Pressurized Interior

You stay clean and comfortable in the best-in-class pressurized cab. Bobcat M-Series cabs achieve best-in-class status through the one-piece pressure seal engaging the entire door on the front and sides, compressing the seal into a specialized curved door pocket that keeps out dust and debris.

Bobcat compared its pressurized cab with other loader cabs. You might be surprised to see the results in this video.

Air Ride Seats

Achieve optimal suspension comfort with the optional air ride seats. Riding on air suspension helps you smooth out the bumps and increases comfort. The seat offers time-saving features by customizing your weight adjustment and suspension travel much faster.

Unique Cab Forward Design

The distinct M-Series cab-forward design improves all-around visibility. By moving the operator area forward, you receive enhanced views of the bucket and attachments

All-Around Visibility Improvements

M-Series skid steer loaders and compact track loaders offer better visibility in all directions. The rear window is 14% larger, while the size of the top window is now 43% larger. You'll notice the difference as you load a truck or use attachments with raised lift arms. The larger windows also boost your visibility to the sides and tracks.

Bobcat offers the best all-around visibility � and we can prove it. Watch this video comparison.

Quiet Operation

The new M-Series cab is bigger � and quieter. Inside the cab, sound levels are reduced by more than 60% to increase your comfort. New engine mounts better isolate sound levels and vibration.

Seat-Mounted Joystick Controls

On M-Series loaders with Selectable Joystick Controls (SJC), the joysticks are mounted to the seat. As the suspension seat shifts up and down, the joysticks move with the seat. Reduce your arm movement and increase your comfort.

The joystick mounts on SJC-equipped loaders shift forward and backward, independent of the seat. Adjust the joysticks to your preferred operating position.

Bigger Entry/Exit

Enter and exit the cab with ease. The industry's largest cab opening is now even larger, combined with increased front cab-door surface area. The door threshold is lowered for easier entry and exit. The lower door threshold also provides better visibility to the attachment and work area.

Surrounded by Comfort

The new M-Series cab is filled with premium improvements that keep you comfortable, make your work more enjoyable and help long days on the job go faster.
