support Bobcat customers have come to expect.

Models to Choose From

The perfect balance between physical size and performance is important in every application. Maximize your production by choosing the right machinef or your job. Bobcat offers FIVE compact track loader models ranging from 56 to 80 inches wide and 46 to 81 hp.

Big Results – Small Package

Compact track loaders weigh significantly more than skid-steer loaders of the same size. This gives them higher pushing force and allows large loads to be lifted. At the same time, by distributing the weight of the machine over a large area, they provide increased flotation and minimal ground disturbance. And because maneuverability is so important, all Bobcat models offer the best horse power to weight ratio in the market.

Designed for Durability

Bobcat compact track loaders last longer in more demanding environments than any other track loader. They have a fully enclosed steel undercarriage with very few moving parts to minimize maintenance costs. Steel rollers and idlers are permanently sealed and lubricated, requiring no routine maintenance. Even the exclusive C-pattern rubber track has steel cables and imbeds to increase service life.

Forged Rollers:

Forged rollers guide and support the center track area.

• Triple flange design minimizes de-tracking
• Permanently sealed and lubricated requiring no routine maintenance.
• Improve ride and overall track life.
• More durable than rubber coated rollers.

Single Flange Steel Idlers:

• Single flange idlers guide and support the track around the ends of the undercarriage.
• More tolerant of debris than dual flange idlers so de-tracking is minimized.
• Permanently sealed and lubricated requiring no routine maintenance.
• Front idlers absorb shock loads and are part of a simple system which helps maintain track tension.

Easiest Track Maintenance in the Industry:

Track tension is easily adjusted by opening an access cover and adding grease to the tensioning cylinder with a common grease gun. The elevated sprocket design sheds mud and debris as you work, reducing wear on both sprockets and tracks. The fully-enclosed undercarriage has very few moving parts and is more tolerant of debris. Bobcat chose this undercarriage because open systems allow more material to collect and wear on components.

Exclusive C-Pattern Rubber Track:

Custom made for Bobcat and designed and built for the longest service life possible. The C-pattern design provides the best combination between flotation and traction. These durable rubber tracks feature three main components:

• Internal steel cables similar to steel belted radial tires provide a strong base.
• Steel imbeds guide and support the center of the track when engaging the drive sprocket, adding to durability.
• Special rubber compound is molded around the cables and imbeds to produce a strong, continuous rubber track reducing fatigue and cracking.
• Off-set Lugs for smoother ride.

Solid-Mounted Track Undercarriage:

The solid-mounted undercarriage provides the traction necessary to work in soft conditions like mud, sand, manure, and dirt. Its design also stabilizes the loader and the work group—making it the best type of undercarriage for grading.

• Consistent tractive effort improves pushing power
• Produces a more level grade than other track systems
• Permits higher tipping loads for improved performance when carrying materials

A Smoother Ride

By distributing machine weight over a larger area, C-Pattern tracks also produce a smoother ride. Bobcat compact track loaders ride over the top of rough terrain, such as ruts or potholes, and improve ride quality without sacrificing either grading performance or durability.

Superior Pushing Force

With more surface area in contact with the ground, compact track loaders provide more tractive effort than wheeled compact loaders. The pushing force of Bobcat compact track loaders is second to none due to direct-drive motors, a solid-mounted undercarriage, and a balance between machine weight and horsepower.

Expand Your Season

With the weight of the machine spread over a larger area, compact track loaders have a lower ground pressure than tire loaders. This increases flotation and allows you to work more productively in soft, sandy, wet or muddy conditions, where other machines aren’t as effective. Some customers have added 10 days, or more, of extra income, per machine, in a season.

This increased flotation also allows you to travel over existing lawns and turn on turf with less ground disturbance. Fewer repairs to existing surfaces mean lower on-site costs and more profit! Many Bobcat compact track loaders offer more than one track option to ensure you have the ground pressure and flotation required by your application.
