Easy-Pull, Easy-Secure Side Window: Simply pull the new window knob to slide the side window to five lockable positions. The window stays exactly where you want it to get consistent air flow.

Extra Elbow Room, Easier Cleaning: Windows are mounted on the outside of the Roll-Over Protection System (ROPS) – which provides extra elbow room in the cab, and makes window cleaning much faster.

Fingertip Controls: Bobcat control of attachment hydraulics leads the industry. Attachments are more comfortable to operate, controlled easily and adjusted simply from the fingertip controls.

Flexible Joystick Positioning / Seat-Mounted Joystick Control: Joystick mounts on our SJC- equipped (Selectable Joystick Controls) machines slide forward and backward independent of the seat, adjusting to the individual comfort positions of different-sized operators. The seat-mounted joystick control provides flexible control through seat-mounted joysticks on models with optional SJC; as the suspension seat shifts up and down, the joysticks move with the seat.

Foot Well Cleaning Access: Two cleanout holes in the foot well allow for easier removal of mud and debris that enter the cab.

Heat and Air Conditioning: Because our optional AC units are integrated into the machine, there is no bulky add-on unit to obstruct your visibility. Automotive-style vents allow you to point the air where you need it for greater comfort in all weather conditions.

Large Entry/Exit: On machines with enclosed cabs, Bobcat provides a large swing open door to make it easier to enter and exit the cab. A lowered door threshold gives you increased visibility to your attachment and the surrounding work area – making it easier to see and do your work.

More Room: Our stronger, narrower loader arms make a wider cab possible, with up to 20% more interior space than competitors, keeping you comfortable.

Operator Switches: Puts important controls in front of you on the cab corner posts.

Pressurized Cab: Bobcat loaders with enclosed cabs have a best-in-class, pressurized interior space that helps keep dust to a minimum. A new, one-piece pressure seat engages the entire door on the front and sides, compressing the door seal into a specialized curved door pocket keeping dust and debris out of the cab. Need proof that Bobcat has the best pressurized cab? Watch the Bobcat Advantage Cab Comparison video.

Quieter Operation: The sound within the cab is reduced by more than 60% for a more comfortable and quieter working environment. Quieter than ordinary cooling fans, Bobcat's hydraulically powered SmartFAN senses the temperature of the machine and only turns as fast as needed.

Radio Capable: Order your loader with a stereo to increase your comfort. The radio features an auxiliary audio input jack that is ready for an MP3 player or other audio device.

Rear Defrost: Defrosts the new, larger rear window with new rear air ducts.

Suspension Seat: Other comfort items include a fully adjustable suspension seat, adjusting easily to the operator's weight.

Attachment Control Device: In simplest terms, the optional Attachment Control Device makes it possible for the loader and attachment to communicate.

Bob-Tach®: Change attachments in less than a minute! You can replace a bucket with a pallet fork, landscape rake, auger, grapple, and more than 55 Bobcat loader attachments quickly and easily with the Bob-TachBob-Tach® mounting system. Watch the side-by-side Bobcat Advantage Quick-Tach Comparison video.

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 an engine anti-stall system robbing you of power when you need it the most.

Counterweight Ready: The new Bobcat loaders come with holes for frame-mounted counterweights, so you can increase lifting performance with certain attachments.

Faster Cycle Times: Hydraulic pumps in Bobcat loaders are matched to cylinder size and loader lift capacity to provide fast cycle times that help you get the job done faster.

High-Flow Hydraulics: Need more attachment power? This optional system provides additional hydraulic power to boost production of attachments.

Hydraulic Bucket Positioning: Optional hydraulic bucket positioning keeps your bucket level when raising lift arms, reducing spillage and allowing you to work more efficiently.

More Torque: Bobcat loaders reach maximum torque at a lower RPM to minimize stalling and save time and fuel.

Power Bob-Tach® Powered Mounting System: Change non-hydraulic attachments from the comfort of your cab. With the flip of a switch, you can swap a bucket with pallet forks without ever leaving your seat with the optional Power Bob-Tach® mounting system.

Powerful Breakout Forces: High-efficiency hydraulic pumps deliver more power, matched to demand and providing better breakout forces. Bobcat loaders have unmatched lift breakout. Watch the results in the Bobcat Advantage Lift Breakout Challenge video.

Quick Couplers with Pressure Release: By simply pushing the coupler inward, the hydraulic oil is released through a return line back into the machine. The result is clean, quick attachment changes time after time.

Remote Control: All loaders equipped with Selectable Joystick Control or All Wheel Steer can be operated by the optional Radio Remote Control. Bobcat Company is the first and only company to introduce a new way to operate your equipment without having to have an operator in the cab. This is a smart solution for hot, dusty environments or on jobs where you'd rather be outside of the machine.

Ride Control: Optional ride control is the cushioning the loader lift circuit, which helps increase the smoothness of the ride.

Roller Suspension: Bobcat’s Roller Suspension is the first suspension system for compact track loaders that uses an all steel design for increase durability, as well as the only suspension for the more durable steel inbed tracks. What makes the Roller Suspension system the best choice for a smoother ride? Watch the Bobcat Advantage Suspension Comparison video.

Selectable Joystick Controls: Optional SJC allows you to operate the machine with only your hands. You can easily switch between, "ISO” pattern, where the left joystick operates the drive functions and the right joystick controls the workgroup, or "H" pattern with a dash-mounted rocker switch inside the cab.

Two-Speed (Optional): Boost top travel speed by as much as 57 percent and reduce the time it takes to travel across a jobsite or between jobs.

Battery Run-Down Protection: The lighting circuit automatically shuts down to prevent accidental battery discharge. It is voltage sensitive, and will turn the lights off prior to battery discharge.

Dual Path Cooling: The loader draws in a majority of cool, clean air from above through the oil cooler and radiator, while small amounts of hot air are drawn out of the engine compartment. The combination is then exhausted out two side vents, keeping hot air away from the operator, providing more efficient cooling and keeping engine components clean. Is the Bobcat cooling system really more effective than others? See for yourself in the Cooling Advantages video.

Hydraulic Sight Gauge: Enables easy, quick hydraulic oil checks through a gauge that's visible as you walk by the loader.

Machine Shutdown Protection: Bobcat loaders come standard with automatic shutdown that monitors engine and hydraulic functions. The system alerts the operator and actually shuts the machine down—lessening the chance of damage to the engine or hydraulic components.

Powerful Lighting: Light output is now increased by over 50%. This new lighting system emits a high-intensity beam that illuminates a broad working area around the front of the machine.

Protected Cooling Location: The Bobcat loader radiator and hydraulic oil cooler are well protected between the frame uprights, above the engine and out of danger. Learn more about the Bobcat cooling system in the Cooling Advantages video.

Protected Quick Couplers: The integrated, pressure-release quick couplers are mounted directly into the front plate of the lift arm – with no exposed hoses to damage. Your couplers are protected even further with a guard that extends out beyond the coupler. Learn why this matters by watching the Bobcat Advantage Hose Routing Comparison video.

Protected Hose Routing: We provide better protection of our hoses by running them through the loader arms and frame uprights. We use more expensive steel tubing in the areas that are exposed to outside elements. The simplicity in the design is that hoses are less apt to be snagged and broken if they are not exposed, meaning more time working for you. Compare other brands in the Bobcat Advantage Hose Routing Comparison video.

Protected Tailgate: The one piece ¼” inch thick door is solid steel. There are no cooling holes, slots, or other openings on the heavy-duty door that could potentially lead to extra time in the shop.

Removable Hose Guide: Provides better auxiliary hose routing and security; slide the guide onto your hydraulic hose and clip it on the machine before operation. Clip the hose on the attachment frame when it isn't in use.

Single Plane Design: The patented single plane design of Bobcat loader lift arms is superior to other machines. We keep every pin and connecting point in the same plane, greatly reducing the side deflection of the lift arm. This stronger design leads to longer lift arm life because there is less chance of failure and better wearing. Watch more benefits in the Bobcat Advantage Lift Arm Comparison video.

Steel Tracks: Bobcat offers the only compact loader with optional steel tracks to give you increased uptime and more pushing power in brutal, abrasive working environments. These hard-wearing tracks provide longer undercarriage life and unmatched pushing force.

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.

Increased Cooling Capacity with Easier Cleaning: The re-engineered cooling system gives you more efficient, higher-capacity cooling for better performance and longer machine life. Additionally, the swing-up cleaning access feature makes removing dust and debris easy and ensures peak performance from your cooling system.

Protected Tailgate: The one piece ¼” inch thick door is solid steel. There are no cooling holes, slots, or other openings on the heavy-duty door that could potentially lead to extra time in the shop.
