UW56 Toolcat Utility Work Machine

Better maneuverability makes getting work done easier. That’s why the Toolcat™ utility work machine, with all-wheel steer, is the picture of productivity. With a turning radius of 11.2 feet, the Toolcat utility work machine can do more in tight spaces

The steering angle allows the outside wheels to rotate faster than the inside wheels for fast, effortless turns around trees, through tight corners, on sensitive ground and when maneuvering in and out of tiny workspaces like in barns or between buildings. And with its hydraulic power steering, you’ll have nearly effortless control. 

The rear wheels make tight turns without damaging lawns or leaving marks on driveways. On hard surfaces like asphalt or concrete, all-wheel steer minimizes tire wear. Similarly, when you work on soft, manicured surfaces like grass or turf, you’ll minimize ground disturbance. Each wheel of the Toolcat UW56 and UW53 moves separately through the turning arc and rolls smoothly through the turn. That means you won't have to spend time re-installing sod or planting grass after the job is done. 

If your work doesn’t require all-wheel steer, you can operate in front-wheel steer. Make the change from one steering mode to the other without leaving the operator's seat. Simply align the front and rear wheels using the AWS indicator lights, press the switch and away you go. It's the best of both worlds. 

Preparing for success means being ready for anything. That’s why the exclusive hydrostatic four-wheel drive system in Toolcat utility work machines delivers as much traction and torque as possible. With it, you can power through snow or up an incline. 

When auxiliary hydraulics are engaged, variable flow allows for precise control of hydraulic attachments such as Bobcat® grapples. It allows you to manage the auxiliary oil flow to open and close the grapple as slowly or quickly as you want. 

Trapped line pressure can make attachment changes anything but easy. Toolcat™ utility work machines feature quick couplers to release trapped pressure. When you push the coupler inward, hydraulic oil is released through a return line back into the machine. The result is a clean, quick attachment change every time. 

Leave your shovel in the shed. With the hydraulic dump cargo box, you can quickly unload brush and debris without leaving the cab of your Toolcat™ UW56, simply lower the tailgate and pull a lever located inside the cab.

When mowing heavy brush, driving through sand, digging, tilling or working on a steep incline, horsepower management automatically increases and decreases pressure in the hydrostatic transmission to keep your machine at top performance.

Uneven ground? No worries. Enable float while moving forward for smooth performance with a seeder, snow blower and mower. Float in reverse for finish grading with a bucket or when you want to avoid tire marks on a seedbed. Engage it by pushing the joystick forward.

Forget about holding down a switch while using bidirectional attachments like sweepers and tillers. Dual direction detent delivers continuous hydraulic flow to the attachment in either direction. 

The 5-inch display screen supports enhanced diagnostics and serviceability. It’s also compatible with an optional rear view camera. 

Two selectable drive response modes allow operators to tailor machine responsiveness to their preference.

One person can change attachments in less than a minute. With the standard Bob-Tach® attachment mounting system, attachment hookup is quick and easy. Optional on the UW56, the Power Bob-Tach system allows you to change non-hydraulic attachments without leaving the comfort of your cab. Just line up the attachment and press the button. 

The efficient Bobcat® Tier 4 engine provides the performance you need while reducing and simplifying routine maintenance. Thanks to an innovative new fuel system, low fuel levels are more forgiving for busy operators. The engine also improves cold-weather operation and includes a variety of features that make maintenance and service more convenient. 

There’s a direct correlation between comfort and productivity. With this understanding, it’s easy to see why Toolcat™ utility work machines were designed with your comfort in mind. 

The comfort is in the details throughout the redesigned cab with improved ergonomics and additional features including a USB port for charging mobile devices, 12-volt power outlet, a larger storage tray and deeper cup holders for tall beverages. Plus the Interior trim is standard and insulates the left and right side panels of the center console.

Operators appreciate the large door openings for easy entry, tilt steering, operator-friendly controls, adjustable vents and an adjustable driver’s seat. Other optional features include a heat and air conditioning system, with a Bluetooth radio system and driver’s suspension seat. 

When you start your work you’ll notice the large windows, which offer a clear view of your attachments. The large rear window helps you easily see your rear implements and work area. Inside, the controls are within easy reach, and most importantly, easy to operate.

Don’t settle for a difficult-to-use machine. The controls in the Toolcat™ utility work machines are intelligently placed and ergonomically designed. Controls on the joystick allow you to operate attachments without having to look away from your work. The addition of the steering knob allows operators to keep one hand on the wheel to navigate tight turns and keep the other hand on the joystick. Operators can easily shift between high and low range on the fly and cruise control allows you to set your travel speed and go.  

From the responsive joystick controls for attachments to simple switches and levers for secondary functions such as lights and auxiliary hydraulics, every control is thoughtfully designed for easy operation. Everything you need to operate the utility work machine is clearly laid out, and most importantly, simple to use. 

Stay productive at night or in low light conditions with four standard LED front work lights. An optional Deluxe Road Package comes with two LED headlights, two LED rear work lights, tail lights, turn signals, flashers a rearview mirror, side mirrors, horn and a back-up alarm. 

With the SmartFAN, you’ll enjoy better cooling with reduced volume and noise. Unlike a belt-driven fan that runs continuously while the engine is running, the SmartFAN responds to the engine coolant and hydraulic oil temperatures and only runs at full speed when needed.

Toolcat™ utility work machines keep you up and running with machine shutdown protection, battery rundown protection and an LCD display that shows machine service codes. And many of its components—such as the engine and cooling system—are the same as those found in our legendary loaders. 

Stop losing valuable time trying to find your machine keys. You might even save on your insurance premiums because of your reduced risk for theft or unauthorized use. 

A rigid spine frame is the foundation of the Toolcat™ utility work machine’s tough design. It enables you to maintain balance when lifting, digging, pushing and traveling on uneven ground. Important components are protected from dirt, debris and foreign objects, while routine maintenance items are still easily accessible. 

The Toolcat includes many other features designed to enhance the utility work machine’s performance and uptime.  Enhancements include: 

• A standard 120-amp alternator for greater electrical supply 
• Larger access points for more convenient service 
• A larger fuel filter with more than double the media surface area and extended filter life 
• Added corrosion protection throughout the frame and utility box 
• Extended fenders for added protection 
• An improved wiring harness for greater reliability and serviceability 
• Updated body styling, a redesigned cab and updated interior dash with more convenient touch points and other comfort improvements
• Optional HD Battery
