MT120 Mini Track Loader

The Bobcat MT120 is a stand-on mini track loader with a 1,200-pound rated operating capacity, best-in-class lift height and reach and a rubber-track undercarriage that helps reduce ground disturbance.

The Bobcat MT120 combines maneuverability, strong lifting performance and attachment versatility to help operators lift, carry, dig, grade and move materials while reducing manual work with wheelbarrows, shovels and hand tools.

The Bobcat MT120 is commonly used in landscaping, grounds maintenance, construction, property maintenance, snow removal, rental applications and various other jobs.

The Bobcat MT120 has an operating weight of 3,720 pounds with a bucket. Actual transport weight may vary depending on the attachment, mounting system and machine configuration.

The MT120’s operating weight is important because it can affect:

• Jobsite access: Informs equipment planning in tight or hard-to-access areas.
• Ground pressure: Works with the rubber-track undercarriage to help distribute machine weight across the ground.
• Material handling context: Factors alongside the machine’s 1,200-pound rated operating capacity, attachment choice and configuration when lifting, carrying and placing materials.
• Transport planning: Helps buyers plan trailer capacity, towing setup and transport needs.

Lift capacity and rated operating capacity (ROC) are often used interchangeably when discussing loader performance. The Bobcat MT120 has a ROC of 1,200 pounds. This refers to the weight the machine is rated to lift and carry during normal operation. The MT120 also provides a best-in-class 88.2-inch lift height to the bucket hinge pin, giving operators additional height and reach for loading trucks, trailers and placing materials.

Actual lifting and carrying performance may vary based on attachment, load size, material type, machine configuration and jobsite conditions.

The Bobcat MT120 is 35.6 inches wide with standard tracks (9.1 inches) and 40.6 inches wide with 11-inch wide tracks. Overall width may vary depending on the track option, attachment and machine configuration.

Available track-width considerations include:

• Standard tracks (9.1 inches): Maintain the MT120’s 35.6-inch base machine width.
• Wide tracks (11 inches): Increase the MT120’s base machine width to just 40.6 inches.  
• General purpose bucket: The MT120 may be about 36 inches wide when outfitted with the smallest compatible general purpose bucket.
• Attachment width: Buckets and other attachments may be wider than the machine itself.

The width of the MT120 is important because it affects:

• Access to tight spaces: Helps the MT120 fit through many gates, doorways, fence openings and narrow paths where larger equipment may not fit.
• Tight-space applications: Supports work in landscaping, grounds maintenance, construction, property maintenance and renovation areas.
• Working around finished areas: Allows operators to maneuver around landscaping, hardscapes, established lawns, sidewalks and other finished spaces.
• Transport and storage planning: Factors into trailer selection, storage requirements and access-point planning when choosing a track and attachment setup.

When comparing width, buyers should consider the base machine width, selected track option and attachment working width to make sure the full machine-and-attachment setup fits the intended work area.

The Bobcat MT120 is compatible with more than 50 approved attachments for a wide range of applications. Common options include buckets, pallet forks, augers, trenchers, grapples, landplanes, soil conditioners, angle brooms, tillers, snow blades, hydraulic breakers and stump grinders. These attachments expand the MT120’s usefulness across landscaping, grounds maintenance, tree care, nursery work, construction, property maintenance, snow removal and other applications.

Attachments & applications include:

• Buckets: Dig and level, move soil, mulch, gravel, debris and other loose materials.
• Pallet forks: Carry palletized materials, nursery stock, supplies and jobsite materials.
• Augers: Dig holes for fence posts, trees, footings and similar installation work.
• Trenchers and vibratory plows: Install irrigation, drainage, utilities, cable and pipe.
• Grapples: Handle brush, logs, debris, roots and irregular materials.
• Landplanes and soil conditioners: Grade and level surfaces, prepare seedbeds and complete lawn renovation and site preparation.
• Angle brooms: Remove dirt, dried mud, light snow and debris from paved or finished surfaces.
• Tillers: Prepare soil for landscaping and ground renovation work.
• Snow blades and snowblowers: Clear snow from sidewalks, driveways, parking areas and other tight-access spaces.
• Hydraulic and nitrogen breakers: efficiently break concrete, rock, asphalt, and other tough materials; demolition
• Stump grinders: Remove stumps in large, open areas and small, compact environments

The right attachment depends on the job, material, access area and machine configuration. Buyers should confirm attachment compatibility, mounting interface, hydraulic requirements and working width before selecting an attachment for the MT120.

The Bobcat MT120 is used for digging, grading, leveling, trenching, loading, carrying materials, preparing soil, clearing brush and debris, and removing snow in tight or hard-to-access work areas. Its compact size and attachment versatility allow operators to use one machine for a wide range of jobs that might otherwise require wheelbarrows, shovels and other hand tools.

Common industries and applications include:

• Landscaping: Move soil, mulch, rock and other landscaping materials; prepare planting areas; grade surfaces; renovate lawns; and install fences or irrigation.
