Maintenance: Easy Access to Engine Components

A well-maintained piece of equipment will last longer. Bobcat compact tractors have simple and convenient maintenance points. Check the hydraulic and engine oil levels daily without removing panels. For added ease, key maintenance checks are color-coded in orange. To complete other service, the hood and side panels remove quickly for instant access to engine components.

Easy Access to Primary and Secondary Screens

Cleaning the radiator and hydraulic cooler screens is a critical daily check, especially in hot or dirty conditions. On Bobcat compact tractors, you easily access the screens by lifting a full-open hood and sliding them out. No tools are necessary. Clean debris in seconds and keep the cooling system operating efficiently.

Easy Battery and Fuse Panel Access

You have easy access to the battery and fuse panel for inspections, troubleshooting and service.

Strong Hood Support

As you perform maintenance checks and service, the hood stays out of your way. The full-open hood provides easy access to the engine compartment. A tilt-up hood with strut support, available on most models, helps you lift and secure the hood. When the front end loader and optional grill guard are installed, the hood still lifts without interference.

Easy-to-Remove Side Panels

It’s simple to remove the side panels when you need to reach the alternator, starter or other engine components.

On-Board Tool Box

Keep tools in the on-board tool box for adjustments or repairs.

Long Durability: Built to Bobcat Standards

Bobcat compact tractors meet and exceed the toughest standards in the industry – Bobcat Company standards. They share many advantages – including superior engineering and materials, easy maintenance and the best dealer network – as our legendary loaders and excavators. Our components are rigorously tested in a wide range of applications.

Protection from the Elements

Compact tractors are expected to work in harsh environments with dust, debris, moisture, and extreme temperatures. Bobcat compact tractors are designed to be protected from these harsh elements.

Metal fenders and hood: The metal fenders and hood resist cracks and fading.

Sealed electrical connections: Sealed electrical connections improve reliability.

Two-stage air filter: A two-stage air filter (on most models) provides additional protection against harmful debris entering the engine.

Cordura-wrapped hoses: Cordura wrapping protects front-end loader hoses from wear due to vibration and weathering.

Bobcat Quality Fluids

Ensure optimum cooling and lubrication by using Bobcat quality fluids. They match the compact tractor’s specifications and increase component life.

Strong Electrical System

Bobcat compact tractors are well-equipped to run accessory lights or implements with electric motors, such as a sprayer. The high-capacity alternator ensures peak electrical system performance, while a high-capacity battery provides reliable starts and charging. The modern electrical system keeps the compact tractor performing consistently.

Strong Cooling

In extreme temperatures, it's vital to prevent critical engine and hydraulic components from overheating. Bobcat compact tractors with the HST option rely on dual cooling and efficient design to control engine and hydrostatic transmission temperatures.

Radiator and Hydraulic Cooler: The Bobcat dual-cooling system keeps all engine and hydrostatic transmission components at optimum temperatures. A dedicated radiator cools the engine on all compact tractors. On compact tractors with the HST option, an oil cooler maintains hydraulic oil temperatures in the hydrostatic transmission. The dual-cooling system is more effective than single-radiator systems that provide limited hydrostatic transmission cooling.

Sealed Engine Compartment: The sealed engine compartment ensures that air is forced through – and not around – the radiator and hydraulic cooler.
