Adaptive Performance

CONTROL THAT ADAPTS. POWER THAT LASTS.

No two jobsites are the same—and your loader should be able to tackle them all. Bobcat adaptive performance gives you the power to fine-tune machine response to match your preferences and the task at hand. Keep your bucket level when loading or unloading, adjust workgroup and drive response for more control and operate a wide range of attachments with intuitive on-screen guidance. With smarter controls built in, you’ll work faster, stay more precise and keep productivity high all day long.

    Personalized Control

    DIAL IN EVERY MOVEMENT.

    Bobcat loaders give you the flexibility to match machine response to the jobsite, your operating style and the task. With personalized control, you can adjust lift, tilt, and drive settings through on-screen menus or joystick controls to balance precision and speed. Speed management maintains consistent travel speed for hydraulic attachments, while auto throttle allows you to adjust engine speed with the joysticks. Additional features like steering drift compensation, foot throttle control, and joystick controls for hydraulic attachments provide the fine adjustments you need to work accurately, reduce fatigue and stay productive across changing conditions.
