How does serviceability translate into profits?
Ease of Serviceability:
Routine maintenance is an important factor in controlling operating costs. Bobcat loaders have the most convenient access to components in the industry.
- One-side serviceability is provided by a swing open tailgate and transversely mounted engine. Daily maintenance items such as engine fluid check, fi lters, battery, air cleaner and other components are all within easy reach.
- Fast access to hydraulic and hydrostatic components is a five minute procedure by simply removing two nuts and tipping back the cab. Other brands may take up to an hour and require special tools.
- Easy-to-clean oil cooler and radiator.
Bobcat Belt Drive - The Best Engine Access:
Bobcat loaders utilize a multi-groove Kevlar™ belt and different size pulleys to power the hydraulic system. This allows the pump to turn faster than the engine, and provides the following benefits:
- One-side serviceability of all routine maintenance points due to a transversely-mounted engine.
- A quieter engine with a longer service life.
- Minimal maintenance with spring loaded idlers that maintain belt tension.
- 3-Year Belt Warranty (if belt needs to be replaced)
Bobcat has been using this system since 1983. It is time tested,
exclusive to our loaders and offers more benefits than a direct drive
system similar to the one we used over twenty years ago.
