Bobcat loaders deliver the right amount of power to each component. That directly translates to more power and balanced performance. Each component - including the engine, pumps, and hydraulic system - is engineered to deliver maximum hydraulic performance. For you, that means faster cycle times and better job-site productivity. 

With Bobcat® Selectable Joystick Controls (SJC), available on most loader models, the power is in your hands. They're the most advanced joysticks on the market, engineered and built with technology and features to help you run your machine and attachments more efficiently than ever. No other joysticks in the industry come close to delivering this level of customization and control you'll find with SJC. Our system lets you control your loader and attachments easily and comfortably. They’re loaded with many Bobcat-exclusive features. 

With Bobcat Standard Controls, operators control the drive functions with dual steering levers and manage the loader lift and tilt with dual foot pedals. 

Automatic ride control reduces material spillage, allowing you to travel at faster speeds across rough terrain. Thanks to its dampening effect, the option also increases operator comfort by offering a smoother ride.

The 2-Speed travel option boosts your top travel speed. Reduce your travel time across jobsites, limit the need to load and unload your machine on a trailer and shorten your long-haul tasks. 

All loaders that are equipped with Selectable Joystick Control (SJC) can be operated by a remote-control system, so you can operate the machine without an operator in the cab. The remote control is completely portable. If you have multiple machines, you can quickly remove the remote from one machine and attach it to another in minutes.

Deluxe Instrumentation brings upgraded communication, monitoring, productivity and control to your Bobcat® skid-steer loader or compact track loader. It monitors key loader functions, communicates alerts and provides additional attachment information to track usage. 

Bobcat loaders feature the exclusive SmartFAN that only turns as fast as needed. The patented design cools more efficiently, while the radiator and hydraulic oil cooler are protected from jobsite hazards. Additionally, Bobcat offers an optional automatic reversing fan which clears debris from the radiator screen while you’re working in dirty environments.

When not carrying a load, Bobcat skid-steer loaders offer a weight distribution of 70 percent in the rear and 30 percent in the front for balanced, easy turning and ideal performance. It offers effective turning and skidding, reduced fuel consumption and power requirements, increased drive train and tire life, and less wear and tear compared to “flat-footed” machines sold by other manufacturers.

Bobcat loaders with enclosed cabs feature a best-in-class, pressurizing front door seal that repels dust and keeps clean, heated or air-conditioned air inside, for maximum comfort. 

Adjustable seats on our skid-steer loaders and compact track loaders set the standard for comfort. No matter your height, it’s easy to find a comfortable operating position with multiple adjustment points. 

Adjustable seats on our skid-steer loaders and compact track loaders set new standards for comfort. No matter your height, it’s easy to find a comfortable operating position with multiple adjustment points. With the optional air ride seat, you’ll experience maximum suspension comfort. It adjusts to your weight, helping you smooth out the bumps on your jobsite. 

If you work on a busy jobsite, you know that noise can be a daily frustration. Bobcat® loaders include many sound dampening features that keep your cab quieter. 

Bobcat skid-steer loaders and compact track loaders are engineered with large swing-open doors, and a lowered door threshold, which provide ample headroom for exit and entry. Inside, even tall operators will be comfortable with plenty of headroom. Additionally, the swing-open door doesn't take up cab space and can be removed without tools. 

Jobsite hazards are everywhere and when your machine is out of operation for repairs, you lose time and money. With Bobcat skid-steer loaders and compact track loaders, you’re ready for nearly anything that you’ll encounter. Each component is designed for reliable protection. That means peace of mind, no matter the conditions of your jobsite. 

Bobcat diesel engines are engineered to guard against the damaging effects of extremely cold weather. They prevent premature wear by automatically increasing the idle speed (rpm) to warm up oil and set a maximum operating speed (rpm) to prevent premature component wear or failure. Depending on the engine oil temperature, the protection may activate for several seconds to a few minutes. 

Every skid-steer and compact track loader is engineered with multiple protection technologies. Working together, they shield your machine and minimize the risk of failure. For you, that means better reliability and the confidence to do your work.

The biggest advantage of our Tier 4 solution is simplicity. Bobcat engines meet Tier 4 regulations without a diesel particulate filter (DPF). This reduces downtime that occurs with DPF regeneration and long-term DPF maintenance costs. That allows operators to focus on working. 

Quickly secure your skid-steer loader or compact track loader without searching for hard-to-reach tie-downs. The tie-downs are easy to locate and use.

Many brands will tout the ability to adjust their loaders' drive chains. These periodic adjustments cost you time, productivity and money. Bobcat has offered a better way for years with its skid-steer loaders: No adjustments. Bobcat welds its axle tubes to the loader chaincase. This, along with tight tolerance chain placement, eliminates the need for adjustments. So instead of spending time in the shop, you can spend time on the job with Bobcat skid-steer loaders. 

Bobcat loaders offer one-sided serviceability thanks to the exclusive belt-drive system. This durable technology with a multi-groove Kevlar™ belt allows your loader engine to run slower for reduced noise and increased durability. It’s also more efficient with an optimized engine-to-pump package. 

Change attachments quickly and easily using the time-tested standard Bob-Tach mounting system included with every loader, or upgrade to the Power Bob-Tach system - available on select models - for swapping non-hydraulic attachments without leaving your seat. 

Our attachments help you do much more than dig. Bobcat offers attachment versatility across carriers combined with unbeatable attachment support from the Bobcat dealer network.

Quickly swap non-hydraulic attachments without leaving your seat using the Bob-Tach attachment mounting system available on select models. And for hydraulic attachments, all you need to do is hook up the hoses after you have secured the attachment. Using the Power Bob-Tach mounting system is fast and easy. After lining up your attachment, simply press a switch inside the cab to engage the wedges into the attachment. They lock into place and keep the attachment secure.
