Before purchasing any hydraulic attachment, check your specific Bobcat model’s auxiliary flow rating in the operator’s manual or with your dealer. The Bobcat Bob-Tach™ quick-attach system means switching between confirmed-compatible attachments takes seconds, so a well-chosen set of three or four attachments can cover the full working year from a single compact track loader.

Grading Attachments — Bucket, Blade, or Dedicated Grader?

Levelling a site with a standard bucket is a reasonable starting point for rough cut grading, but it becomes frustrating and time-consuming the moment finish quality matters. When preparing a base for paving, levelling a sports pitch, or managing a gravel track in a farmyard, a dedicated grading attachment changes what is achievable.

Bobcat’s dedicated Grader attachment features a six-way hydraulically controlled blade that the operator manages from the seat via switches on the steering levers. The blade shifts sideways and angles independently, allowing material to be moved with a precision that a fixed bucket cannot match. For flatwork where accuracy is commercially important, the optional laser control package takes this further. The Bobcat Box Blade offers laser-guided grade accuracy for finish work where the surface must be consistently level. A dozer blade, meanwhile, is best understood as a high-volume pushing tool suited to bulk material movement rather than precision grading.
