Utility Tractors

A utility tractor is a mid-sized agricultural and property maintenance machine designed to perform a wide variety of tasks such as material handling, snow removal, mowing, tilling, grading and hauling. Utility tractors feature a category 2 3-point hitch and rear power take-off (PTO) to operate implements, along with options for front-end loaders and hydraulic attachments. 

Bobcat utility tractors include models from 66 to 73 horsepower and are engineered for versatility and productivity. Key features include: 

• Category 2 3-point hitch for attaching implements such as box blades, tillers or rakes.
• 540/540E-rear PTO for powering implements such as rotary cutters, augers and spreaders.
• Mechanical self-leveling front-end loader (optional attachment) for efficient material handling.
• Powershuttle transmission that allows smooth forward/reverse shifting without using the clutch pedal—ideal for loader work.
• Open station or cab configurations with heat and air conditioning for year-round operator comfort.

Utility tractors are widely used in farming, landscaping, municipal maintenance and property management, where operators value both power and flexibility. With a wide range of compatible Bobcat attachments and implements, one machine can handle multiple jobs across every season. 

To choose the right tractor, evaluate your work, terrain and attachments or implements: 

• Horsepower: If you expect heavy loader work or utilizing larger implements, opt for higher horsepower tractors like the UT6573. 
• Transmission type: Bobcat’s powershuttle lets you shift direction easily without clutching; good for loader work and repeated forward/reverse tasks.
• Implements and attachments: Will you need a category 2 3-point hitch, PTO-powered implements, disc harrows, tine rakes or other implements? 
• Operator comfort and cab features: Cab enclosure, heat, air conditioning and good visibility all count when you’re using it all day.
• Speed and lift capacity: Consider transport speed and front loader lift capacity based on how often you move materials or travel across larger properties. Higher-capacity utility tractors can improve efficiency when handling heavier loads or covering more ground.

Your Bobcat dealer can help match the tractor configuration (model, attachments, tire/loader setup) to your specific tasks.

Utility tractors stand apart in the Bobcat lineup for their combination of horsepower, implement compatibility, and all-day comfort. They are designed to handle demanding work that requires pulling power, rear PTO performance, and higher-capacity loader capability. 

Here’s how utility tractors compare to other machines: 

Versus compact tractors: 
Utility tractors offer higher horsepower, larger frames, and increased lift and towing capability. With a category 2 3-point hitch and the ability to power larger PTO-driven implements, they are better suited for heavier material handling, tillage, and long-duty-cycle work. 

Versus articulating tractors: 
Utility tractors focus on straight-frame stability, rear implement performance, and heavier front-loader work. Articulating tractors excel in turf-sensitive applications and tight turning environments, while utility tractors are preferred when lifting capacity, ground engagement, and PTO-powered implements are the priority. 

This balance of power, capacity, and implement versatility makes utility tractors a strong choice for property management, agricultural tasks, and maintenance operations that demand consistent performance across a wide range of jobs.

Operation is designed for both novice and experienced users: 

• Start by referring to the operator’s manual for your specific Bobcat model.
• Use the powershuttle transmission controls to shift directions smoothly without requiring clutching for UT6066, UT6566 and UT6573 models.
• Control front end loader with numerous attachment options utilizing integrated joystick. The optional front end loader is a mechanical self-leveling style which helps to maintain level loads and reduce spillage.
• Use PTO and hitch systems for implements that require it; ensure you follow safety procedures when connecting and using PTO‐driven equipment.

Bobcat provides training resources and dealer support to help new operators become efficient quickly. 

Bobcat offers three utility tractor models designed to cover a range of power needs and operator preferences. The primary differences between models are horsepower output and operator station configuration, allowing you to choose the right balance of performance and comfort for your work. 

UT6066

• Approximately 66 horsepower 
• Available in an open station configuration 
• Designed for general property maintenance, material handling, and PTO-driven implement work 
• Compatible with a wide range of available front-end loader and implement options 

UT6566

• Approximately 66 horsepower 
• Available with an enclosed cab or open station, depending on configuration 
• Offers the same core performance as the UT6066, with additional comfort options for all-weather work 
• Supports available front-end loader, self-leveling, and implement configurations 

UT6573

• Approximately 73 horsepower 
• Available with an enclosed cab for enhanced all-day comfort 
• Increased power supports heavier-duty loader work and larger PTO-driven implements 
• Compatible with the same loader and implement options, with added capacity for demanding applications 

These models provide consistent capability across the lineup, with step-up options based on horsepower and cab preference rather than entirely different machine classes. Your Bobcat dealer can help configure the right tractor, loader, and implement setup to match your workload and operating environment. 

Utility tractors are available through the network of authorized Bobcat dealers. Use the dealer locator to find one near you. Dealers also offer inventory, quote options, demo machines and attachment and implement support—or use Build & Quote to configure your utility tractor just the way you want it. 

Buying through a Bobcat dealer provides more than just access to equipment. Dealers deliver: 

• Expert guidance to help match the right model and configuration to your specific needs. 
• Hands-on demos so you can experience machine performance before you buy. 
• Flexible financing and leasing options through Bobcat Financial. 
• Ongoing support with parts, service, and routine maintenance to protect your uptime. 
• Attachment and implement knowledge to help you get the most out of your tractor across seasons and applications. 

Partnering with a Bobcat dealer ensures you not only get the right machine but also the long-term support to keep it working at peak performance. 

Pricing depends on model, implements, cab options and front-end loader configuration. As a reference point: 

• Models begin in the mid-$40,000 USD range.
• Added options like loader, enclosed cab, hydraulics, etc., increase total cost.
