Feature Details
Operation Data
You’ll have added convenience and more control over your machine with operation data. It includes coolant temperature, throttle position, idle time, and engine RPM. Additionally, you can check your excavator’s fuel consumption in real time, annually or hourly fuel consumption. You can even check to see which operator has used the most fuel.
Password-Protected Keyless Start
Eliminate downtime due to lost keys. Remove the risk of spare keys in the pockets of current or former employees. Reduce the chance of theft or unauthorized use. You might even reduce your insurance premiums. Integrated keyless start provides for one assignable owner code and up to eight operator codes.
Functional Lockouts
Protect your investment from misuse or accidental use by locking out certain functions such as high-flow hydraulics and two-speed.
Maintenance Reminders
Reminders of service intervals ensure you maximize your performance.
Multiple Languages
Deluxe Instrumentation can provide information about machine performance in English, Spanish and five other languages.
Eco Mode
Save on fuel costs with the eco mode feature on Bobcat excavators. This feature optimizes engine performance for less fuel consumption. Easily toggle on or off using a switch inside the cab.
Depth Check System
Achieve an accurate grade every time without leaving your cab by using the Bobcat® depth check system. Efficient and easy to use, the system delivers accurate dig depth measurement for precision grading performance. It eliminates over-digging and the costs associated with backfilling and compacting fill material. It also prevents under-digging and the resulting need for manual labor to finalize depth or grade.
Standard Instrumentation
Multiple Access Options
Access to your excavator can be accomplished in three ways: standard panel with key, standard panel with keypad for keyless start and one programmable owner code, or the optional deluxe instrumentation panel with integrated keyless start, which includes provisions for one owner code and up to eight user codes. You can also cost-effectively upgrade keyed machines to a keyless start system.
Standard Instrumentation
Every excavator comes with the standard instrumentation system which is designed for enhanced functionality and improved ergonomics. The forward-mount instrument panel allows for improved joystick switch ergonomics and improved operator comfort, making it easy to quickly glance at the screen. The panel location aligns with existing cab components and work group structures to maintain visibility to your attachment.
